Since becoming a parent I feel so much deeper than I ever did before. When i experience hurt and pain directly i realize now that it never hurts in comparison to the hurt i feel when my sons feel hurt. I guess sometimes it feels as if my heart has grown much bigger and has been transplanted into ... Comment - Like

I have to kneel before the Father, put my ear against his chest and listen, without interruption to the heartbeat of God. Then, and only then, can I say carefully and very gently what I hear. -Henri Nouwen

I'm thankful today for david's tea. I bought a new flavor and my taste buds are doing the tango.
I'm thankful that I kept my agenda low key this weekend. I really needed to relax and savor my time off. I recognized that and I'm proud of myself for that.
I'm thankful for the new potted "tree" in m... Comment - Like

Schedule time for yourself. It is very important to believe in self preservation. Life can knock us off of our feet. Sometimes we don't even realize how drained we are until it is well past the time when we should have nurtured ourselves. We need to really believe how essential it is to relax ou... Comment - Like

I believe that people shouldn't feel bad about learning the hard way, that kind of learning usually leaves the most lasting impression.
I firmly believe that all the times in my life when I felt inner strength it was because of preparation.
(aware + prepare + prayer = strength)

I've been thinking a lot about the phrase "follow your heart" I don't believe in following my heart. I feel more secure about making decisions based on facts rather than feelings. Your heart can lead you astray. I used to believe in following my heart until I realized that I've made too many choic... Comment - Like

What is your motivation today?
People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it daily.

I'm going to start blogging again. I felt lonely without my written words. I have carved out a space. I have a tiny room to let out all the words that I kept imprisoned inside me. I felt my words were too silly, uninspiring, bashful, not poignant enough. I didn't just hush that inner negative ... Comment - Like

Rules For Being Human
You will receive a body.
You may like it or hate it,
but it's yours to keep
for the entire period.
You will learn lessons.
You are enrolled in a full-time,
informal school called life.
There are no mistakes, only lessons.
Growth is a process of trial, error

Dear Brent:
You are growing up so fast. When you turned twelve on September 26th, I felt as if those twelve years were just like a dream. You are on the cusp of being a teen. I want to let you know my hopes and dreams for you. I love you Brent, as each day passes my love for you grows stronger. ... Comment - Like

Who pursuaded your heart to let go of it's dreams?
Who tempted you into a world of trudging along
without aspirations. You then began to believe that your life
didn't really matter.
Who laughed in your face when you shared your passions?
You let your dreams die at your feet. No memorials, no trib... Comment - Like

When we focus on the negativity in the world, we are not able to take a pro-active stance. Let your eyes open to the goodness that exists in the world. There is peace that exists when we choose it. Be inspired, be uplifted, be blessed and be grateful!

You are stronger than you have yourself believe. You get stronger with every obstacle you encounter.
Please promise yourself you will not allow negativity to cast a shadow on your day.
I encourage you to seek out people who lift you up so you can get a better view.
I wish for you to believe the wo... Comment - Like

I spent Thanksgiving at my sister's house. It was very comforting to be with family. I had been going through a rough period of time and needed to see a room full of warmth, tenderness and welcoming.
We went around the table and spoke about what we were thankful for. I was in a real funk because of... Comment - Like

I don't like to make a list of crappy resolutions that I'm sure to break. I remember past resolutions and feel like a failure because I didn't keep up the promises I vowed to myself.

This is a picture of Victor. He passed away on his birthday December 29th, two years ago today. He is my boyfriend's father. I met him in the hospital, when cancer first came into his life. He had lung cancer and as scary as this was, we had hope.
