{weekly intention}

Visit ABCcreativity to find out more about weekly intentions and see the wonderful meditation.

According to Andrea "Setting an intention is taking time to pave the way to success, joy and dreams come true to find you throughout the week. This is not about setting goals or creating

to-do lists and working your tail off to achieve them. This is about taking some time to be quiet and still and ask "What do I need this week?" and setting an intention from there to align yourself with that."

My intention for this upcoming week is to be there as much as possible as I can for mom and dad. This is going to be a hard week for everyone and I need to prepare myself to be available. I need to focus on the fact that I am needed and get through it no matter the panic or anxiety. I need to perform.

Mental Health Monday

Lately it's as if I am running through every single emotion I can have all in one day. My moods

change at the drop of a hat. Happy one minute, sad the next. So panicky, so anxious, so afraid. I know that these emotions will even out they are just me reacting to what's going on in our lives. I just wish I felt like I had more control over my body, over my mind.

1000th POST !!!

I cannot believe that this is my 1000th post. When I started this blog back in 2007 I had never ever imagined continuing with it to the point of having 1000 posts. I must say that blogging is something that really captured my heart and soul. It something I do mostly just for me. Somewhere real that I can share thoughts, feelings, scrapbooking, photographs. Something that can show glimpses of the real me and inside my world. Over these past years of blogging I have made many friendships I dearly cherish. All because I chose to write. To share. For me blogging has been such a wonderful addition to my life. It is something i hope to continue for a long while.

1000 posts !

Beautiful Sunday
