Preach It

People spend too much time finding other people to blame too much energy finding excuses for not being what they are capable of being, and not enough energy putting themselves on the line, growing out of the past and getting on with their lives.

Happy Anniversary

Three years ago today I stood and made vows to my husband and to his two beautiful babies. I take those vows to our family very serious and am so thankful God has blessed our beautiful union. It's easy to make bold commitments and declarations of love when things are great, but only in the darkness and times of trouble does true love and commitment shine brightest. I feel so very blessed and have so much to be thankful for. Happy Anniversary Jay, I love you and our family with all of my heart. My commitment to us and love for you has never waivered. I love you!










Touched by an Angel


We, unaccustomed to courage
exiles from delight
live coiled in shells of loneliness
until love leaves its high holy temple
and comes into our sight
to liberate us into life.


Love arrives
and in its train come ecstasies
old memories of pleasure
ancient histories of pain.
Yet if we are bold,
love strikes away the chains of fear
from our souls


We are weaned from our timidity
In the flush of love's light
we dare be brave
And suddenly we see
that love costs all we are
and will ever be.
Yet it is only love
which sets us free

Although I am sorely disappointed in many of the outcomes, I am glad I had a vote and exercised my chance to make a difference.

Happy Halloween

What a happy time it was! Last week the kids had their trick or trunk at school, we had a great party that we hosted at our house with family and friends, and then Halloween night we joined some more friends for a great night with lots of fun for the kids. Yes, one of my favorite times of the year is over but we made the most of it and I am now looking forward to more warm holidays with the people I love.

Love It

Integrity

“It's not what we eat but what we digest that makes us strong; not what we gain but what we save that makes us rich; not what we read but what we remember that makes us learned; and not what we profess but what we practice that gives us integrity.”
