Do life's lessons ever really end? Even now I continue to learn, experiencing things that I never have before, in part because I have never lived in this moment before. The other part comes from those around me, who, on a daily basis, live their out their own lives. With each day, life changes, and as it does, new insights come. Or so I hope...
Because the challenges of the last few weeks, mostly centerred around my youngest daughter--half a world away, alone and lonely in spite of so many who love her--I've come to appreciate my own supporters, even as I and my husband make every attempt to support her from a distance. Those who know me, or who know my daughter, understand my own deep sorrow. Yet, the burden gets lifted a bit in others' attempts to share in that very sorrow.
Today, there is light. Today, there is hope. Not every day will be like this one, perhaps, but it is enough for now. So many thanks to those whose offer of support and friendship shore me up and strengthen me. Your care and concern are much needed and most appreciated.

Quote of the Day
Genius -- the ability to produce fantastic amounts of equally fantastic bullshit that all makes perfect sense. - Jason Zebehazy
Power is a Choice
We look forward to the time when the Power of Love will replace the Love of Power. Then our world will know the blessings of Peace. - William E. Gladstone
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has. - Margaret Mead
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. - Marianne Williamson

About Me
- Soulsearcher
- Married to Terry, I am the mother of three wonderful, grown children. With each passing year, we become better friends. I enjoy my two young granddaughters and my new grandson born in July of 2008.My only wish is that my children and grandchildren lived in the area and I could see them all more often. I hope that visitors to this page will enjoy some of my reflections about my family, my life and just some of the made up stories.

Thank goodness for a new day! The long dark nights last way too long sometimes, and I find myself drowning in negativity that serves no purpose in daylight. With the dawn comes new hope and a chance for change. I hope your family is okay and that you find peace.
