Figuring Me Out

Figuring Me Out

Sometimes, as women we get lost in our relationships... lost in all the roles we assume on a daily basis. I know I've posted a couple of times recently about who I am and perhaps you all are getting tired of reading about my process of figuring me out, but ...

Potty Training? Um, No.

Potty Training? Um, No.

Zoe has developed a nasty little habit. She will "boo boo" and then decide immediately that she wants nothing to do with her diaper. So she takes it off. Imagine a 20 month old professional climber making her way up the side of my executive desk with a huge grin ...

How To Change the World

How To Change the World

This morning, I saw a tweet about Saddleback's online campus. For those who are unaware, Saddleback church was created by Rick Warren using his amazing church model, which is wrote about in his book Purpose Driven Church which now is an official ministry of Saddleback Church and actually has its ...

There Snow Place Like Home

There Snow Place Like Home

Yesterday morning, it started snowing... well flurry-ing... In Louisiana, that's a major deal. We can just about run around in shorts all winter. It gets cold for about 10 minutes and then it's summer all of a sudden. There's no fall and no spring. LOL Here is a photo of ...

My Girls :)

My Girls :)

When the kids miss the bus, I often use our time stuck in the car line to snap a few shots of them before school. Here are a few of Avalyn, Talia, and Briyana from a few days ago:

Fibromyalgia, Tumors, and Me

Fibromyalgia, Tumors, and Me

I've had a surprising amount of dialog lately about Fibromyalgia. I have to say it's refreshing to have so many people know what it is... and relate to me. Being diagnosed 18 years ago, I grew up accepting that I had a disorder that no one understood - that many ...

Jealousy and Dreams {Life}

Jealousy and Dreams {Life}

I can't honestly say I don't get knots in my stomach when I listen to some of the newest music artists. Having a singing career has always been my dream, but as life would have it - I've had no real opportunities to pursue it... I sometimes am jealous that ...

The Me That I Am

The Me That I Am

With life as busy as it is, I admit there normally aren't many chances throughout the weeks to stop and seriously consider who I am... or what I am doing. I'm one of those people who - no matter how much I try to plan and schedule - typically ends ...

POEM: Lord, I’m Trying…

POEM:
Lord, I’m reaching… I’m here for you to save.
Please! I’m trying to find a brighter day.
Oh, God, I’m failing to make it my own way.
Father, I’m pleading the blood over my case…
I’m standing on the edge and looking out
Wondering if I fall, who’ll save me from the ground?
Well, here I am… dutiful, obedient, and staring down
Into a world that never wanted me around.
Life can be …

POEM: Goodnight, little cousin… rest in peace!

As short as life is, its lessons are long
We learn good from bad, and right from wrong
We take some things for granted; others, we prize
We say hello and sometimes too quickly, goodbye
We go through the motions, grind out the beat
We dance to life’s rhythm; we taste bitters and sweets
Life takes us on highs… and crashes to lows
But through all the trials, we’re eager for …

How do you go from hatred to acceptance?
From ‘I can’t’ to ‘I can do this’?
How can you love without forgiveness?
And let go with no resentment?
How can emotions be relinquished?
Harbored grudges be not remembered?
Can you repair a heart that’s tender?
Or walk away from one you’ve befriended?
Life can be so crazy how endings
Tend to be pathway for beginnings
That you never pictured those things bringing
one day you find …

What happened…
…to values…and morals…and kindness?
…to our priorities and ambitions?
…to our goals…our hopes…our dreams?
…to doing what’s right just because it’s the right thing to do?
…to standing up for what you believe, and being respected for doing so?
…to placing more importance on family than on self?
…to generosity…to loyalty…to dignity?
…to fidelity…to encouragement…to rationality?
…to the peace that passes understanding?
…to the love that knows no boundary?
…to sanctity…and positivity…and happiness?
…to faith…and …

Why do ignorant people
always tend to think they are the wisest??
Always tend to believe their opinions are the most valuable;
hold the most weight.
People are out of their minds these days!
Don’t try to push your idiocy on me…
the longer I listen, the stupider I become.
Get out of here PLEASE
All your education
and you still can’t touch me intellectually.
All your experience
and you still can’t rise above my mentality.
All …
