A blog about finding balance in your life, connecting with who you are, and creating a lifestyle where you wake up each morning eagerly anticipating the day ahead.
“The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own.
No apologies or excuses.
No one to lean on, rely on, blame.
The gift is yours – it is an amazing journey –
and you alone are responsible for the quality of it.
This is the day your life really begins.”
–Bob Moawad

Waltraud, it is just a simple feverfew. I have these ball type feverfews in yellow and white.

This is a great quote but it is not easy to do what the quote says. I need to have an honest look at the way I live my life and the person I am. I pray that I will have the courage to do that. Your site inspires me daily. I wish I knew people like you in real life.
