Sara Bareilles, Ingrid Michaelson - Winter Song

The Last Word

Stopping by to say hi- fabulous weekend regardless of horrific cold and no voice. Hmmm...perhaps because of no voice ;)

Posting Songs right now seem to help me stay on here a bit, while still documenting my feelings regarding all the changes I'm facing and processing.

So here's the song of the day- ENJOY!

Ray LaMontagne - Be Here Now

Big Dreams are Coming Back My Way

The song says it all...

I'm BAAAAAAAACK!

Well, sorta. Lot's of changes for me right now, that have me focusing my energy in many different directions at once. It's a growth process, complete with growing pains of sorts that I am unable to share.

I am taking down my Positivity Blog from another source since it cost money every month, and coming back to blogger.

So look for the new, improved and totally intentional life of...

State of Gracez.

Coming soon. To a blog near you :)

Til then...

Account inACTIVE

What a sad state of gracez this is! I have been so busy with life or something like it, that I have neglected my little blog, my little space for creative thought.

Damn Facebook! Ok...I love facebook as well, but it is quite addictive.

More writing to come in the following weeks. Much to catch up on. Still no time this week to do it! Although til then I will have to return to an old template to get that obnoxious "photobucket inactive" crap off there. Not sure when I became a slave to the photobucket folks, but am assuming it had to do with an add compliance issue through my blogher network. So if the blogher folks are reading...

help! I can't comply with the three column format, as when I did it screwed up my blog.

Anyway...

More next week when I will once again have time to write on here.

Transcending Women

My sister sent this to me today, a great way to start my day along with a cup of joe, as I await my little rooster's daily morning announcement-
"Mama! Sun is UP!!!!"

Enjoy my sisters, moms, daughters, friends, Ya-Ya Stepsistas, Company of Women Writers, North Canton Newcomers, and the Old Elm Play Group mom's! I love you all and thank you for being a profound part of my life.

Happy New Year!!!!

Since the focus on a new year is happiness, thought I'd pass along this diddy. I am working on happiness within rather than trying to grab it from without. These Buddhist guys are onto something ;)

Happiness and suffering come from your own mind, not from outside. Your own mind is the cause of happiness; your own mind is the cause of suffering. To obtain happiness and pacify suffering, you have to work within your own mind.

Under Construction

I apologize for the unattractive template at the moment. I had to do some rearranging with tutorials due to requirements to keep up with my ad obligations. Laura from Blogher was very nice and helpful with a tutorial site. Unfortunately, the site didn't choose to give examples from my template so I after hunting, pecking, and cursing my way through several attempts, I had to let my fuchsia go. I am in much need of sleep now, and since the blog is once again ad friendly, I can retire and try next week. Til then, sorry for the strange golden orange color that clashes with my beautiful Buddha pic (which is completely off center but try as I might at nearly 2 am, I cannot reconcile it to change it's position. You see, I am in desperate need of template tutorials that have the exact same codes as whatever template I'm using, and darn it if none of them ever seem to.)

Argh. To be somewhat computer literate. T'is a blessing and a curse (hunt and peck.)
