Hello, Beautiful!!!

This is the excerpt for your very first post.

I’m Kathleen.

I created this site for two simple reasons:

  • To celebrate All Things Positive
  • To engage vibrantly with the Present Moment

And then there’s also my Secret Third Reason. This website is a place of positivity, so I’m only going to say this “negative thing” one time: My Secret Third Reason is to create more balance between the positive and the negative. To offset the sad stories, the tragedies, the horrible things that are happening in our world at the end of 2016. Lately, I have found myself reeling in absolute disbelief that this is reality: This is the world in which those of us who are parents are raising our children. It’s terrifying to me, to think that this is the world that my beautiful child–that YOUR beautiful children are inheriting.

So I’m going to attempt to change that.

The present moment is like a firefly on a sticky summer night. We cup it, and release it, and then it’s gone. There are so many small but powerful present moments: Let’s capture them! My aim is to create a virtual place where we can all dance together and be amazed. Quieted. Overjoyed. Balanced back to a mindset of peace by the love and wonder of the present moment.

Come visit as often as you can. Help me celebrate Now. Help me remind those who are bitter, angry, sad, lost that there’s still hope, and good things, and WONDERFUL STORIES, real stories, in this world of ours.

Help me create a loving space of positivity, where we can shine. Tell our stories. Honor those we love. Give a nod to someone who needs it and deserves it. Sing with conviction and clarity to the unsung. Tell funny, poignant stories that remind us: Life is a series of small moments: Micromoments, even. We absolutely cannot let it pass us by! Let’s use this site to tell our stories, to mine the micromoments. To preserve them. I’ll start.

I’m so excited to start telling you my stories and sharing what’s on my mind. And I hope that, in time, some of you will let me share yours.

  3. This is awesomely exciting! I honestly can’t think of anyone more fit to be blogging about life! In the time I’ve know you professionally (which has turned into a great friendship), I can say that I’ve grown in so many areas. The wisdom, courage, boldness, and passion for life that I have gained through my connection to you has been far more appreciated than I could begin to tell you. So I have to admit that I’m one of those people who will be patiently waiting for the e-mail notification that you’ve posted a new blog. 😀 I’m very proud of you and hope this opens some new, fun doors for you to not only be a blessing to others, but for us to return the favor and somehow, be a blessing to you too!
