			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, the cat is out of the bag.  I know I should be projecting this air of pure confidence, but I think it is important for the integrity of this blog to reflect what I am actually feeling.  Trepidation.  Excitement.  Amazement that I’ve gotten this far.</p>
<div id="attachment_148" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 138px"><img class="size-full wp-image-148" title="Crossed fingers 3" src="http://strengthentheharmonyblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Crossed-fingers-3.jpg" alt="Crossing my fingers" width="128" height="96" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Crossing my fingers</p></div>
<p>Questioning why I am not further. And much, much more.  And crossing my fingers.</p>
<p>You see, I’m no different than everyone else who is working on achieving their goals, building the life they desire,  and family harmony. We all want to reach our goals.  We all want to have the life we dream about.  But I know from my own life that sometimes it just feels like “I’m the only one struggling with this.” or “Why is this so hard?  Everyone else seems to get it so easily.” or ” How come I am not getting what I want as fast as others get what they want? or “Why do family or work needs keep taking priority over what I want to accomplish?”</p>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">Being Authentic is Important</h4>
<p>I want this blog to be authentic and a place where readers can find resources that help them on their journey to strengthening the harmony in their life, family and work.</p>
<p>You see, I believe that  the people  we believe are successful — business owner, celebrities, happily married folks, etc.  — have all experienced their own personal demons and difficult times.  They just stuck with it and figured out how to get through and get better.  That is what this blog is all about.  Helping you to get through whatever is holding you back and get better at strengthening the harmony in your life, family and work.</p>
<p>I don’t know where this journey is taking me.  I only know that I was given the idea — somehow it floated into my head and  at least I was wise enough to “hear it.”  Up until now, I have been reluctant to truly embrace it and take action to take the idea to the world.</p>
<p>But now I am taking action.  I hope “the world” will welcome the idea and use the resources to take action in their own lives.</p>
