We dusted off our lunchboxes this week as my girls returned to their various preschool activities after the summer holidays. On Monday I certainly struggled to think of good lunchbox fillers and have been trying to put more thought into it as the week has gone on. My eldest daughter needs a packed lunch four days a week now. Ideally I'd love these lunches to be varied, healthy, homemade, tasty and desirable, without being too stressful for me to put together.

"We all HUNGER for more meaning. Searching endlessly, and insatiably so...trying to fill the cracks that creep into our existence. We are waiting for someone, or something to come and light up our lives, when all along WE are the solution, WE are the creation, WE ARE OUR OWN SAVIOR."

Every action we’ve taken in the last year has built the future we have right now. I received an email from Marion this week which says it all: “Thanks for your weekly blog – besides being interesting it gives me a reminder each week to keep up my goals energy.
