Late in 2007 to early 2008, I wrote a 300 page project book for girls...

I never had it published and want to make that a goal of mine to do by 2015.  In the mean time, I have decided to share the pages of it with you, my blog readers.  This book was written for girls ages 8-12.  It is a collection of ideas, poetry, quotes and sayings that I have been collecting since I was 8.  Girl (I)land is intended as a project book, a self esteem tool, and a keepsake journal for girls.  Girl (I)land is a collection of things ranging from the 1920's through current times. Nostalgic it is! Enjoy!     I am releasing the pages in the order they appear in the table of contents.

   The Symptoms <3 span="">of Inner Peace
            Adapted from Saskia Davis Inner Peace Love
  ~ Increasing susceptibility to the love extended by            others as well as the uncontrollable urge to extend it. 
~ A tendency to think & act spontaneously rather than based on fears from the past. ~ An increasing tendency to let things happen rather than to make them happen. ~ Wonderful feelings of connectedness with others and nature. ~ A loss of interest in trying to interpret the actions of others. ~ Frequent overwhelming episodes
of appreciation. ~ An unmistakable ability to
enjoy each moment. ~ A loss of interest
in judging other people. ~ A loss of  
interest in judging self. ~ A loss
 of the ability to worry.
Frequent attacks
of smiling. ~ A loss
of interest in
conflict.

 The Beauty & Joy of
Inner Peace is: the more you share, the more you have and the more
you have, the more you share!
