 "My purpose is to find joy and follow my bliss." This is the quote that inspires me most and helps me put each day into perspective. Like you, what brings me joy and makes me feel blissful is constantly changing. I have dreams that I'm still longing to fulfill and getting there isn't a prescribed formula but I'm a person who requires a bit of structure and to be surrounded by inspiring guidance, reminders of what I value, and what I'm working towards.
 I hope that you and those you care about are healthy and happy. All over the world, people are spending more time than ever in their homes due to the current situation. As such, people have had to adapt portions of their homes into makeshift offices.
 The beachfront condo that we rented in 2012 in St. Thomas was our first experience in the Caribbean. We have returned to a different island every year since.

If you're coming up blank, think about the things you hear people say about you. What have people thanked you for? How do they describe you? How do you describe yourself? How do you want to be? What do you want more of in your life?  I'm taking so much comfort in reading a book that belonged to my husband's late aunt. I love believing that she touched these very pages I'm touching and felt inspired by the very words I'm reading. We miss you Aunt Lor.

We create and contribute in our own way. We are inspired and motivated differently. We have individual needs for comfort and nurturing.
