Corri,

I do think the Mama Gena thing would be incredible. I have just had a pretty girly time as well. While H was gone on his annual boy extravaganza trip to the beach I took time off work and redid my girls' room (they share). I did it in these lovely aqumarine colors (not pink) that are so different from my usual safe decorating choices. Every time i walk in to their room I feel great! I feel like my girls have a place in this den of testosterone (H owned the house with himself and foster boys before I lived here).

Your comment on journaling - soooo true! There are some terrific books/workshops on journaling - google it and you will find some interesting things and I have a book called Journaling for Joy. I also often use the topics that Oprah has in her magazine - there are some new questions every month that center around a certain theme. I would love it if there were a journal created that had lined paper in the front and a divider and sketch pad paper in the back - I have started to do some illustrations with watercolor colored pencils in mine (I suck as an artist but need to create once in a while).

Cool - about your date. Keep enjoying your life!

Karen
