harmonious balance

The only thing I love more than being affected, is affecting others.
It comes down to sharing our stories, our gifts, our blessings and our challenges.
Listening to others, learning and growing.
Doing your best and then simply letting go.

peace & God bless

permalink Sunday Morning Message - “A great moment in time…”
A grand moment in my life has just happened.
2008, was one of my most challenging years, in many ways.
2009 was tougher than 2008. It challenged me beyond any imagination; my fears, failures & life challenges were boldly present.
I prayed more than I ever have. Worked out consistently. Focused on my priorities: God, Family, Career (Passion).
I continued to do my best although it felt like consistent failure.
I continued to fight the fight. Effort is always rewarded.
Walk by faith, not by sight. I tried so very hard to remember.
In December my year turned around. 
It is not how you start, it is how you finish.
For six weeks I carried the heaviest stone I have had to carry. A challenge I deemed myself worthy of. 
Part of the test was from the past, part the present and part the future.
This past weekend I set that stone down. My reward? Best moment ever.
Six years ago, searching for peace, I balanced a stone on the beach and took a picture of it. 
There was no looking forward. I just was.
I am proud. That is not easy for me to say. But, “I am” (a tattoo I got a few years back).
Forty frames, forty found art fotos, over 200 hours. One Spa.
Just got back from Vegas.
Details & photos to follow.
Thank you for your support and for allowing me to share my path with you all ;-)
A great moment in time…
