My heart goes to you and your family friend. I had a hard time myself during the second half of the past year which had a mini-climax at around Christmas. I vowed not to go to bed with a bad mood and decided to lift myself up. There it was – blogging. It worked. That's when I realized I could lift me up, share some insights with others, and even have some humor through writing. When we are really intentional, sometimes we see new possibilities because we need to. And those last.

Thanks Jake! Your comments are s-u-p-e-r sweet. I have a hard time believing you have an awkward personality given your kind nature. Glad to hear you find these tools of intention useful as well!
Cheers~

Melissa,
Thanks for your insights, especially during a very difficult and personal time in your life. Living in the moment, or intentionality as I like to call it, has been one of my primary focus points this past year. I like the methods that you pointed out, and I think that this can work, not only when I need to be intentional for myself, but to be intentional for others as well. As much as I love people, my awkward personality does not always allow me to comfortably be intentional with others. This has been an area where I have had to find my mojo, breathe with intention, and dance with the moment. Interestingly enough, I find that I have more meaningful relationships instead of a lot of acquaintances. This has also worked when dealing with change in my workplace. I never like to be the bearer of bad news, but it comes with the job. However, learning to be intentional and relational as a coach has helped myself that the employees I interact with.
OK, you provided the soap box and I just marched all over it.
Blessings to you during this difficult time.
