Making Life Rock

Remember when you were waiting on that special guy to pop the question or expecting your first child? Can you recall dreaming or even visualizing these important events when you were a teen or even a young girl? Through hope we actually begin to form our lives from the beginning.

I don't know if you've noticed, but women are shifting into higher gears and focusing more on life goals and dreams. This may be a worldwide trend amongst humans in general; however, I feel a distinct feminine energy surrounding this front of powerful changes.

Our minds process millions of thoughts; we are multi-taskers and usually take on way too much. Do you feel spread too thin to be there for yourself, your children, your partner? I know I do. A tool I have found to help is meditation.

Hi, Ladies! I need to be very brief today. I am helping a good friend with a big grand opening of her swanky salon. Between the shopping, decorating, getting my hair done, taking care of the Missy Moo (toddler girl), I am spread a little thin today. So, I wanted to share one short thing that makes me feel fortunate this fine Friday morning.

Alex Wrekk started roasting her own coffee in 2005 for herself. It wasn't long until those around her took notice of her obvious gift for making a mean bean that could stand up to the best out there. Living in the Northwest, Alex knows the competition well.

Hey, I just wanted to let everyone know about a terrific women's online magazine called Time Finders. I have just joined the magazine as a new contributing author. If you get a chance, please check out this wonderful publication and my first article, Autumn: A Sentimental Journey. Let me know what you think of it.

In case you didn't know, we are electrical beings. Yes, we have enough power running through our bodies to put the electric companies out of business, if that was our purpose. But, thankfully, its not.

I've known some women who are innately simple and others who are the polar opposite...complicated. I, myself, am somewhere in the middle. I like challenge, but when things get too hard, I tend to drop activities like the proverbial hot potato.

You might have noticed that I'm on a rather organic/all-natural product kick right now. On my quest for some new personal care products that pass my standards, I discovered Aroma Artisan at Etsy, a company that sells exactly what I was looking for - cold process soaps and unique essential oils with custom fragrances.

It saddened me every time I saw one of Patrick Swayze's photos on the cover of a magazine in the grocery. Though I'm sure that he didn't want his fans to feel sorry for him, it was hard to see such a vital, handsome man with a lively career in film languish in such a way.

Liberation: Posing Nude, Shaving Your Head, and Skinny Dipping What makes a woman feel free? Is it dancing to her favorite tunes while no one is looking or driving down a country road at 75 MPH (that one might be more of a man thing)? Regardless of "what" makes us feel free, we need to at least try to break out of stale routines and inhibitions occasionally.

What if you had no way to reach family or friends; what if you couldn’t get where you needed to be; and what if you …

I have found that when stuck in a rut (a muddy ditch with monsters that grab you and don't let go) if I do anything different than I have the past fifty times, I get a new result.

Sitting on the deck with a cup of quality tea, a good book, and a cool September breeze in my face is what I call a perfect way to spend a few moments of peace. There is truly something calming about taking in the scent of a hot beverage that you know is good for you.
