This seems to be a tough time for many in my life...17 and 18 year old's making what they feel is the most important decision in their lives- college, moms struggling to find their new place in the world, lots of people switching jobs and starting new adventures. Today I challenge you all that are in so much flux....just sit and be. Take yourself out for coffee and listen to what your heart has to say. You know what is right for you. All you have to do is follow your heart. That doesn't mean that your heart is always happy. That heaviness in it is a clue that you are not on the right path. Listen to the good as well as the bad. One thing is sure, you do have the answers in your heart. And while they may not be the answers your head wants to hear, if you don't honor your heart, you can never be happy! Happy Valentines Day Friends. Love yourselves the way I love you and all will be good. ...

When my friends over at TravelingMom.com asked me to participate in a campaign sponsored by Sony about being Fearless and Inspiring I was in. This weeks theme was inspired by the show, the big C.

And when you get to the very end and her son finds the garage.....call me, and we shall cry together over a bottle of wine. It's that good. Promise! As with all campaigns, Traveling Mom provided me with some ideas for this post. One of those ideas was writing about a woman who inspires me. But when I came down to really ponder that question, I couldn't pick just one. I choose to surround myself with so many inspirational women that it is mind boggling. So, here are a few in no particular order. And I apologize in advance if I leave someone awesome off my 'list'. I hate 'lists' cause I always forget someone. But, like I said, I have too many people that inspire me to focus on just one. Above all, Mother Earth. I know, corny, but at this beautiful time of year how can one not be amazed and inspired by all this beauty? Katie Quinn-my great grandmother. ...
