live peacefully

Fundamentally, this is all me…but on a day-to-day basis, with having three little boys running around me, I feel like I have all this built up tension that comes out not so peacefully. Overall, I feel like I’m doing a pretty good job, but it’s something that I am working on, and will continue to work on always. I want to surround myself with things that will be a constant reminder of the peace that I want for myself and my family and my community. I want to read more books that have that notion at its centerpiece. I really need to make an effort to work toward this, instead of just being a notion.

I come from a big family who lives physically and emotionally close. I have three young sons and a wonderful husband. The best thing I can do is live a peaceful life for myself, and be an example for my sons. Although I’ve had some eventful years in the previous seven, this is an important year for me and one in which I’ve chosen “peace” as my word of the year. It grounds me, which is so important when it’s ridiculously easy to get caught up in the busyness of the world.
