Great days!!

I have been having two really great days....which is weird considering that Ash moved away on the first really good day. (this is Ash below, I miss you!!!) I have felt so happy and at peace with my life. I taught a great dance power class last night and even started to sweat in my second class when I caught a second wind and stepped it up a bit. Why would this be out of the norm you may ask??

Well, for the past month a lot has happened and most of it quite upsetting. I really was heartbroken to learn of friends ending marriages, friends moving and change occurring-hurtful things happening and hate and fear ruling over people who are dear to me. I became a bit too in it... So, I am jumping out of it and shaking it off, with quite a bit of daily meditation, and reacquainting myself with a dear friend that I had lost contact with. I feel so good!!! Do something good for yourself, you deserve it!! I am going to eat some potato salad and steak with my sister, Julie(who unknowingly just took all her good maternity clothes,with her bad maternity clothes, to DI and is just sick about it...because #1 they weren't all hers and #2 she is pregnant right now.... Yikes!).I just wanted to spread the love, peace happiness and joy.....

Baby boy is three!!

Happy birthday to You!!!! Our little man is finally three and as mischievous as ever. He had a party at the park with a great big cake-which he didn't really eat-and lots of cousins. We had a good time and he was as cute as ever blowing out the candle as soon as we lit it. Here are some pictures just for fun!!

Wow.... Family reunion!!




So, it is official, I am a part time blogger! There has been so much going on I don't have time to sit and blog. Summer is my favorite, but busiest time of the year. We just got back from a family reunion I will not soon forget. We went camping at Baumgartner, it's just past pine and featherville. It was so fun. there is a hot pool and they drain it every night so they don't have to put any chemicals in it. There is a play ground, nature trails a big fast river and lots of bull snakes!! I even saw one run over on the road that hardly anyone was driving on, Lots of snakes!! Here are some fun pictures of us all camping....

Summer time...Finally



I just have to say I love the summertime!! People are having garage sales, kids are selling lemonade and eating Ice cream. Yum!!
Cleaning, eating, and dejunking are some very main themes around here as well. I am so excited to have a fresh clean house and with that comes a fresh clean perspective.

Fear and love

I want to talk of the two most powerful things in my life. One is fear, the other love.
Fear because it keeps me from who I am. It stops me in my tracks and grips me so tight that I can't move at times. I see it in my children when they do something new or differently than I taught them to. It can kill, it can take, it can hurt. Fear is the reason we are at war. Fear is the reason we scream when we are alone and in the dark...
Love is the opposite. Love is the light. Love helps me find out who I am . It helps me embrace each new day with excitement and hope. Love holds me tight and then helps me find my path, even in dark times. Love is a good friend, a neighbor, a sister, a child. Love holds so much for us. It helps us find what we didn't even know we were missing to make our lives better. Love is the warm glow of the sun, the water all around us. It nourishes and strengthens as it enters our lives. Love is the answer to everything.
Today I want to love more and fear less. I want to take the chances I wouldn't have yesterday. I want to be hopeful, happy and full of the warm light of the sun. I want you to know that I love you.
