About Julia Meade

Well, I'm just a strange bird that seeks to do kind things everyday.  I may not have all the money in the world but you don't have to pay a dime to be kind.  Everyday I talk to my children about also being kind.  Should anything come out of this journaling experience, I sincerely hope that I have inspired others to do something they may not have otherwise done because it was just a good thing to do.  It can't be only for your benefit.  It truly needs to benefit someone else.  I often feel, though, that by being kind, it boosts my own personal satisfaction on levels that really cannot be described.

So, here's to hoping to also take time to be kind to someone today!  Just think what our society might look like if we were mindful of being kind - the opportunities are endless!

That said, here's the skinny (not literally, unfortunately) on me:

I am 35 with a pretty wonderful life (I mean, it is what we make of it).  I have a doting husband, Jacob, that supports me in all I do, even though he rarely listens.  We have a 4 year old son, Gregory, that is really starting to come into his own and be a good kid, fun to be around. Our two year old daughter, Meade, is much like me - a force to be reckoned with.  She is a stubborn disaster most days, but we wouldn't trade it for the world!  Both monsters love like no other and I feel blessed to be their mom.

I am a professional, working in the data-driven world for a managed care organization.  Work takes a lot of me, but I work even harder to find the right work/life integration.  Outside of the office, I like to create.  I like to re-purpose things, make gifts, craft with the kids, etc.  I take pride in doing this and enjoy it so very much.  It is therapy for my soul!

So, I truly value my family and really enjoy creating.  What better way to merge the two and help a beautiful, deserving couple create their own family!!
