"THERE IS NO WAY TO HAPPINESS, HAPPINESS IS THE WAY."-Wayne Dyer

THE BEGINNING..is now

I find myself thinking, writing, absorbing, reflecting, projecting, breathing and loving to experience the most this world can offer in each minute of the day; I find myself awake for the first time in my life and I need to share this experience thus far and the place in which it will travel... would you like to join me in this beautiful awakening?

I dedicate this blog to:

<3 My family, my loving children, Cecilia and Jack and puppy Grizzly, who remind me and teach me a new level of patience I never even knew existed... to take the time to love and be patient. Children are our greatest sources of energy. Being a parent is not only an honor, it is a privilege. I vow to give them my best each day and each moment. My children have been my greatest teachers of all time. Thank you for the depths of my being to for your guidance in making me the best version of myself.

<3 My wonderful husband and father to our children, you help keep the world bright with your humor, smile, love and laughter. Watching you interact with our children warms my soul in more ways than one. I vow to continue to work together as a team with you and to constantly stand in your corner as your biggest fan. We are a great team when we work together. I love you, Bobby.

<3 Our entire family, you all have been incredible sources of support and love to our family in more ways than we could ever have imagined. Your listening ears, your unconditional love towards, Bobby, our children and I are one of the many blessings I thank God for each day.

<3 My outstanding therapist, without your empathy, your endless amount of love and support, I would never have healed the sad child within myself...the main road block I never realized that needed to be taken care in order to exude the love and patience I sought within myself for my children. Your knowledge, thoughts, coping skills, beliefs will make a fine book one day! My deepest appreciation to you.

<3 Our friends, we all live separate lives which are different journeys, please know that once you have entered my heart you will live there forever.

<3 All of the people who take the time to be kind, smile at one another, take a moment of time to share thanks, give off sunshine through random acts of kindness and love. A friend of mine shared the phrase, "The light in me salutes and shares the light in you" which has resonated within every ounce of my being... our bright sunshine souls feed off of one another... find the time to keep listening to the Divine through meditation and reflection and help continue to makes the time we have here beautiful and meaning ful...finding and naming your happy place is the best way to start...

<3 Wayne Dyer, has been shaping each of my days with his guidance and the exact words of "synchronicity"-- "meaningful coincidences"-- (first explained by Carl Jung) that is needed to continue on this path of the life I wish to fulfill ... Wayne has helped me learn each day how to separate the "ego" so that there is room for the Divine...the source of all our being. I will continue to be your student through all of the magical pieces of educational treasures you have placed and left for this world. I also would like to give an air high five to PBS for being the most "altruistic stage" to help people like Wayne spread their message.

<3 Karen Noe: Thank you for being a source of love, comfort and guidance for me. I will forever be grateful for your spirit, love and light. Angel blessings to you my friend!
