What's this all about?

This blog is my attempt to be an encouragement to all women who want to find peace, joy, and fullfillment on this big planet we call Earth. A big task I know, and since it is impossible to lead anyone to a place where you are not, I can honestly say I have found peace, joy, fullfillment and power in my own life after decades of searching. I believe it is important to let women know that it is possible to live with these attributes inside us no matter what life's circumstances are on the outside. So, please let me begin by welcoming you to a place of caring and sharing. The only thing I ask of those who will comment on my posts is that you be respectful to me as a human being. If you're views are different than my own, that's okay, and I am prepared to discuss differences with dignity and respect. My hope is that this blog will become part of your regular reading. Especially when you need a boost in morale, encourage to keep on keeping on, or simply to know that there is someone in this world who does care and has lived through a lot of tough times, made stupid decisions and smart ones, and is compassionate to the issues women face in today's world. Welcome!
