Quote of the day...

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tommorrow. -Melody Beattie, Self help author.

Thought of the day...

There's no way you can control the world, especially the other people in it. Unplanned things are always going to happen. Rather than getting discouraged and giving up when things go wrong, just think of these events as detours on your journey. It might take you longer to reach your goals, and the goals might have changed a little by the time you get there. But if you keep your eyes open for all the "road signs" along the way, you'll reach your destination when many others end up lost.

Growing up...

“Many people are either unwilling or unable to suffer the pain of giving up the outgrown which needs to be forsaken. Consequently they cling, often forever, to their old patterns of thinking and behaving, thus failing to negotiate any crisis, to truly grow up, and to experience the joyful sense of rebirth that accompanies the successful transition into greater maturity.”- The road less traveled by: M. Scott Peck, M.D.

What are your thoughts on this statement? How can you relate to this?

'May today there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others. May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content with yourself just the way you are. Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us.'

This came in a forwarded email to me and I thought it was really powerful. Hope you all enjoy!

Today's Message of the Day

2009-04-15T11:15:00.000-07:00

Life is short,

Break the rules,

Forgive quickly,

Kiss slowly,

Love truly,

Laugh uncontrollably,

And never regret anything that made you smile.

Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we're here we should dance.

If you had one great piece of advice to share with someone in their 20's what would that be? and why? It can be a lesson, a way of thinking, or anything else that comes to mind.

If you have multiple things to share please do so. Thanks :)

*Our thinking behind this question is based on each individual finding their own path through your advice. Its ok to be specific in the story of how you learned it, but try to summarize the advice so that it can lend itself to many different people/situations.

WELCOME

We are so excited to be launching this blog. All the information compiled and submitted to this website will help us in our efforts towards creating a one of a kind book for generations (not to mention a bestseller haha). We invite everyone to submit your thoughts, stories, questions, etc regarding relationships, friendships, family, finances, and anything else a young woman in their 20’s would need to know. Each week we will be posting a new topic up for discussion. We hope that each of you will find this to be helpful and powerful to the younger generations as well as to “us” (the editors) and giving us guidance in creating a book tailored to Impoweringenerations.
