Do you ever feel like somewhere between falling in love, getting married, raising a family, developing a career, taking care of parents, and trying to meet everyone's expectations of the superwoman you've become, that you lost something? Do you ever feel like you've put aside your own dreams, aspirations, hobbies, and sense of adventure for the sake of practicality? Do you long to sit quietly and relax without hearing your name called? It's time to reclaim yourself, take a break, and turn your focus and energy to yourself! It's time for Summer Camp for Moms and other weary women at Camp Ladybug for Women.

Cinderella Corner
Blog Post
Cinderella Corner
I am a child of the 1960's, a time when there were 3 major television stations to choose from ABC, CBS and NBC. A time when you got up off your couch to turn the dial to change the channel and adjust the volume. Today, I suppose all that might be considered Television aerobics.
I remember waiting excitedly every year to watch Roger & Hammerstein's Cinderella. As she sang and danced her way through the fairytale I was especially intrigued by her song that went something like this... But, I know of a spot in my house where no one can stand in my way. In my own little corner in my own little chair, I can be who ever I want to be. On the wind of my fancy I can fly anywhere and the world will open it's arms to me. All alone in my own little corner, all alone in my own little chair, I can be whatever I want to be. I would like add the next line to say, and I can do whatever I want to do.
I created a vision board and on it I have a sketch for an Art Studio above my garage, and just as soon as I can take the roof off the garage, add a second floor and turn a window into a doorway into the studio, the dream will become a reality. No big deal right for a good contractor right? However in the mean time I have come to realize that I have created Cinderella Corners in my house! Corners or nooks that I have claimed as my own to sew, paint, draw, scrapbook, blog, and plan a summer camp. In these corners I can escape and play, reflect and plan...turn on my favorite music, sit in my own little chair, do whatever I want to do and be whoever I want to be.
So you see you don't need a great big room to call your own, just pick a spot and set up shop, designate it as your own. Surround yourself with inspiration and get to work on creating what you love, what makes you smile or brings joy to others. Don't procrastinate, don't hesitate, pick up your chair and set it there... in your own little corner. ~ Terry

Live Each Day...
Live each day to the fullest. Get the most from each hour, each day and each age of your life. Then you can look forward with confidence, and back without regrets. Be yourself, but be your best self. Dare to be different and follow your own star.

And don't be afraid to be happy.
Enjoy what is beautiful. Love with all your heart and soul.
Believe that those you love, love you.
Forget what you have done for your friends, and remember what they have done for you.
Disregard what the world owes you, and concentrate on what you owe the world.
When you are faced with a decision, make that decision as wisely as possible - then forget it.
The moment of absolute certainty never arrives.
Above all, remember that God helps those who help themselves. Act as if everything depended upon you, and pray as if everything depended upon God... Author Unknown
