Greetings All

Time sure does fly by and life can change in an instant. I remind myself everyday, life is a gift and I never take it for granted.

I love taking my walk everyday. Sara, my little cocker spaniel, loves walks even more then I. Together we walk around the lake, or through the golf course, or in one of county or state parks that are close by. Many days my husband joins us. When walking though the wooded areas, I am living in the NOW. My mind is totally clear of thought; sometimes I pray, sometimes I hum. This is my living in the moment. The joy within overwhelms me with emotions. I always return with a smile on my face and a feeling of calm within.

Writing Tree Spirited Woman has changed my life. I have met many wonderful people. Over the past few years I have been involved with Spirited Woman and most recently the ceremony of the scarf. Nancy Mills, the founder of Spirited Woman's website, has connected women from around the world by finding and selling us unique, beautiful scarves. I have been a part of two ceremonies, both extremely meaningful. I wrap the scarf around me sometimes when I work at my computer, smiling knowing there is another woman across the world wearing the same scarf and in that way, we are connected. That is how I feel about you who take time to read about who I am. There is a connection that has been made. Thank you.

Today, may you treasure the gift of life and share your positive attitude with everyone you encounter.

God's Peace To All,

Colleen

Celebrating Life

Cheers!
