My daughter’s1st day of school…Kindergarten!!

Posted on 08/27/2011 by admin

So today was my daughter’s first day of Kindergarten, holy cow, when did this happen?! I was teary eyed all morning long, but when we got to school, there was so much commotion it kept my mind busy, so yay!

How cute is she at her little blue table?

It was so hard to walk away and leave here there, but I knew I HAD to do it. Besides she wanted to stay, only Mommy was the weak one:)

Anyway, we had a great morning, she was so excited. I kept telling her that we needed to have “positive thoughts” about school and then it would go well. She said “Mommy, I want to tell Heavenly Father (what we call the divine power) that I am grateful for starting school.” How awesome are kids?!! Continue reading →

I had a two hour layover in MN twice this past week and after two and a half hours of flight time, twice in a day, I needed the lay over!

Kids like it too!

Posted on 08/25/2011 by admin

My daughter has been begging to try the Shakeology for months and so I decided to let her today. She starts school tomorrow and goes in the afternoon so honestly this will be great for her to drink on the way as it will keep her full for her entire 3 hours of kindergarten. Here it is!

Have a good day!

A pet peeve with public bathrooms!

Posted on 08/24/2011 by admin

OK it’s time to share one of my little pet peeves I have when it comes to public rest rooms. Other then finding a wet toilet seat when walking in (heard of wiping it down?!) I have a toilet paper pet peeve. My friend Terry at My Journey with Candida would totally agree!

One last good bye:(

Posted on 08/24/2011 by admin

I have not been posting in about a week. So many emotions have gone through me and I have sat with a blank stare at the computer, as nothing seemed oh so important, other then my Aunt J.

When you have to say good bye to someone that means so much to you, life seems to sit at a “stand still.” Well, for me it does.

It was about a week and a half ago that I called to check in on her and did not get the news I anticipated. She was admitted to the hospital and not coming out.

We knew the melanoma would take her eventually but after a clean bill of health, well as clean as it could be, back in April, we really did not expect it so soon.

Emotions roared and I knew that I HAD to go see her, come hell or high water.

With just about $20 in the bank and plane tickets just over $1,000, this seemed almost impossible. It was time to put my positive thinking and positive law of attraction to work. I told my other aunt, we will call her A, that I WAS coming and that was it.

This is how it played out. Continue reading →

Redirecting my nervous energy.

Posted on 08/17/2011 by admin

I am gearing up to head out of the country, to Canada, to visit my Aunt. Sadly it will be the last time I see her and I am absolutely heart broken about it.

For the first couple of days I sat and cried, and cried, and cried. I felt horrible, of course, and I really believe I needed that couple of days, but now it is time to be happy and think  of all the wonderful things I have had with her.

She is an amazing person and has influenced me a lot in so many positive ways. She is an Author, a Mother, an Aunt, and just an all around wonderful person.

So as I sit back and look at the past year and a half on my journey to health I realize that making my nervous energy, while I wait to see her, to keep me up, instead of down, is going to be key. Continue reading →
