Kim
A little about me.... let us see: (cause how can you sum up the total of a person in a few lines of text?)
I am a single mom of three. I am starting my own business after a 14.5 year career in the computer industry. I love and enjoy spending time with my friends and am a fanatic about cribbage.

In addition to my three beautiful and inspiring little ones, I also look out for two (sometimes more) teens that have had a rough time as of late. I think and live with generousity and believe that what you put forth, is what you receive. What I have also found, is though you may do that, you have to be also willing to receive.
What My blog is about....Life is a journey that is worth celebrating. Our children come in this world beautiful and with much abundance ahead of them.... We wouldn't take that from them. So, with intent, I am sharing with you my journey on allowing. And celebrating the joys that come with all experiences that I encounter. There are stuggles, but we will find the joy that was asked for initially.
You are in the right place with the right folks to find out what that all means.
Have a blessed day and I look forward to sharing this experience with you.
Chris Johnson

Chris is a refugee from the Ph.D. job market currently working in the financial services industry. He likes to read, write, cycle, watch French movies, dabble in bad art, and start (though not necessarily finish) home remodeling projects. Above all, he is the father of two kids and a husband.
Chris is interested in the biological and evolutionary basis of human psychology. In particular, he enjoys perspectives on human happiness that recognize this framework and seek to guide us around the limitations nature has set for us. He also enjoys the work of Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, although he can't pronounce his name.
Barb

Barbara is a married mother of three and currently works in project management/business analysis for a technology company. Her passions include spending time with her family, scrapbooking and dancing. She is also her children's biggest cheerleader - whether it be learning new skills, winning the big game, or taking pride in a piece of artwork - all accomplishments deserve to be received with excitement and praise.
Barbara's blog is about living by her Grandmother's belief - "Everything in life happens for a reason" - and finding opportunities in life's little (and big) challenges. Barbara is hoping her optimism is infectious...(yes, the glass is half full). Enjoy!
