Find Your Bliss in 2010

What is bliss anyway? With all your responsibilities can you ever hope to experience “bliss”?

“Bliss” – extreme happiness or joy

Probably not ALL the time, no. But moments of bliss or happiness and joy are definitely attainable by all of us. I’ve learned though that they don’t usually happen without a little effort on my part. I have to slow down enough to notice them, choose the right actions to create them, and pay attention to the quieter moments to find them.

Each of us was created with a unique purpose in mind. And we don’t all derive joy from the same activities. But I think most of us would agree that being healthy, loving our families, and completing work and activities that fulfill us lead us closer to experiencing joy as women.

Now that we’ve entered a new decade we’ll be changing the “I Am Blissfully Domestic” meme to “Find Your Bliss.” It’s all about sharing, noticing, uncovering, discovering, and pursuing your bliss.

Each week we’ll have a new theme and feature some fabulous women around the web who are sharing and finding their bliss. There are new badges and a linky below for you to share your own ideas about bliss.

Who did we find being blissful this week?
