2010

I haven't written anything for a long time because I have been very bogged down with work and family life and by the time I remember to journal I'm too tired to turn the computer on. Then I remembered that I keep this journal so that one day I can give it to Sloane and she will know how much I love her and be reminded of all the crazy things we ahve done together.

My Motto for 2010: I gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which I really stop to look fear in the face. I must do the things I think I cannot do... It is better to try and fail than fail to try.




This is the mantra I keep running through my mind right now. There have been a lot of major developments in our lives and while I take the time to figure out which path to take, I know that if I listen to my heart, the spirit and remind myself of my motto I can accomplish anything.





Lately I've been working on the house and it has been such a hoot to have Sloane as my sidekick. Like me she loves to get her hands dirty and has no fear when it comes diving headfirst into a project. So far we have tiled the backsplash in the kitchen, removed old carpet and installed a new floor in the basement. Next we will be re-tiling the bathroom. I can hardly wait for it to be warm outside, because I have big plans for the back yard too. I want to build a little yoga deck where each morning I can greet the the day with a sun salutation and honor all my blessings.
