Learn to color again..

A very nice friend introduced me to Dani Johnson this past week. She’s been all over the TV and web, so you may have already heard of her. Monday, I listened to this webinar live at 10pm through her site. I would have liked her more if she had not sounded like she was yelling at me for most of the call.. lol.. but WOW! She really struck some tender spots in my armor. I realized as I listened to her that too many times I’ve “felt” the victim, and too many times I’ve “allowed” that to be my excuse to not do something that could really make a difference in my life or in my family's life. I listened to other people tell me I couldn't do something. I listened when they told me it didn't work for them.. so why would the outcome be any different for me? Many times I listened, but most of the time, I was the one who stopped myself. Her coaching is for anyone, choosing to do anything in their life. I hope you find value in listening to her.. and no matter WHAT you choose to do or be.. be a good one!

I use to LOVE to color…

One of the funniest "Mother's Day" stories I've ever heard

Life has been busy with working.. kids.. family.. and just plain life. But, in honor of Mother's Day, I wanted to share one of the funniest 'Mother's Day' stories I've ever read. This one REALLY struck home because not only do we have two cats, but Max was about two at the time I read this and was in love with our awesome Sun Shades lip balm. Needless to say.. he was given his very own to keep track of, and I hid the rest.

PRICELESS!!!! :-)

***********************************************************************************
> We had this great 10 year old cat named Jack who just recently died.
>Jack was a great cat and the kids would carry him around and sit on him and
>nothing ever bothered him. He used to hang out and nap all day long on this
>mat in our bath room.
>
>Well, we have 3 kids and at the time of this story they were 4 years old, 3
>years old and 1 year old. The middle one is Eli. Eli really loves
>chapstick. LOVES it. He kept asking to use my chapstick and then losing it.
>So finally one day I showed him where in the bathroom I keep my chapstick
>and how he could use it whenever he wanted to but he needed to put it right
>back in the drawer when he was done.
>
>Last year on Mother's Day, we were having the typical rush around and try
>to get ready for Church with everyone crying and carrying on. My two boys
>are fighting over the toy in the cereal box. I am trying to nurse my little
>one at the same time I am putting on my make-up. Everything is a mess and
>everyone has long forgotten that this is a wonderful day to honor me and
>the amazing job that is motherhood.
>
>We finally have the older one and the baby loaded in the car and I am
>looking for Eli. I have searched everywhere and I finally round the corner
>to go into the bathroom. And there was Eli. He was applying my chapstick
>very carefully to Jack's . . rear end. Eli looked right into my eyes and
>said "chapped." Now if you have a cat, you know that he is right- -their
>little butts do look pretty chapped. And, frankly, Jack didn't seem to
>mind.
>
>And the only question to really ask at that point was whether it was the
>FIRST time Eli had done that to the cat's behind or the hundredth.
>
>And THAT is my favorite Mother's Day moment ever because it reminds us that
>no matter how hard we try to civilize these glorious little creatures,
>there will always be that day when you realize they've been using your
>chapstick on the cat's butt.
>
>Happy Mother's Day!


May the only tears you shed this Mother's Day be tears of joy.
