Following our BLISS!

Hello All! It's been a while, but I'm back...and glad to be! Ahh...Spring is definitely taunting us with her sultry weather already...albeit, a bit early...but welcome none the less. There is something so wonderful about Spring in New England, isn't there? After a few cold, snowy months, we are raring to get out there and begin anew...Yes? What shall we begin anew? I have had a wonderful winter, however, getting reacquainted with many people, things, but mostly myself. I have discovered my identity, for so, so many years, 25 to be exact, has been wrapped up in my store....really wrapped up...eating, breathing, sleeping, and of course doing....everything it took to keep the store up and running....WHEW....and what I have come up with is this....As much as I have loved being the chief cook and hanger shuffler of my delightful little shop, it was time to make a much needed change...and change I have made.

Closing the shop right before the 2 busiest months was something! I actually got to enjoy the holidays from a whole new perspective. And...this is why I have decided to pick back up on my blog...There is so much to share...so much to share!

I am very busy with a few different things; all of which are wonderful! My teaching, writing, and Trunk Shows encompass most of my time...and surprisingly enough, I really don't know how I was doing IT all, before I closed!

As some of you may know, I have been happily writing my column for more than 3 years, now and some of my readership have been asking me to teach a group that echoes my column...so that's what I am doing! I call it: "Girls Like Us"...a Group! We are into our second week and suffice it to say, it is a good thing....

I am also very involved with teaching my "Image Awareness" classes to girls from 11-16 in both schools and camps all over the Greater Boston and Metro-West areas....very rewarding.

My cookbook project is literally the "icing on the cake"...totally inter-meshed with everything I talk about in my column...living a holistic lifestyle, creating our best lives! It's so important.

So...that brings me to the theme of this particular posting...What jazzes YOU? What would it take to really come up with something that would make you follow it to the ends of the earth...or at least the end of your street? Let's think about this...and hopefully some of you will write back and let me know how much this means to you....I think the time is ripe for a special kind of springtime awareness to blossom....I look forward to hearing from you!
