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.

311 Days to Go - God, Help Me Now


I have spent a very intense two weeks with one of my married children who is out of state, loving and supporting her through some of her difficult challenges. Leaving her family doing well, I returned to my own trials. My thoughts on the matter: God has never let us down before, and I don't think He's like that. We have enjoyed way too many blessings in our lives to doubt His presence or His love for us. My plea upon returning home: God, I try always to do what you have asked of me. Since the pathway I am now on was given to me by You, Please God help Me Now. With that prayer, interesting thoughts have come to my mind. Alternative ways of looking at my situation which brought with them strength and courage . . . and opportunity.

God, thank you for answering our prayers. May we always be willing to ask and may our minds always be open to listening.
