New Discovery

I just found this site Latter-day Homeschoolers.  It looks like its going to have a lot of wonderful resources to explore.  Im looking forward to curling up and reading all the different posts.  They are having a give away and one of the items is an e-book called Discover the Joys of Easter I was just looking at the book and it looks really neat.  Discover the Joys of Easter has some wonderful looking recipes of foods from other countries and what they make for their Easter Celebrations. I also liked how it talked about the passover, I was just reading about that with the children for our family devotional.   I am really thinking about getting this e-book.   I love books about Celebrations and it really looks like a good one with lots of meaningful activities!!!  It really looks like a great site.

The New Year and Great Books

I've been wanting to write for a while now but it has been so hard to find the time.  I love this time of year for being able to start a New Beginning, (I could live without the cold though)  : )  Being able to  set goals to help me reach my dreams and help me become a better mother and person all around.  That is at least what I hope for at the beginning of January.  : )
One of the books that I have started reading this year is Walking in This World by Julia Cameron.  She is such an amazing writer and I have enjoyed all the books I have read by her.

One of my dreams has been to live a more creative life and to feel confident with what I do.  As I have read the Artist's Way and Vein of Gold, which she also wrote,  I have really come to feel better about myself as an artist.
An amazing experience I have had as I read her books was to realize that what I thought I wanted and what I thought my dreams were, were not really what I truly wanted.  As I went deeper by doing the different activities and tools that she shares in her books I have been able to peel back the layers of what I thought the world or others thought should be my dreams.  For example I have always wanted to be an artist, but I thought I needed to be an exceptional "watercolorist" but I'm realizing I love textiles: yarns, and material, etc. I still love to use watercolors but I don't need to be exceptional. : )
The one thing I'm coming away with as I begin this new year is the need to believe in myself -- to believe that I can accomplish my goals and that I can reach my dreams.  It is possible.  Maybe at times it seems too hard by myself but I need to believe that I'm not alone and that Our Heavenly Father cares and will help me along this journey. I don't have to do it all by myself but simply do my very best.
If this can apply to me I know it applies to every one else.  We are not alone as we make this journey through life -- we can have help in reaching our dreams and accomplishing our goal.
