Today we give thanks.....

The snow is crunchy, the air is crisp. It's one of the coldest Thanksgiving Day's on record, but fires, and hearts, are warm. Traditions vary as we celebrate in our own way; but with family, friends, soon-to-be-friends and strangers, we gather together to remember our blessings.



At Life Fulfilled, we are thankful for a year of growth and challenges. a year filled with starts and stops, highs and lows. We are grateful that the successes vastly outweigh the failures. We are grateful for the many people we have met this year-at markets, fairs, on-line, and in the street, e are grateful for the support of our Life Fulfilled Family-friends,family, customers, suppliers, and acquaintances. We celebrate this all.



On this day of giving thanks, may you find fulfillment in gratitude, and reflection, on blessings large or small.



Happy Thanksgiving!

We are up and running!!

Well, it looks like we've finally done it. Life.Fulfilled is up and running! Thank you all who have believed, supported, advised and worked. We've got a lot of work ahead of us, but it's these small moments that contribute to a fulfilled life.
In the coming day's we will introduce you to the team, keep you updated on new products, and share some ideas and thoughts about living a more fulfilling life, but today we want to share our vision, our mission, and our definition of life fulfilled.
The dictionary defines fulfilled as "having been completed, satisfied, or carried out"- a rather passionless, emotionally empty definition that barely scratches the surface. Another definition that hits nearer to the center of the target is "completed to perfection" That definition infuses the word with some qualitative benchmark. But even then that definition seems rather ethereal, and suggests that fulfillment only comes at the end, and only when the gold-stamp of perfection is applied. No question, when I end the near of my life life, I want to look back and say truthfully that my life has been fulfilled, or completed to perfection. But I'll tell you what, I am just as convinced that "fulfilled" is as much an ongoing, living, breathing process, as it is an end goal. And I'm also convinced that it's possible to live day to day feeling complete and whole, to perfection, while still being imperfect. That is life fulfilled.
That of course is our vision for Life.Fulfilled. It is an attitude, it is a way of life. It's an emotional and physical state of being, of being whole, complete, and perfectly balanced, while being able to acknowledge imperfections within and around yourself. Life. Fulfilled. is about helping all of us, individually and collectively, find fulfillment wherever we are, what ever we are doing, our mission is to help each of us identify within ourselves which truly fulfills us-not just makes us feel good, masks the pain, or pleases those around us-but honestly, genuinely, fulfills me and you. Of course, just identifying and labeling something as "fulfilling" does nothing without taking a hold of it, without actively seeking it, without making it part of ourselves, part of our very being. And so our mission at Life.Fulfilled. includes that critical component, on a very individual level- to help us all focus on what fulfills, while discarding the rest-the noise, the static, the interference, the soul clutter that distracts, and keeps us from feeling, hearing, from experiencing fulfillment, and holds us back from that perfection completion. With Life. Fulfilled., we hope to share with you our ideas, our successes and failures, and our vision on how to find and live the fulfilled life. Use what you can, don't worry about the rest. Everyone is different, and everyone has different way to feel and be fulfilled. Tell us what makes you fulfilled.
