Well hello everyone! I am delighted to write today and express my feelings and share what I am going through. I have been trying to get in touch with my spirituality. I have not been in touch with spirituality in most of my life. I can't go into the long story about why but I can say I am now moving on from "my story". I have met a friend who has opened my eyes to all the possibilities of having peace and living the life I should and not just going through the motions of life. I do believe now I am finally getting back to some sense of peace in my heart and mind. I have a long way to go but at least I am "working towards love and light" . My friend says we have to be open and willing to receive this love and light. I am definitely ready now and feel like I am making good progress. I keep telling her I have to take baby steps lol. Well it is true because if I go to fast I will not take it all in and grow. I started painting when I decided that I needed some form of meditation. it seemed to relax me when I was focused on one thing. One day I was invited to a jewelry party. The party inspired me to start making jewelry for myself. The rest is my history so far ...
I have been watching some of Oprah's life classes and they bring me wonderful inspiration. She started one of her shows by saying we all should shrive to live the life we were meant to live. It took me so long to find out the life I want. I am still not there but now I can say I am working on it. :).
Her Life Classes show is really cool and just reminds you of the tools you can use for making your life better. It's about knowing yourself and doing what you love or finding your passion. I think that is our ultimate goal in life. I am also leaning to live in the moment. It really is important to stay in the moment. If you are constantly living in the past or future you will never be there in the present. I really need to practice this since I spend a lot of time worrying about the future and then sometimes dwelling on the past. I just have to realize that the universe will provide for me. I also realize now that dwelling on the past just causes me stress and hurt. I can't change the past. Most people would say this is obvious but I really have to remind myself. I guess it is hard for me to let things go but I am working on how to change my behavior. I started writing a gratitude journal. This journal helps me remember everyday that I am grateful for living and grateful for so many other things in my life.
No matter how bad a day I have had writing in this journal reminds me at the end of the day that I am better off than I think. So I could go on but I am sure you get the idea. I am hoping after another show I will be inspired to write more.
I have put in links for the OWN network down below.

I have often tried many different things and seem to have way to many hobbies lol. I think I just love to create! Create anything crafty and unique. I have recently been approved to teach jewelry at Jo-Ann's Fabrics and Crafts Store. (Near Ridgmar Mall in Fort Wort, TX)
So I am so excited to finally get a job I will enjoy. I really can't believe it's happening, well wait yes I can believe it. lol. I am happy that I waited it out and now I am embarking on a new chapter in my life. I am not sure if teaching is my calling. I know I have enjoyed teaching 3 friends of mine. I know that some day I will find my true calling. I do really enjoy designing jewelry. I think that is the thing right now that brings me the most joy. I am discovering that I am more drawn to multi-media projects. I recently started a mini photo album for my sister and it is coming along nicely. I just feel so good when I create art. :) . I do like trying new things. Well I think I have said enough for now hee hee Happy Creating!!
Everyone has a calling. Oprah says that we all have a calling and when we find it we are our true selves. Surround yourself with people who can lead you to the path of your calling.
Be Inspired Everyday Challenge
I wanted to challenge my self and try to find something everyday that inspires me. I would take that inspiration and create something or maybe just write in my journal. The point is to have some form of meditation everyday and work towards inner peace.
Ok folks get inspired and do something fun or make something
