Day 366 ~ One Year !

Yes... yesterday was my 365th day in a row that I have blogged.  

However... this was a Leap Year... therefore... tomorrow is my actual one year anniversary... or rather... One year ago tomorrow I set out on my journey.  

So.. having today be my closing post is perfect.  More on that at the end of my post.

Wow!!  What an adventure!!  So many times I have shared with  you that I am gaining so much from this journey.  

Reminding you again... that this was to be like a "handbook" of sorts on me for my children, family and friends; a memoir if you will... in hopes that my sharing my life would help another with their's.

I have had ups this year, as well as downs... but as I sit here and look back... this has been the best year I have given myself!  For something that was meant for others... it has turned out to be such a HUGE part of my life.

I had literally cried with you... laughed with you... ached with you... and healed with you!  ... now I would be lost without you... life just would not be the same.

Am I done?

I really don't think so!  How can I be?  My life isn't perfect by any means... but... writing this blog night after night... at first anxiously awaiting the moment I would sit with my lap top... then there were some nights that I actually forced myself to share [only because I was tired]... other nights where I actually struggled with my thoughts...

All in all... I would not trade my experience with anything!

So as I have anticipated this moment for a while... wondering how I was going to continue my blogging... if I was going to do a sequel to this blog or just continue on...

I have started other blogs... I have a health-lifestyle blog {My LifeStyle ReDesign}... and I also have my gratitude blog {Humble Gratitude}... and my website I created which all my creations can be found {Carla Barilá Karam}... 

Will I keep my baby {this blog} going?  I don't know?  I almost want to keep going to see how long I can keep it up.  After all, what harm can it pose?

I honestly do not have the answer right at this particular moment.  But what I do know is that I am not going to stop blogging any time soon.  BIG SMILE!

Glory lies in the attempt to reach one's goal and not in reaching it.  ~Mahatma Gandhi 

Happiness is not a goal; it is a by-product.  ~Eleanor Roosevelt

Peace...

Day 108 ~ Food for Thought...

Hunger is not only a feeling in your stomach...

When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.         ~  Henry Ford

In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.                    ~  Albert Einstein 

Just don't give up trying to do what you really want to do.  Where there is love and inspiration, I don't think you can go wrong.

~  Ella Fitzgerald 

Our deepest wishes are whispers of our authentic selves.  We must learn to respect them.  We must learn to listen.  

~  Sarah Ban Breathnach

I could not, at any age,  be content to take my place by the fireside and simply look on.  Life was meant to be lived.  Curiosity must be kept alive.  One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.

~  Eleanor Roosevelt

The more anger towards the past you carry in your heart, the less capable you are of loving in the present.   ~  Barbara De Angelis 

The minute you settle for less than you deserve, you get even less than you settled for.   ~  Maureen Dowd 

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. 

 ~  Eleanor Roosevelt

There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.   

~  Maya Angelou 

If you want the rainbow, you've got to put up with the rain.  

~ Dolly Parton

Success is getting what you want;  happiness is wanting what you get.   ~  Ingrid Bergman

You can only become truly accomplished at something you love.  Don't make money your goal.  Instead, pursue the things you love doing, and then do them so well that people can't take their eyes off you.   

~  Maya Angelou 

Sometimes a different point of view, whether you stumble upon it, or have been searching for the words all your life... can light a light in your soul that satisfies a hunger for loving life that you never thought possible.   
~ Carla Barilá Karam

I sincerely hope that your hunger was satisfied as well!

Mine certainly was!

Blessings to all!!
