Finally Happy #thisis38

For years I worked and worked. For years I cried on the inside mostly, on the outside some. I thought if I just did more of X added some of Z and less of Y, that I would be better in no time. I spent years of therapy, years of journaling (blogging), reading self care

Long Time #thisis38

I realized yesterday that I haven’t posted in awhile. It’s not because I have nothing to say, it’s because life is going to swimmingly that I just haven’t. Since the kids got back to school, I’ve been back to work. Professional grocery shopping that it #shiptlife. I’m earning a living for my family while being

Lucky In Love #Thisis38

” I’m lucky I’m in love with my best friend Lucky to have been where I have been”   Thank you Jason Mraz As I was giving my husband a kiss goodbye this morning, all I could think of was I am so lucky. Here are just a few of the reasons! He supports me!  I

To My Husband on His Birthday #Thisis38

Well, today my husband turns 39. I met him when he was 31 and have been here for all 8 birthdays since. Birthday’s aren’t a big to-do in our home. We try to do experiences, not a lot of gifts. Well tomorrow we will go out to dinner with my parents, my sister and her

Dust #Thisis38

Back To School #Thisis38

Today is the first day of school for our youngest 3 children.  Which means summer has come to an end and was wrapped up in a pretty little bow yesterday. My dream, my summer with the kids was everything that I ever could have hoped for!  I have high hopes that the pieces of work

Co-Parenting #Thisis38

My Timehop this morning is the inspiration for this post. Maybe what we decided to do on this day 8 years ago was setting us on the right path!  The path of respectful co-parenting.  Co-parenting done right.  The kind of co-parenting where we get compliments and kudos all the time. Maybe this, this right here

Our Final Days of Summer #Thisis38

We have just a a few days left of summer and we are certainly making the most of it. Yesterday we used our last 2 Groupons.  We spent an hour at Airtime where the kids bounced around, played dodge ball and basketball.  Then we moved onto Marvin’s Marvelous Mechanical Museum.  An arcade with both old

Trust #Thisis38

In keeping with the same theme from the last 2 days, my Devotional today was once again about Gossip. Really crazy to me that this all happened on the same week that I gave a professional development training on Gossip that I wrote.  Always amazes me how when your eyes are open to seeing it,

TRUTH #Thisis38

I had the honor of doing a training for about 40 Elementary school teachers yesterday.  We spoke about Gossip and Staff Communication. It is always crazy to me when so many things in your life line up.  Coincidentally my Devotion for yesterday and today were under that same theme.  Yesterday was “The Value of Truth-Telling”
