The Road Less Traveled...

  I'd like to speak with you today about something that isn't discussed as openly as it should be.  I'll present it the best way I know how... from experience. I hope you find it beneficial.   A few weeks ago I experienced a full blown panic attack, mixed with an internal "breakdown", and "rebuilding" process. For the many who experience or have experienced these you are already familiar with the weight of those moments/times.  I was drowning underneath the weight of other peoples expectations of me. It was as though the person that I knew, and recognized as "me" was vanishing, and it surely felt that way. However, upon closer investigation at that time I realized that what was leaving, or falling away from me... was actually the parts of myself that I used to identify with these expectations of those around me. (and in some cases those from my past.)      Once this realization had occurred I began to feel the weight slowly lift fro...

One day at a time.

  Summer break is here, and with it a house full of kids.  My days have been busy with "to-do's", and all those things that don't get done at other times.  Though busy it may be... you have not been far from my mind.  I hope you are finding enjoyment today in all the joyous moments that surround you.   For me... moments of quiet reflections have been few, and far between.  However when they do come they are VERY welcome. Here is one of those moments that I'd like to share with you.  I awake this morning to the song of birds. Trilling melodies back & forth at one another. As though they are trying to see... who can sing the happiest song to the sun. I am delighted to oblige them... by being their audience. Quite content... to listen to their songs throughout the day.   Enjoy your day! ~Amy Young/ Willow Rock Creations

New Beginnings

  From early on in life I knew what my big dreams were, and what things in life made me happy and what didn't. I wanted to be a photographer for national geographic to travel the world and share its  beauty with everyone. I wanted to be a writer, and to publish a book of poetry and descriptive short stories. So it could open a world of wonders and deep-felt expressions with all who would read them. I wanted to be a shop owner who sold good items that were mostly handmade, and I wanted to do it in person. To me those person-to-person interactions have always been at the top of my list.   After all... what real purpose does life have if we do not have each other?  And I wanted my children to be able to see first hand that what they dream...they can create!     Though being a INFP ( Introverted, iNtuitive, Feeling, Perceiving  person) many events and people who crossed my life path caused me to doubt myself, and made me wonder if I was reaching...
