Things that add the spice or flavor to life

This blog was inspired by my children, my pets and friends. Through years of trying to entertain children I found other families, friends and community groups to collaborate with for ideas and resources. Those who know me, know how much children, pets, nature and creativity mean to me. The little the things that add some fun and flavor to your life, like art, creative cooking, nature activities, and fun facts. I was blessed with, and extremely thankful for, many of these things in my life. My mission here is to offer ideas, and inspiration among friends and put together a network of resources, including a list of organizations that do good in our community and a way to support them.

Happy New Year !

So, another year has come and gone and new one has begun. Personally, I have been in a whirlwind of change this past year and it will continue this year. I am in the "sandwich generation" which means I have kids who still need me and aging parents who also need me. It is an interesting road to be on and a bit stressful at times.

There are several dreams, goals and projects that I am looking at and they are all exciting to me. At the moment I am exploring the possibilities of great change and taking baby steps towards what feels right. Relocating my home base is in the future and I need to decide whether I choose what is best for me or what is best for my youngest son who will still be in high school for another 3 years. That is a tough decision but one that may work itself out. Time will tell and then I will know.

For now I trust that God is leading me where I need to be and he hasn't let me down yet. Even though I don't have all the answers and the whys, I am walking in faith and will continue to do so, and count my blessings everyday. Sometimes being thankful and asking for strength is all that gets me through the day.

So my dreams, you ask , they revolve around the possibility of restoring a historic home and having my own business both online and in brick and mortar with a couple of friends. My goals involve creating a business and a place where people can thrive financially and artistically so that we are able to give back to the community and help fill a need in the lives of others. My projects come from all of the above and as I go through the process, remember that word "process", of each project I will write about here and at a new site. So stay tuned and come along on my adventure if you dare. It's sure to be interesting.....................
