This is the last post before my update. I’m going to make it short and sweet.

Kita from Say What You Wanna had me thinking about a theme song for my life when she mentioned it in her post about New Beginnings.

While I can’t say it’s my life’s theme song, this is one of the many songs that resonates with me. I have a caring personality, and will usually go out my way to help someone. I can’t read minds, so if they make it known, I’ll do what ever it is that I could.  [Continue reading...]

Back in June, I wrote a post about telling the truth about fictional characters: Santa, Tooth Fairy, Easter Bunny, and if I was seriously deciding to encourage the fictional characters.

I think now I’ve come to a conclusion (which is subject to change as Zee gets older). I am not going to discourage her imagination.

In this world, we choose to believe in something: actual justice, pursuit of happiness, trickle down effect, so who am I to take that away from her?  [Continue reading...]

Yesterday, I could not bring myself to go online. Not sure if it was the never-ending gift wrapping that has my head spinning. Maybe it’s my daughter’s constant screaming in the morning, “It’s Christmas!” or the hidden scraps of wrapping paper that makes its way everywhere that of course has to be attached to tape.

I would like to think it’s because I’m resting up for the upcoming changes, and Christmas, but I know that’s not the case. I just didn’t have it in me yesterday.  [Continue reading...]

Dear Lord,

Thank you for making me.

It doesn’t matter if my lips are too full, or the curves of my thighs. Not even my dress size. I am who I am because you made me unique.

There are times when I fall prey to thoughts of wishing for things that I do not have, but I need to remind myself that everything I have now is a gift.

When I look into that mirror Lord, not one word of disdain will leave my mouth. I will praise what I see, because what you made was good.  [Continue reading...]

I think that it’s time I changed the layout of my blog. I want the new year to mean more than resolutions to me, I want to see a change. I want to be the change.

I’ve enlisted Mr. C’s help with some of the coding for the new look that I am working on. Since programming is what he does for a living I know it should be easy for him, but I don’t want to burden him with my blog (he already has me for a wife–I can [sometimes] be impossible as a client).  [Continue reading...]
