My Goals: IN ONE YEAR Learn to EAT, PRAY, LOVE ... My Way*


1) Find Health and Strength for Me and my Family (Physically, Emotionally, and Spiritually).

2) Have a Love Affair and Long-Lasting Friendship with my EC (Eternal Companion).

3) Be Available for My Children through their Triumphs and their Trials.


*As I followed Elizabeth Gilbert's journey through "Eat, Pray, Love" and now as you follow me on my journey, perhaps a world of possibilities will open up for you too. Where do you want to go? Who do you want to be? Me? I'd just like to learn to be my loving, happy self and live long and healthy enough to enjoy the outcome. And you? I encourage you to challenge yourself. What would you like to do next? What direction are you going? Our talents and uniqueness bless our world ... and someone is always watching, always following in our footsteps. My prayer is that our footsteps may always be worth following.

Day 7 - Being with God


Today I tried to meditate again for 15 minutes. I tried to picture being with God. Listening to Him talk so peaceably, so gently. Watching as others joined us to listen to His counsel. I looked around. There was green grass, no clouds. He sat among us and taught us. This was not a time for harsh words. I realized that I could feel His presence. It was warmth. It was strength. It was calm.

I decided I would like to be like Him when I grow up.

I don't know if I really meditated or not, but I felt good when I was done. I think that is a baby step. (smiles)

PS: I just bought Julie and Julia: A Year of Cooking Dangerously by Julie Powell. I am very excited about reading it. I would like to write to Julie too. She and Elizabeth have really helped me stretch my goal-setting abilities.

392 days to go.
