I am a young professional working in the wonderful world of journalism who has a knack for creativity but not-yet enough boldness to call myself an "artist." I prefer things homemade - food, gifts, furniture, decor and on and on. I try to see the best in all people and situations, as my mom said, "What makes you better than anyone else?" -- except, of course, if you cut me in line for coffee.

Hello, in there!

I live for the moments that remind me I'm alive.

This morning I woke up to an email from my aunt. I was a little skeptical because I really hate wasting my time with chain letters, and refuse to forward them.
But, this one was different:


To: Janine
From: Aunt Sharon
Subject: To 8 women who have touched my life

"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."
That's the kind of chain email I can get with.
A friendly reminder I am just fine the way I am, and any improvements I make are simply a bonus -- but not needed.

Truly words to live by.
