Relationship Building

Here’s Something To Feel Good About!

What matters most to me in my life are my key relationships. While I do connect on facebook, I consider it fun but rather superficial. I want and need to connect regularly on a deeper emotional level with a much smaller group of intimate friends and family members. I regard these people as my heartbook vs my facebook.

How about you? I would love to know your feeling about facebook, and if you would be interested in participating to easily connect online to those who mean the most to you to create your own heartbook.

Pajama Parties


Here’s Something To Feel Good About!

Why did we ever stop having pajama parties? Remember those days, the giggles, the stories, the junk food and the endless hours of silly, bubbly, meaningless conversation? I say we reinstate them. We need to gather a group of women friends and create a ritual of special dates put aside for just that kind of silliness.

My life has become far too serious and I am yearning for a good old-fashioned sleep over. Maybe we won’t stay up all night this time. Perhaps we will have light popcorn and healthy snacks instead of some of the old favorites. What we will have is the laughter and the spontaneity and most of all the camaraderie. I need that, don’t you?

Write to me and let me know your thoughts on having pajama parties at any age.

Friends For Life

Shelly-&-me-BLOGscan0002

Here’s Something To Feel Good About!

We met when we were just 4 years old and have remained best friends all our lives. Though miles separate us; Shelley lives in Florida and I live in California, we know that no matter what, we are just a heartbeat away.

I am truly blessed to have many friends, but my friendship with Shelley is one I can count on to last our lifetime. We are friends for life, supporting each other, comforting each other and encouraging the best in each other.

There are not many things in life I can count on, but knowing that my best friend is always in my corner is a priceless gift.

My tribute to Shelley is a HandPrints On My Heart® story called Friends For Life. You can read the link to that story.

Share your story about your best friend. Tell us how your relationship has changed your life and what makes your Friend For Life so special to you.

I love to be around passionate people. They radiate a kind of energy that is magnetic, authentic and vibrant. I ask myself this question every day. What is it that I desire and how can I ignite that spark to bring passion to everything that I do? Even if my life is not yet what I imagine it will be, I know I am doing all I can and becoming all I can be, to walk toward the life I desire. I am living my daily life so that in the end I will have no regrets about the precious life I have lived.

Many people are sleep walking through their lives, living under the illusion that their time here is unlimited. Are you one of those people, or are you taking steps to live the life you imagine for yourself? It’s never too late to explore new possibilities, create new dreams, set new goals, and make the most of your wild and precious life!

Sharing Gifts

Here’s Something To Feel Good About Today!

"The purpose of life is to discover your gift. The  meaning of life is to give your gift away." David Viscott

The meaning of life is to give your gift away.”

Because it came naturally to me, I thought most people could draw and paint if they wanted to. It surprised me to learn that not everyone was an artist. Still more amazing where the many gifts I recognized in others, that were foreign to me.

I have been blessed to have had several champions in my corner; people who have recognized, applauded and encouraged me to use my gifts. We all need that; we all have the ability to be that for someone else. While each of us is born with innate gifts, the magic happens when we share them with one another.

Are you aware of your special gifts, and are you sharing them? Tell us about someone who has supported and encouraged you to maximize your gifts.
