Journal Entry: Fri Nov 16, 2007, 12:33 PM


Hi Friends!


Some exciting...ohhh so exciting stuff is going on around here.. have you seen the new Personal Gallery set up yet? Beta Testers are using it now! It is amazing, we can sort out our own galleries so simply and efficiently. I love it! :heart:

How about the the Prints Section? Oh I am so pleased! Since I order so many prints and gifts, this has really impressed me. They have made it much simpler and streamlined. It even looks great!

Have you seen the new Streamlined Galleries? My gallery Community Projects has been all done up and it is great! Check it out. There are policy changes and all kinds of things coming up....

You will be pleased...that I can assure you! Check here often for updates.

Hope you are getting ready for the Giving Thanks Project! I am working on getting some holiday stuff done with my children. I look forward to sharing them with you. We are working on the Stockings for the Arctic Project listed in my promos. Please check it out and we can share our stories!

Journal History

Freedom

Wrapped in Freedom

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~




Live life wrapped in the freedom to be true to yourself

Never changing..to please someone else...

We worry often if what we say..is what others want to hear..

Acting in peculiar ways to keep others near..

Freedom to reach deep inside..

Being everything you believe in ..never choosing to hide...

To love those around you..without any fear of who you need to please...

To adore the beauty life has to offer..to absorb what you need

To be alive and free..never ashamed of how you feel

Never needing to hide....whats inside...to be what is real..

Being true to yourself..honest in all that you do..

Is a freedom..a gift..wrapped in truth...


Live life wrapped in the freedom to be yourself...
