"Remember... When we explore our creativity. when we listen to our creative voices. when we try something new. when we stretch ourselves. when we are full of bliss. when we share our happiness. when we reach out to others. when we seek to tell our story. when we grow. when we are brave. when we make time for ourselves. when we accept the heartache. when we learn from our mistakes. when we let ourselves shine. when we laugh out loud. when we let love in. when we REMEMBER to search with in ourselves that's when you find YOU"

Goddess Guidance
I read the guidebook and have listened to the mediation for the second time tonight. Tonight was special, though, because i listened to it with my 2 little minigoddesses 8 and 5 yrs old. We cried together over our wise old goddess holding our hands. Thank you . it was so moving. Tomorrow, me and my little angels are going to the beach to create our projects. We each have our ideas about the art we will create, which we envisioned from your meditation.
You are wise beyond your years. You are an old crone in a young body. You are so blessed and gifted. You gave me the words that I didn't know how to say to my darling little girls. i cannot thank you enough. Also, I met my old woman self for the first time in my life. Thank you for introducing us. She is beautiful and confident and peaceful. She is more than I have ever imagined. Words cannot describe.
Peace and blessings to you, Goddess Leonie.
Thank you for your gifts.
Love Jillian

I love being a PTA mom!
This is my very first editorial for the elementary school newspaper. A little nervous to be honest in print, but, here goes!
If you had asked me when I was just a girl in Texas,"Will you join the PTA when you are a mother?" Most likely, I would NOT have responded enthusiastically.
PTA was pretty much snub-nosed in my home. My mother, Linda never had a chance to exert her own independence before I was born. She married young, 22 yrs old, and felt the need to exhume her rebellious, independent spirit at the same time as me...when I was in my early teens and she in her late 30's.
Oh, yes, it was so fun growing up in my house!
Today, I am 37. I am the mother of 2 tiny, amazing beings, Olivia (3rd grade) and Samantha (Kindergarten) I like to wear frilly, embellished aprons when I cook, and I wish I had time to scrapbook every single family memory.
Sometimes I find myself dreaming that we live on a farm with no tv, phone, internet, video games, materialism, etc....so we could just bake, make art, play in nature, giggle and smell like patchouli all day long.
Back to reality ...of course I enjoy material things. I just feel this longing and need to be part of the bigger picture, the more simpler picture, for those 2 small girls that my husband and I brought into this world.
I have enjoyed this happy, joyous, protected land of -----Elementary for the past 3 years. I want it to continue. I want it to be even better than it has been. Can you blame me? You love it here, too, don't you?
This newspaper is the place where your kids can publish their haikus, short stories and paintings. Proud moms, PLEASE send me your photos and article ideas
Come to the ------paper to find out what is going on and how to get involved.
Come to the next PTA meeting, share your amazing talents and gifts with our community.
You wont regret it, and your kids will love you for it.
Thank you for letting me share this school year with you, and for putting up with my soapbox!
Do you have something to say?
Email me!
I dare you.
