Shopping with sis

My sis and I went out shopping for a couple hours at a new Goodwill and we found some great items! We enjoyed eachothers encouraging conversation and helping pick out the best items. My sis is sweet and fun to shop with, there were several ladies who loved how we talked and complimented us for being ourselves. My total budget was $20 we came out combined to spend only $15. My sis is my Best friend forever! We have many things in common... I am very blessed to know my little sister!! Here is a photograph of my sister and I visiting on one of our recent shopping trips in Winter 2010...

Writing

Writing is wonderful to me. I understand myself more when I write. When I later read what I wrote back to myself I am truly inspired. Although not all of my writing is inspirational it does tell me many things I expect of myself. I expect a lot of myself as many people I have met. I stop to think, when thoughts pop into my head that makes me sad, angry or otherwise un-grateful for the wonders my life holds. Soon after I get to realize that stress in my life only holds me if I let it. Yes, it may get you down but no one and nothing has the power to hold you down if you remember the best that life has to offer. Do what you would if you were going to die in 6 months. To me that means start to do anything for a combination of relaxation, adventure and fun. Why do I write? Just for the reminiscing of good in my mind or to remember the good when I'm feeling down. What do you do to help you? Inspiration:

Encourage

Hugs and Kisses from family is wonderful encouragement! We loved it when my neices K. and R. visited us when our baby was only 1 week old.


Encouragement is a great way of loving one another.

God encourages us to live to love.

Consistent words of encouragement is needed for the human mind.

Every kind of positive encouragement is essential for children to know.

Encourage is part of a Love languages: Positive Touch and Words of Affirmation

A month old already!

Our son is one month today! It seems like just yesterday he was only a week old (like seen in the photograph on the right with his cousin K. holding him). It is exciting to watch and see how children change through different stages of their lives.  I am at a new stage of life now.  Working to balance my life, creating my ultimate goal of enjoying each day as a gift from god. 

Now for something new...to help learn my Art Life I want to ask...

Can you help?

• My dad is having a hernia surgery this Friday... please pray for him
• Read any good books, what are they?  
• Watch an inspirational show or movie and please let me know (I loved watching/reading Joel Osteen yesterday)
• I need help with my daughter's outrageous behavior... what discipline methods work for you?
• Did you get to look at my website? Do you have any comments and ideas? (Check out the changes since yesterday) I simplified my website Art Life; I am still adding keywords and creating Artwork.

God Bless You and Yours,

We are moving this month!



On to new horizons....
