Dust off the Cobwebs....

Wow, I am on deadline!!! That is a phrase that crossed my lips all the time when I was a working woman. It has been a long time since I was under the pressure of a real deadline! I am working with a good friend of mine to edit a bible study she has written. She has a speaking engagement and needs revisions in a publishable state by Monday! Whooo, the adrenaline is pumping! I have no quiet time, I am sharing my computer with my kids, and I have no Creative Services department to create templates, graphics, etc..... this is living wild! It is amazing how being reminded of what we are capable of refreshes the spirit! When your gifts lie dormant, they can get lazy, but just like muscle memory in your body, your brain can get it's sharpness back too, it just takes exercise! What gifts have you shoved in the back drawer while you tended to diaper changes, and grocery shopping? Do you need to dust some skills off, find a use for them, and give yourself a little reminder of what you are capable of ? I have a feeling that you have some some amazing gift that your are keeping to yourself. What are yours?

Networking can be expensive!

I went to a cool women's networking meeting the other night. It was with an organization called Heartlink . It was at some one's house. An awesome dinner was served. Tables set, lovely hospitality, and about 20 very interesting women were there. We each got 3 minutes to introduce ourselves and tell a bit about our business's. Most of the women knew each other already. Many of the women present had business's that sell through direct marketing. Most of the big ones were represented, and a few new ones I had never heard of but found interesting. There were also women with other business's like insurance, legal services, printing, etc... It is great to meet like minded people, and I can definitely see the benefits of attending regularly. The bad part however, is it leaves you wanting to go shopping! All of a sudden, I MUST have the new mango cutter from Pampered Chef, and I am yearning to freshen up my candles, and I NEED a hole new wardrobe from CABi . ...

The Sky is Blue

I want to thank all of you who lift my family up in prayer. I thank all of you who give us encouragement. I try really hard to see the cup 1/2 full, and most days I do. I was feeling a little down last night, but today is a new day. Blue skies remind me of how much I am loved. Have an awesome day friends. And.....on a side note.... Go Viewpoint Patriots!!! We are in the playoffs! Wooo Hoooooo!

I believe

I believe....... That marriage is a lifetime gig That it is up to us to take care of those in need, through families, churches, relationships, etc... That family is serious business, parenthood is a gift, a treasure, something to take dead dog serious. That I have a right, and a responsibility to protect my family and those who can't protect themselves, from would be criminals, and anyone else who is attempting to infringe on our rights as stated in our constitution. I believe that without faith in God, and a conscious decision to submit to him, people are lost in a pool of ever changing self centered nonsense, and are subject to what ever the politically correct, hip, educated mantra of the year is. Stuff is awesome, shiny cars, flashy jewels, exotic vacations, are all delightful--- for a little while--then when the shiny wears off, and the financial impact starts hurting--- the result is damage to the most important thing--- family, and submission to God.
