Brushing off the dust...

2009 was a long time ago!  That was the last time I posted here.  Yet, I still remain convicted that a simple life of gratitude is key, and as I continue forward on my journey, I'm compelled to share some of what I am grateful for!  I seem to have more and more each day to add to my list!

One year ago, I was blessed to join Origami Owl.  In fact, I traveled to Nashville for the SOAR event, and Darlene Santore, their Chief Performance Officer gave a truly inspiring talk that has stuck with me to this day differentiating between setting goals and living with intention. She explained that setting a goal is to lose weight.  The intention is to be healthy.  Setting a goal is to have O2 parties.  Intention is to bring joy to others.

One year ago, I set my intention for 2013 as bringing and sharing joy with others.  Some days I was successful.  Others, not so much.  But, I kept my eye on that intention as I worked my way through the year!  And now I find myself in 2014, and thinking about how to continue to carry that intention forward but build on it at the same time!

This past year I have been extremely fortunate to find Young Living Essential Oils and Drops of Hope, and have now found a way to marry the intention of sharing joy with my love of health, wellness, nature, and learning.  I am truly at the beginning of this journey, but I am so excited to know that there is an entire disciple to learn and I can truly make a difference!

It is my hope to share my bits and pieces here of all things that bring joy...all of which I am incredibly grateful for!
