Life in Transition

“If we had all the answers, then we wouldn’t need to write our own story.” Mike

Life brings changes… some good, some bad, some totally unexpected.  A year ago my plans of what my life would be like right now, are so much different than the reality of what is.  Many of us are going through [...]

Full of Faith

They can because they think they can. – Virgil

The bird that sings before dawn, the farmer who plants a seed, the entrepreneur who starts a business, the individual who dines at a restaurant, are all forms of faith. The sun will rise, the seed will grow, the business will begin, and the food will be [...]

Desperation

Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them.  - Henry David Thoreau

To despair is to give up on hope. I, admittedly, have been guilty of the crippling feelings of desperation in my life.  Desperate that I would never find love; work that would fulfill [...]

Organic Soul

I’m not sure if my fears faced me or if I faced my fears… In my youth I merrily skipped around, unaware of anything that wasn’t beautiful. I felt secure in my home with my parents, and I lived in this fairy tale world in my mind – life was good. As I became older [...]

With a little help from my friends

It”s late, and I’m tired… I’m however sitting outside of Barnes & Noble in beautiful Asheville NC in Biltmore Park Town Square.  I’m doing this because I’m in the middle of a move, I have no internet, and I realize that its been awhile since I’ve blogged, and blogging is what I love doing. This [...]

Nothing Lasts Forever

“Nothing is permanent in this wicked world—not even our troubles.”- Charlie Chaplin

When I turned 29 I worried for a whole year about turning 30.  Thirty was my scary age.  Seems kind of funny now, but I was frantic everyday for a year.  I asked myself questions like; “What have I done with my life?”  “Am [...]

Take Rest

I was talking to a friend of mine the other day and I told her how for the last two years,  I’ve kind of sequestered myself, voiding relationships and friends, until I could discover who I was without outside influences.  She laughed and said, “You know thats what they do with people when they’re committed. [...]

Fairy tales – Real or Rumor?

“‘Know thy self’ may not be the best; A pinch of self-delusion it turns out is an important ingredient in the happiness recipe.” – Eric Weiner  quote via twitter@bmccall17

Once upon a time a friend of mine posted on her facebook page, “Fairy tales don’t exist…reality does…”  Which of course prompted me (Goldilocks) to post; “I [...]

It’s not about you, It’s about me – Self Love

I think we spend too much time thinking about what another person is thinking – what’s their motive, where are they going, how do I fit in? Unfortunately I found most people either to be very self absorbed, where everything is about them, and they take, take, take; or they are givers who are self [...]

The Perfect Life = A Life You Don’t Need to Escape From

“Instead of wondering when your next vacation is, you ought to set up a life you don’t need to escape from.”  Seth Godin

I love what I am doing.  I could sit here all day long blogging, writing,  exploring places that I want to travel too, and how I am going to make it possible to [...]
