As a writer and Journey Coach, I will always advocate journaling as a way to express your innermost feelings and thoughts without fear of judgement or comments from others. There is more to it than that though. Because of our nature, we forget things...even important things that we should remember.

Do you ever just see yourself, your life, and your future as being a part of one big scene of camouflaged wilderness? You know...it all seems to blend in without uniqueness or boldness. I had an experience as I was looking out on the lake last night, and I valued it so much, I thought it worthy of posting. It's extremely dark in the area where I live.

Just to let you know, I've lacked in the inspiration department lately...as if you couldn't tell. I realized that it's not that I don't have anything to write about, but it's that I have too much to write about. Am I making any sense at all? If not, click out, do your search, and go visit one of those "other" blogs.

Hi everyone! I've been taking time to work out some family stuff recently and have not posted the usual daily article. I found a poem by Susan Polis Schultz that really spoke to me this week and wanted to share it with you. Be well-be beautiful-be happy.

I'm spending a lot of time figuring things out and planning for some major life changes. It's not good or bad; it just is. I've accepted that labeling the events of our lives doesn't always serve well in the emotional department. Perception is the only thing that really matters.

I was reminded today about how lucky I was that my two oldest children (now adults) were not high-strung, rebellious, down-right nasty, or any of those negative personas that make any woman reconsider her motherly throne. But that was like a million years ago.

I know this has nothing to do with women's health, wellness, or beauty, but it really touched me. I actually had tears in my eyes while watching this incredible event unfold. Check out what stole my heart...

OK, so I borrowed Journey's famous song title for this post, but please bear with me as I make a point that will change the way you see your life. Take a look at the refrain from the song that has now made a HUGE comeback thanks to that little TV show called GLEE.

Ah, those wonderful - and cursed - emotions, earning the right to compete with the most thrilling and frightening of roller-coasters. I'm not talking about the extremes that would land you a bi-polar diagnosis, no, just the ordinary ones that take you from one day to the next; the ones that may, on occasion, make you question your sanity but are benign...for the most part.

Have you ever noticed how the most significant events happen when you are not pining or asking for them? This truly incredible phenomenon is what I am grateful for this week.

Let's focus for a moment on all the campaigns that affect our lives, how they help, how they hurt, how they need to be changed. Ask yourself this: what campaign would I start if I had the chance? Really.

As far as me, I'm thankful for all of the incredible opportunities that have flown through my door as of late. Desires that I had months and even years ago are coming to pass right before my eyes.

One thing that most of you don't know about me is that I have a background in Interior Design/Decorating. It was my chosen career for many years before I surrendered fully to my calling and purpose. I still have a love for all things beautiful and for making environments healthful and blissful.

I've often wondered why some people are just naturally happy and others are chronically distraught or depression. Is there really that much difference between their circumstances to cause such a dramatic opposition? I mean, really, don't we all have good days, bad days, bills that kill, kids that hit home runs, health issues, triumphs, and tragedies?

My daughter showed me this today...so worthy of our attention. Let's be thankful for the generation of young people who will be the leaders of tomorrow.
