how does it feel to be the person looking in from outside
you may not notice them
They know how to survive
It takes some time to see the look
of sadness on their face
Some never notice the eyes
they never offer grace
Once the look is spotted
it can be found everywhere
all it takes is peace and kindness
to get rid of despair

Hidden Sun

Sunlight is proof
there is light
behind every cloud
even if we can't
see past the cloud
it will eventually move
and
there will be light
again

How Things Change

Time always changes

some things heal in

time

some things stay the

same

some things never heal

but change in appearance

and how we see different

situations

the best thing

is to listen and

feel what is right

what feels peaceful

the path that brings

beauty and love

Little Bunny

Too many pics of me!!! I had to add one of someone much cuter!

Cara came home from a birthday part looking like this. She said "I am a bunny, I need a carrot"...

Spring Memories

Hi!!!

On this lovely spring day, I have been thinking about my happy spring memories from childhood. Here are a few.....

My mamaw let me plant my first zinnia in her flower bed. She had such a green thumb and her little white house was always beautifully decorated with flowers...even my Daddy would brag on her for her talent. I miss her.

I remember my mothers pretty sandals, she had all different kinds. She had flip flops and fancy sandals. I would play in them and stand in front of the mirror. :)

Spring clothes were always fun. Much lighter and I hated coats.

Going to the park, Opryland, the amusement park and fun places with Daddy when he picked me up for visitation on Monday nights. I LOVED it. I got to be a princess once a week. :)

I was always terrified of spring storms because of the tornados (without an e on this one Kim) so, Mama would sit on the porch with me and "watch" the storm. This helped me get over most of the fear. I now do this with Emma. She is so scared of the storms.

As I got older, I loved doing the flower bed by our driveway. I did most of it myself. It was great for me because I have always been drawn to color....

My daddy bought a vacation condo on the beach when I was in high school, he would take my friends and I to Florida every spring. It was sooooo fun!!!

These are just some fun memories I have. Would anyone like to share some memories???

My writing

I love to write and I love to help people. I sometimes write from what may seem like a place of confusion. Writing helps me sort out my thoughts. I don't always like the things I write, paint or say. I get very irritated with myself sometimes.

We all just have to keep learning. Living life gives us all the great opportunity to start every day anew. :)

Okay....on a lighter note....the other night I asked Kyle if he wanted Taste of China for dinner and Emma looked up and said "what did you say about a vagina"? I think I am wayyyyy to southern!

Enjoying your gifts!!

As women

we tend to compare ourselves

with others

sometimes dwelling on

our shortcomings instead

of our very

unique personal gifts

if we were all alike

life would be boring

we are all a different array

of colors and styles

made to work together

for good

to form a

beautiful rainbow

EMBRACE individuality-

You are made to be you!
