So I missed yesterday's entry. Oh well, did I mention that my new goal in life is just to get a passing grade? If I can do something 70% of the time I am going to feel really good about it! I figure that is way better than getting so frustrated I missed the 3rd night that I just give up and quit journaling that month all together. That is way less ( Read more... )

It was a good day. Little was expected, much was accomplished. I chatted with Josie and tickled her. I ate breakfast with Taryn. I connected with Byron and helped him work through not feeling loved. I hope he felt loved at the end of our conversation and hug. I snuggled Manning after he fell asleep. And I took the opportunity to just hold him, talk ( Read more... )

Every day this month I am going to journal. It will all be here. I type so much faster than I write. Plus, that way I can keep tabs on myself and see my posting progress ( Read more... )

We all have something that we love, something that we are passionate about. Sometimes we fan the flames of passion and throw ourselves into this love, and other times we forget and the passion dies even if the actions remain the same. For some passion and work meet, others pursue passion on the weekend and through hobbies. Karalee has a passion for ( Read more... )

That is what I was taught about today. By the Spirit and by the cd's my mom lent to me. I've been struggling recently. With many things, for many reasons, to learn many lessons. This was one of them. I have had a worldly focus, even when it came to repenting. God has remembered my sins no more, because I have genuinely repented for them. Yet I ( Read more... )

I have had a lot of information flow my way about being present, mindful. Very thought provoking kinds of things. What does it mean to live in the present? I think that has a lot to do with learning how to BE. I don't think that you can be if you are living in the past or future. Just doesn't work out ( Read more... )

Last night before I went to sleep I just wanted to skip my birthday all together. I was feeling cranky! Then I got 2 1/2 hours sleep! And I am feeling much better. Steve got up to help me feed Josie while I finished pumping. Then he brought me my midnight snack! Feeling even better! Then he kissed me and wished me a Happy Birthday! It's off to a ( Read more... )

I feel as if I'm always starving. . . for something. Sleep, food, or connection! Currently in the middle of the night I am more starved for food than sleep, so I have a minute while I wolf down a yogurt, a cheese stick, a granola bar and a fruit leather ( Read more... )

So tonight I spent! Possibly more than I should have. But I have felt this choke hold on my spending. It's bad! I had a couple of physical reactions to spending tonight. I can feel my heart race, or stop. It is kind of silly when I think about it. It can't be telling the universe "I'M RICH! Give me more money!" I think those panicky feelings tell ( Read more... )

Reading the Nienie Dialogues. Why you might ask? Because getting a glimpse into her life is certainly more fun than paying my bills. Besides, you should see my house. I rocked it out on Saturday, and still had time for a date with the love of my life! Seriously! I don't remember the last time my house looked this good, and it is staying that way. ( Read more... )
