Good Times with Familia

My sister and I had dinner with our Aunt Linda last night. I so wish we had thought to take a picture. We haven't seen one another for many years. We were all giggling trying to figure it out, it's been a long time. Well, I am pretty sure she sleeps in a chryogenic chamber, because she looks exactly the same as she did last time I saw her and it has been at least 10 years. Gorgeous. It was so awesome, we are all three linked by people we love, who aren't with us any more, but still make us laugh, and cry, and tell funny stories. It was one of those moments when I am reminded of how important it is to make time for those moments. To take a deep breath, say STOP to the business of everyday life, clear the schedule, and make it work. It is worth it. It is fun to be around someone who remembers you as a kid. Life is busy, life can be stressful, but it is so, so, good.

Can you believe this woman is in her 60's!!! Aunt Linda, looks AMAZING!!

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.
