Changing it up with a New Interactive Template Design!

I just applied a new template design to Peace Of Mind.
It's a brand new feature for BLOGGER and I am quite excited about it.
I ask for your patience, dear readers, as I figure out the newness and ins and outs of it all.

Right now, it's about 1:15AM. My husband turned me on to this new Interactive Template Design before he went to bed. I was just planning on checking it out, but then, I just could not help myself but to go ahead and apply some of these (what I think) are some very cool upgrades.

I will let it be till tomorrow and  re-asses then.
I'm sure, since this is quite new for BLOGGER, there will be more exciting changes to come.
In this case, I feel that change is a good thing and am hoping that you all will enjoy the new look and interactivity.

Please, as always, feel free to comment and let me know what you think.
In the mean time I will figure out how to get a few of my gadgets and such back.
I am hoping that you will enjoy exploring my page in a whole new way.

I'm sure I'll be thinking more clearly after a good night's rest and am looking forward to tweaking things a bit more in the morning.

Sweet Dreams to All.......


FYI: On the top right of the page (under the header), you will notice the word "Mosaic" with a white arrow beside it.
Hoover over it for a drop down menu.
You will then see the options for interactive viewing as follows:
CLASSIC
FLIPCARD
MAGAZINE
MOSAIC
SIDEBAR
SNAPSHOT
TIMESLIDE
At this point you may choose one of those options to view my blog in a different configuration!
Choose which one better suits your viewing/reading pleasure.
Make sure to change it up now and then.
I currently have it defaulted to "MOSAIC"...that is subject to change at any moment.
THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT
May you have a most fabulous day......PEACE :)

New Pages!

Hello Dear Readers,

I have finally figured out how to add pages to my blog. Had a bit of an issue having them show up on the main page. Now, I must think about what to put up on these additional pages. In the mean time, they are sort of in a test mode, so please be patient with me. I do not want to post anything on them just for the sake of posting.

I am looking forward to adding some more inspiring pictures, thoughts, and maybe a few surprises.

I appreciate your support while I get this all straighten out and set up.

One more thing, if you have any suggestions, I would me more than willing to considering them.

Thanks again for your continued interest in my blog. I feel truly grateful for every view, comment, and acknowledgment.

Your Dear Friend,
 Marilu  aka, Peace and Harmony

"At least the rhododendrons are blooming......"

Those were the words I uttered to my mom during our last phone conversation about our daily woes. It lightened up the mood and put things into a happier perspective; which leads me into why I decided to create this blog.

How we see things makes all the difference in the way we perceive our daily circumstances. We should seek the reasons for why we see things the way we do and how it makes us feel. We all come from different places, and as a result, our life experiences shine through in our daily outlook.

In these increasingly volatile times in which we all live in, peace and security seem to harder to achieve now than ever before. When your head is filled with distractions, it is quite difficult to focus on any task, large or small. This is why it is so very important to clear your life of the "clusters" that have been holding you back from enjoying the little things, like the blooming rhododendrons. Because sometimes the little things are all we have to fall upon.

The day my daughter was born, I decided to stay home and raise my children. In making this choice, I knew that it would be more difficult financially and that sacrifices would have to be made. Even so, I felt great comfort in knowing that this was the right path for our family to take. I have never had regrets for doing so, and believe that being a stay-at-home mom was my calling. Furthermore, through this I have learned great lessons in patience, acceptance, and healing.

My purpose is to have a place where I can share the way in which, through the years, I have been able to find peace through the chaos life hands us by being truly honest with myself about who I am and where I am coming from. I would like to share my vision with you: that you, the reader, may gain a more honest and soon positive perspective by looking at your own life experiences with a less cluttered mind, home, and eventually life. In short, lightening the load and moving forward with grace.

I encourage comments from all viewpoints. There is no room for judgement. We all have our own personal issues to deal with. I am excited about the opportunity to help each other along life's journey in an open, honest, and grateful way. My subjects will vary greatly, discussing everything from how the simple task of organizing a closet can reap larger benefits than originally intended, to dealing with the fact that bad things that happen to good people.

A sense of gratitude is, for me,  probably the biggest factor in being able to achieve a positive outlook when  hope seems to be fading. Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog, and I sincerely hope you find what you are looking for.
