Storm...

"We are what we believe we are."

C.S. Lewis

I've had a rough couple of weeks and tonight I feel weary. Just SO tired of the struggle. I know the conclusion to this story is almost over but the storm gets strong at times and is hard to stand tall and wait it out ~To wait for what you know is on the other side... 

So tonight I'm going to bed believing I am a strong, beautiful, confident, loving woman who deserves the best the Universe has to offer!

Mentor...

Everyone in life should be assigned a mentor while growing up if you don't have one. Wouldn't it be wonderful to have a register to be able to sign up if you need one and receive your very own mentor to help you in your life. For me, not growing up with anyone to really be there to guide me, answer questions, boost my confidence, be my cheerleader, serve as a role model, I've found it hard so many times in my life to move forward and try thing or be adventurous. I have this beautiful woman helping me, guiding me, nudging me ever so gentle, and just being my genuine friend and it is truly wonderful. It's hard to describe what it feels like to have someone do that for you, when it's something they don't have to do. To give of themselves so lovingly to benefit another... a gift that is priceless!

Simple...

"If you ever hope to arrive in your life, you have to arrive in this moment."

Sometimes life is just that simple! Be present, arrive in this moment! I get caught up in thinking there is so much more I need to do. That somehow it has to be more complicated then that. I like the saying 

"Sometimes less is best." I'm a really simple woman but my mind can get very complicated. I strive to and continue to arrive in this moment - that's all - just that simple!

My Baby...

Another birthday is upon us. My baby turns eighteen today! The passing years leave me in awe of how fast it seems to go by. My daughter has grown to a wonderful young woman. She loves life and is so funny and adventurous. Who knew when I named her it would not even begin to encompass all that she is. I look forward to watching her life continue to unfold and will be forever grateful I'm available to be a participant in her life. 

Happy Birthday My "Lovey"... Love Mom
