The Journey Begins!

Today is the first day of the rest of my life...Is that a good thing? We will find out through this year. Have you ever wondered if how you've spent your life, up to this point, in a way that has encompassed the value of yourself and others? Were those intentions that you had begun with realized? I ask myself, "Where was I going to be in the journey of life at 49 years old anyway?" "In terms of family, self, and spirit am I even sure I know where I am supposed to be?" Here's what I had hoped for and dreamed of. I had hoped to adopt a little girl from China, to have had my first book written and published, to be an accomplished mother, journalist, figures skater, coach, and friend. I had wished to have mastered the subtle nuances of femininity and womanhood, but most of all; I had hoped to touch lives of others in such a profound way that, what remained was the fingerprint of God's love upon their hearts. How am I doing on this journe? Well, I have decided to explore the passage of my 49th year while on the expedition of a lifetime moving towards my 50th year. I will blog events that matter to me most for next full year. Follow me as I contemplate what I have accomplished, what I have yet to accomplish and let you into the hidden places of my heart.
