Welcome to our new home here at Life’s Little Inspirations. Isn’t it exciting? I feel as if I am walking around in my socks in a great big lighthouse mansion on the hills overlooking the ocean. Right now there are lots of empty rooms and so much open space that it seems like there is no way it will ever be filled up. There is lots of room to grow. Everything won’t be unveiled in a day or a week or even in a month so we will continue to shape and evolve and grow step by step into the space of our new home.
If you like the new design as much as I do, stop by and tell the Men with Pens because that stunning lighthouse and this website is the brainchild of Harrison McLeod and I couldn’t be happier with the work he and James did here. I did promise that I wouldn’t suffer from failure to launch syndrome so we are up and running while the paint dries and before we get all the furniture in and curtains up.
I am the great believer in baby steps after all. I don’t believe in waiting until everything is perfect because perfect isn’t coming. I have a lot to learn and I will continue to grow and learn and evolve just as I have been doing, right along side the rest of our community! One step at a time and the first step is to open the doors and welcome you all in so we can get back to the business of posting on the blog and keeping in touch!
As far as the future goes here, the first thing that you can expect is that our past will remain intact. I will continue to post at the same rate and with the same schedule as I did before at the old place. Our theme and the focus of what we are all about will stay the same as well. Making a positive difference in the lives of others is still my passion and my primary number one focus. Writing and sharing inspirational messages and insights to help people on their path will still be my number one goal.
So what will be new? The new site allows me the ability to expand into a website that also showcases additional resources and opportunities. In addition, I will be able to highlight services that will become availiabe to those who are interested or in need of them. I am also excited to share that I am working on the book verson of Life’s Little Inspirations, which will be available here as well.
Some of this will come soon, some in awhile, baby steps and long term goals are my map to success but rest assured, my passionate goal is posted where we all can see it every day and I will be heading toward it with radar focus. CAN, WILL and BELIEVE!

Brett!!!
I can’t tell you how exciting it is, how special it is that you have the first comment here. It is so appropriate since you were the first person EVER to comment and welcome me into the blogging world in the first place.
If you could see how big my smile is right now…let’s just say it’s beaming so much I can turn off all the lights now.
thank you friend for all of your help and support to get me here.
Hi Wendi,
Your new home is absolutely gorgeous. I can see why you’re so proud of it and wanting to show it off.
Congratulations!

Wendi,
I guess I was, wasn’t I? I’m very happy to be here! Whenever new notices from you pop into my feed reader, I jump to read them – so I suppose it was destiny.
I *can* see your smile from here (I wondered why the sun was rising in the west today…) – smile on, my friend – you’ve earned it.
I may have helped you in some small part, but it is you and all of your hard and honest work that really got you to this point – and that will bring you to ever greater heights.

I am so proud of you Wendi! You are becoming quite a Blogging Megastar! I look forward to the new site and all the mystery it holds! Congratulations on moving forward with this dream!
Jenny’s last blog post..I Did It!
Hi Barbara,
I’m so glad you came to see it!
Thank you so much, when Harry first showed me the lighthouse it took my breath away, it was just what I wanted. He is really amazing at knowing what a person is talking about.
Now I just need to learn how to take care of it and all of the techie stuff. Like figuring out how I accidently moved my RSS button to the wrong place. OOPS. ( Its up on the top in all of the pages. I’m such a goofball)
Alex,
Yes, they really did…I am very proud of them. Thanks for coming and toasting to them and the site. See you at ER ( and here more often I hope) I can’t wait to get back to writing!
Brett,
Don’t underestimate your pebble in my water friend. It’s more like a giant boulder. Look around at all of the friends and experiences I have had because you took the time to bring me into your world. You were a bridge into a whole new life.
You make a big difference. 🙂
Jenny,
hahaha, Blogging Megastar??? ME??? I can’t even find my way around here without stubbing my toe! But…sigh…what a nice thought. You are such a great friend.
On to new experiences and new learning!
@ Wendi: Congratulations on a very beautiful and calming, hopeful site! I don’t know how many new MwP sites I’ve seen in the last month, and each one is so lovely and captures so well the individual running the show.
Your excitement is palpable! I can feel it in your words. I really feel proud of you. It’s just so awesome to see our friends, with whom we’ve talked so much about motivating and inspiring and DOING it, actually go out and DO it. I’m very happy for you!
I wish we could do it in person, all get together and toast each other’s accomplishments. But sheesh, at this rate, we’d all be loaded, eh? You’d be scraping me off the lighthouse (my alcohol tolerance is almost nil!).
I look forward to hanging in the new place. It’s beautiful, as are you.
Steph
PS. Thank you so much for including me on your community page! I am honoured.

