Transformation Wordle...Assignment 1

I chose to do the second half of Assignment 1 with wordle.net. It was fun...and I recommend it! I will be printing mine and putting it in my journal to remind me of why I am doing this and where I am going.

Thanks for checking out my blog! Funny thing - I used to be scared of lifting weights in public, too. I have stepped up to running outside...haven't run into anything yet! I appreciate your support and kind words. Have a great day- Kim

Welcome! Welcome! Welcome! Since you are looking for a change, this is the place for it to happen! I am still new - only in for a few weeks, but changes are happening. I think the 'secret to being successful' with the transformation is to he honest with yourself and decide that you want the change. Be Well. Paul.

I Am

Karena Jane. :) Discovery. A life lived passionately. Courage. Survival. Transcendence. Love. Faith. Family. Trust. Taking risks. The good earth. Peace. Beginnings. Journeys. Commitment. Patty Griffin said it best in "Trapeze":Some people want to know what it feels like to fly/Gather their courage and they give it a try

My Favorite Charity

To me, Transformation Means

living fully in the present. Acceptance. Peace within. I think transformation occurs when one grips the truth and reality of the moment with both hands. Change is made, moment by moment....not by simply wishing for change. Change is not made in the future. Change is made in the here and now.

My Goals

To be fully realized. To achieve the goals I set out to achieve. To see what my mind, body, heart and soul are capable of. To realize what I already know I am capable of. To conquer my demons...and look good in a bikini while doing it, of course. ;)

My Intentions

To forgive myself for blundering through the past. To take things at my own pace. To finish what I start. To start...in the first place. From "Galileo", by the Indigo Girls:How long till my soul gets it right
Can any human being ever reach that kind of light
I call on the resting soul of Galileo
King of night vision, king of insight

Who I'd Like to Inspire

I would like to inspire my fiance, my parents, my siblings and of course, my children. Not to mention anyone who has ever felt "less than".From "Windfall", by Son Volt:Few and far between past the midnight hour
Never feel alone, you're really not alone...
