Writing and Feeling :)

Sometimes writing is my way to sort out feelings

Ive never been great at speaking how I feel at

the exact moment I feel it

writing helps that

writing is a gentle reminder that I can

be totally real and say exactly what I feel

it is very freeing for me

i thank everyone for taking the time

to read what I write

even if sometimes

it makes no sense

I hope everyone understands that

we all have faults but we can all

strive to be better and to make the

journey a more truthful experience

and feel it

it is okay!!

I feel GREAT things coming!!

Isabella's Rainbow

Last week was a hard week for me. One thing God continues to show me is that self pity will get you nowhere. Everytime I go to the "victim" place in my mind, God gently reminds me of what is important.

Two weeks ago today, my friend Emma from high school lost her 7 year old daughter. That is real sadness and heartache. Nothing I have gone through lately would come close to the pain Emma and her husband Ed are feeling as they miss Isabella.

The day Isabella passed, TN had a beautiful rainbow. Very vivid colors. Her parents wrote that it was Isabella painting in Heaven. I am going to repost the pictures I took and rename it Isabella's rainbow. Lets let Isabella teach us how blessed we are. Please keep Emma and Ed in your prayers as they miss the presence of their angel.

Today I am

I am saddened by a comment from Emma. Emma said "I need botox on my forehead because it frowns when I move it"....I have never had botox and the fact that my 8 year old thinks it is an option for her disturbs me. I guess it is a sign of the times. I just explained to her that she had no wrinkles on her face and her face is beautiful.

I hope to instill in my girls the fact that beauty shines from the inside. Being real and being open, knowing who you are and what you stand for, these are things that bring beauty. It is sad I have to compete with so many media images of perfect women.

I hope they let God shine through them. They are beautiful and so are YOU!!!

LOVE this....

My Mamaw

My mamaw sat on the swing in the back yard

and looked at the clouds

I talked about the shapes looking

like dogs and cats

she listened to me

the little dreamer

she encouraged me

to

keep looking to the sky

I miss her everyday
