My sister is currently on a personal life journey to reset her life from the losses she has endured to a life of love, light, and laughter.
Anyone following me knows that I am a big proponent of love. I have even blogged about this propensity. I love LOVE. I love all things about love. I love how life seems happier and more do-able when I think from a mindset of love versus a mindset of negativity (no matter what that negativity may be - anger, jealousy, hurt, disappointment, disillusionment), when I reset my thoughts and think of love (love of oneself, love of others, love of life, etc.), I am a much happier and much more positive person. And that is my grounding state. I like being happy and thinking good about others versus the opposite, so when something happens that takes me away from this outlook, it takes time, but I am naturally pulled back to it. (I will note here that this past week has been a difficult one for me because someone, who I considered a friend, treated me very wrong - ironically via the 'holiday of love' - Valentine's Day - and affected my life view negatively. It will take some time to get back to my grounded state, but I am much better today than I was a week ago, and even feel more hopeful and strong as I write this blog).
My sister has had two failed marriages and has lost five babies to miscarriage. These, and other events, have had their mark on her. But here's the thing - my sister is a beautiful soul. There is no other way to describe her. She has such a strong light shining in her and her hope for people, for humanity as a whole, is so strong that she is taking this journey to give back to the world in the hope of resetting her life. She believes in people; she believes people can change; she believes in hard work and high ethics; she believes in self-improvement. She has the most honest and truest character of anyone I have ever met. This journey has her traveling to missionaries around the world to help others in need; she is truly risking her life by traveling alone and doing this; it is something I could have never undertaken. But this is who she is. She is strong willed and extremely trusting of the human spirit and in the universe.
Due to who my sister is, due to her beautiful soul, I wanted to sent this blog out in support of her. If any of you are interested in her story or are interested in sending her some financial support, here is her link: Reset Journey
I will note here that some people are negative towards her for asking for money to do this; they feel that they shouldn't pay for her 'vacation'. My thoughts on this negativity: 1. Anyone feeling that negative can stay away as we do not want this negativity sent towards her; and 2. I am extremely impressed that she not only has the guts to do a journey like this, but that she is that beautiful of a soul and hopeful of the human spirit to even think of doing a journey like this, let alone actually doing it. Because let me tell you folks - my dream of finding myself in a journey entails a beautiful beach, a comfy chair under a big umbrella, good food, and good books!
Sending you all love and hugs on this beautiful sunny day.

Motivational Moment:
Today's Moment is a Life’s Little LaughablesTM from my youngest daughter (and talk about another source of pure love for me - my three kiddos!).
We were getting out of the car the other day and her knee made a little cracking sound. She immediately exclaims: "I am way too young to be this old!". She is 10 years old. Love that girl!
Peace, Love, and Hugs my friends. SG
