Christmas, Christmas, I LOVE Christmas!

Good Morning! Hope everyone is having a great day so far! I have a busy, busy, one ahead. First I have to fix my hair..... ok, so if you read yesterday, you know I decided to make a change because I am mucho bored with my look. Soooo, I decided to go auburn. Well, yesterday I looked like a punk rocker Raggedy Ann doll. It was fun, but not something I could live with everyday. I decided to go darker, and I did....much darker. So today, I will wash a few times, pray for a little fading, and figure out how to do make up with red hair. So much for my hair adventures.

All is good. I am thrilled to have gotten both a Christmas Card, and a party invite from two separate neighbors yesterday. What an awesome community Chatsworth Lake Manor is. I love it here. I have invited some friends over for a dinner/cookie making evening. My husband comes home in 6 days, whoo hoo! My sister is picking up more of the driving today, so I can look forward to about 2 less hours spent in my car today, wooo hooo! Doesn't get much better than that.

I hope everyone is enjoying the season. I hope you are breathing in the pine, and enjoying old Christmas movies, baking with your kids, spending intentional time with friends and family. This season is such an incredible reminder of what is important in life. It isn't the lights, and the gifts, and the sparkle...although they sure do add to the magic of the season, but love. What a beautiful way to celebrate the birth of Jesus. May your stress be minimal, your laughs be loud, and your time with family and friends amazing. Till next time!

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!

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 . ...

Believing isn't so hard

Why do I believe what I can't see? That is a valid question. I get it from well intentioned people just trying to understand our differences I guess. I'll try to answer as best as I can. The college years especially, are a time of exploration. We think in a less inhibited way. We behave in a less inhibited way. We ponder, and process, and get emotional about issues we think are important. It is definitely an important step in the process of maturing. I too, explored, pondered, got emotional, and was uninhibited. I remember especially being passionate about the right to a woman's choice. I never took the idea of abortion lightly. I held the hands of a few friends along the way, as they made that very difficult choice. I praise God that I was never faced with that decision, I am not sure what I would have done at that stage of my life. I would like to think I would have chosen life, but I can't say for sure. I don't believe that ab...
