BklynMom -- Thanks for the kind words...

I do find myself feeling anger at times, but I try to recognize it, acknowledge why I am feeling it, and then try to let it go because I feel that the anger eats away at the better parts of who I am and who I want to be now and in the future...

I'm on day 3 of meditation and am planning to stick with it to hopefully begin to feel the difference in my life over time. I got this great short book called "The Practice" that provides a very simple approach to meditating as well as using a few other easy techniques to stay more "present" during each moment of the day and a technique for reflecting and letting go at the end of the day. I am hoping that this is simple enough for me to incorporate into my life right now... It seems to be so far. :-)

Definitely want to live much more calmly and peacefully so I can be present and much more patient with my kids. They are picking up on the stress around us right now and I need to change my energy drastically in order to bring more peace into their lives right now.

As for the job... Hoping I can post an update this week about at least getting a call to go in for an interview!
