Thank you Jack Frost

I have a love/love relationship with snow. From the time I see the first snow flake I start to get excited. Snow to me means slowing down, warm blankets, snuggles, snow angels, and playing with my little snow bean...who LIVES for snow.

Oh Universe...You Stalker!!!

So..the Universe has been stalking me. Things keep happening that are clearly God's way of nudging me to make some changes in my life. Why is that he always has to do that. I never seem to just "get the hint." God reaches me through emotional tidal waves! I guess God knows me :).

Maybe it's that I am getting wiser (doubtful) or maybe its just that I am getting less dense (more probable), but I seem to finally be getting a handle on what I want - personally. Professionally, it hasn't been as difficult. I seem to navigate that world with a fair amount of clarity and purpose; however, my personal life has been another story. I am finally starting to realize that it is ok for what you really want to be different than what you thought you always wanted. I don't know why...but, that has been really difficult for me to let go of.

God has woken me up...and I hope He continues to not give up on me....because...well...I need it!

May God's Blessings Be With You Today,
Em

Holy Smokes Batman...I've Got It!

B@NG! POW! KAZAM!

Wow. It took me way too long to figure out this whole "header" and "gadget" deal. Blog world is full of tenacious obstacles to overcome and battles that must be won. Um perhaps that is a bit dramatic, but I think my layout is at least presentable at this point.

To 2011- Rock My World!

Last night I had dinner with a wonderful old friend at an old restaurant. Being in my hometown somehow always makes me feel like a kid. We chatted about adventures, relationships, and her upcoming baby! We talked about old friends and new ones, old jobs and new jobs, and our old lives versus her upcoming new life with Baby Cowan! I spent three and a half hours of pure joy with my friend. What a blessing those moments are.

As I was driving back to my world, separate from husbands and baby-ville...I thought about my life -the things that I have accomplished and the things yet to come. I thanked God for blessings past, present, and future and decided again...for the millionth time...that this year God will be the author of my life. Afterall, He knows me better than I know myself.  I love this quote a friend shared and I have decided to make it my motto for 2011:

"When you decide to step off the stone of fear... Your feet and heart are free to step through the doorway of faith."

Ah 29...My Old Friend

Blog World...Here I come!
