New Year... New Canvas...Let's Paint!


Two days ago my "2010 canvas" was completed...

It is forever displayed in my heart and soul as a bitter-sweet cornucopia of color...

Fences were mended with my youngest daughter...
She came home and went back to college!

My brother got divorced... and I lost a good friend.

Insight was gained to help my sons' well being...
My husband and I have learned to invest in gently "molding" them every day!

I found a professional position that seems to be a great fit for me, my health and my family...

I bought a wedding gown for my first born baby girl!
I watched the same daughter graduate college, turn 21, and start her graduate education...

My grandmother... one of the dearest women in my life...left this world.
I was blessed to spend the last 2.5 weeks of my father's life with him...with my stepmother...and with my siblings...as dad made his way to meet grandma "on the other side".

Yesterday began the mental mulling over how 2011 should look????
What are my ideas...resolutions...hopes???

In one day:
-The OWN (Oprah Winfrey Network)Launched
-My Brother Eloped and got re-married
-HGTV unveiled the new Stowe Vermont Dream Home to be won by some lucky contestant
The world isn't "hinged" on my thoughts..feelings..plans..financial status..or health...

For me...I think 2011 will be about changing my perspective.

Now that I am beginning to understand the unique requirements of my individual health situation...I want to maximize my wellness potential by developing better mind/body health habits...food...nature...socialization...exercise/yoga...and meditation/prayer...

My two main foci... my mantra...

Enlightenment
and
Contentment

I wish to let go of the need to be "in control"
I seek to be led by letting go and opening my heart...mind and soul
I hope to find enlightenment...true purpose in this life

I wish to fully appreciate the blessings in life
I seek to change my perception
I hope to find contentment...true appreciation for the gifts in life

Love and Kindness are the only molecules that can permeate the membrane between this world and the one I hope to transcend to!

Emotional Catharsis

Life Unscripted As previously mentioned we recently spent a few weeks in my hometown area related to my oldest daughter's wedding. The wedding day came and went without issue. My baby girl was a beautiful bride and is now a happy Mrs.to her Mr.. The second week of our time there was scheduled as "down time"... time to relax and enjoy visiting with friends and family. One day that second week I awoke feeling the need to re-connect with my past; to settle emotional "loose strings"; to change somethings about my life. We had traveled home in my husband's old manual stick shift F150 truck... kayak on top... back packed full of everything but the kitchen sink. I don't drive his truck as well as I should to go out on my own for the day, besides a good insightful partner would probably make my journey a little easier. I called my step-mom and she said she would be right over and take me wherever I needed to go. As I got ready to go my husband and my boys were ...

Long Time No Post

Life has been a whirlwind of activity, work, travel, family events and motion. While I embrace life in forward motion it is a special jewel when a moment of calm presents itself. So many people are caught in a whirlwind of, "life in motion" these days... As I talk with friends and family members my prayer list grows ever longer and my spirit can struggle to "focus on the positive"... In my heart I truly believe that focusing on the positive and working through the challenges is the best way to navigate this life. I have so very much that I am grateful for... so many blessings... God will help manage the rest:-)
