No time like the present

"Blessings on your eyes and on your children. Blessings on the ground beneath you. Where ever you walk, I go with you." The Red Tent~Anita Diamant

There is no time like the present, so they say.  I'm still not sure who 'they' are, but I'm pretty sure I agree with them.  Since the only moment we ever truly have is the one we are living right now, it makes sense. So here I am, fingers quaking...embarking on my first ever blog.  

I wanted to blog about something important, something interesting, even something - profound. Since I couldn't come up with a topic worthy of any of those descriptions during my hectic days as a mom,  wife,  daughter and public servant, I have decided to keep it simple and share some of my favorite quotes and passages form all different places that mean something to me, and maybe they mean something to you too.  (...and then maybe we can be connected in some special and amazing way, and we can share titles of our favorite books and photos of our kids, and then meet in Las Vegas for a book festival or something...but wait, I am getting ahead of myself...)

The quote above is from one of favorite books of all time.  I can't even really put into words why I love this quote so much, which explains why Anita is a best selling author and I'm not.  I just think it sums up all the goodness you want to for people, in all that they see, in where they are now, and in their future. And that people should know that love will follow them where ever they go (not in a creepy stalker way, but in a your-are-always-in-my-heart kind of way!). I think everyone should use this as a greeting and farewell, sort of a long-winded Aloha (which I thinks means welcome, good-bye and love).

So, Blessings on your eyes, and on your children. Blessings on the ground beneath you...