@Wendi,
Wow. Thank you for saying that, my friend.
You, too, make a big difference. Thank you.

@Wendi
Welcome back! You were missed.
Aww…thanks for the Link Love. (I coudln’t help but notice I was included in the “Community List”.
Love the new look, by the way.
(I’m going to have to hire the Pen Men one of these days, myself).
Friar’s last blog post..Basil the Special Dog (Update Part II)
Friar, Thanks for the welcome back!
I had a great vacation. came home to mountains of laundry and a tough re-entry trying t get the house and the blog and my son ready (for high school) all in three days but I got it done. Now we can get back to life and finding that eveer elusive balance.
And Friar…you have been on the Community page since it was invented. I keep trying to get everyone added and updated but you are an original. the round table gang was on there first. 🙂
@Steph,
Thanks!
Your turn next right???
You are welcome, I love having you as part of the community, thanks for being here!
Hey everyone,
I found out today that Alex Fayle (comment up above) just unleashed his new Pen Men design site this week too. It is beautiful. Go check it out at Someday Syndrome. ( I wish I knew how to put a link in here but I don’t yet. Sorry Alex, You can if you want to)
Thanks Wendi! People can link to the site from my name or go directly to http://somedaysyndrome.com
Cheers,
Alex

Wendi,
Your new home is gorgeous and totally fits your style and personality! I love it! Wow, the Pen Men have been mighty busy! I love the new place and look forward to stretching and growing with you. Congratulations!! It suits you perfectly!
Karen,
Thanks! They are busy boys. I don’t know how they do it, especially when I kept Harry so busy with questions all the time. Personalized customer service…he isn’t kidding. Patient as the day is long…
I am really looking forward to stretching out and figuring out how it all works too. That may take awhile. It took me a month the first time just to learn how to do a link. LOL. But I didn’t have a Harry back then. 🙂
Welcome home, Wendi. It’s a very comfortable, gentle site and I think it reflects you well. I also love that shade of blue/grey, very soothing.
James!!!!!!! 🙂 🙂
I’m so glad you are here. That makes me very very happy.
Can you tell?
I love the colors too. That was very Harry. In my mind I had a more purple blue but his was better. His was perfect and the minute I saw it I fell in love.
By the way….You and Brett and Steph inspired my post on winning. Do you know who Vince Lombardi is? ( Do Canadians care about football?) He reminds me of you. I mean that in a really good way.
Oh! I’ve been waiting to see your new site Wendi and it’s just perfect! Absolutely perfect. I already looked all around and my heart got all nice and warm just like it always does when I read your stuff. You have a special gift for making people feel good and now you have a site that reflects that gift.
I can’t tell you how honored I am to be one of your pebble people. Gosh, I have tears in my eyes now and I don’t want to get too mushy lest Friar gets his knickers in a twist 😉
I love your new home. Thanks for welcoming all of us into it.

Melissa,
I’m so glad you like it. It does seem that Harry has got it just right. It has just the feeling I wanted it to have for everyone. A place to come and unwind at and get some peace.
And that friar’s knickers are just going to have to deal with it or I’m going to put them on the maypole cause this is a place where fuzzies are always welcome!
Wendi, Hurrah for the fuzzies 😉 Harry’s got talent, that’s for sure. Sometimes I think he’s a mind reader. Ahem.
Anyway, I also wanted to tell you that I think a Life’s Little Inspirations book is going to be brilliant! I can’t wait till it comes out. And, I’m really intrigued to learn what services you’re going to offer. That’s so exciting!

Hi Wendi.
At the local library. Computer at home is dust. Hope to find this new location again.
How do I subscribe, if and when i get on the home puter?
Ms. O
Hugs and love the new site.
Olivia, I am so glad you found us! I was missing you!
No matter what, you can always link to us from the old site. It’s still there so that everyone can find there way here.
But the easiest way is to subscribe by clicking on the big bright orange button in the top corner of each blog page. That way you most miss a single post.
Wonderful to find this new “home”, Wendi.
Took me a bit to get here, but now. . . . so comfortable!
New format – so professional and so inviting, at the same time.
Also, got first email copy of the latest entry. With a broken computer, I can access only in limited time from here in the Agatha. At the library I can access, but it brings up the old site and not this new location. And, from that multiple use computer, can’t respond, etc.
Anyway, glad to find my home computer allowing me this little space in time to say Congratulations to a wonderful new home.
Mistress O
