There are so many gems in the journal entries of my regular website pit stops this week.  If you are looking for bits of wisdom and inspiration, be sure to take a peek at these wonderfully wise and beautiful women:

"We have to be willing to experience chaos and laugh about it."  -Keri Smith

"Embrace the feeling of being emotionally naked for an experience." -Pixie Campbell

"I know I am strong." -Feisty Scribe

"…what I know is that I’m creating something special, that it’s going to work eventually, that it will take some time and staying steady, and that I can stay with it through the hard parts.  And somehow I know this is much closer to the truth than all of that fear."  -Andrea Scher

I am beginning to gain some clarity on the dilemma I spoke of yesterday.  It is interesting to watch it come into focus, like fogging drifting away to reveal a garden I never knew was there.
