I have journals for the kids and I want to share my last entry December 2010


To my children Mothers Day 2011

Dear Erik,

Years later and a much grown up mom. Reading this book brought me back to the great times of watching you grow up and of my last few years in Turlock.

Erik, I am so stinken proud of you! In my wildest dreams I could not ask for a better son. You have grown into a man of courage and honor and integrity. I'm in awe....When I was a little girl people would ask me what I wanted to be when I grew up and I would say "A mommy and a wife" Erik im so proud of me today. Look at you three....Im done! Anything else I do is icing on the cake!

You kids have showed your mom what self reliant and good and brave and what stand tall looks like! You have taught me what forgiveness looks like as well...You are a awesome partner to Brandon and a hard worker.

Remember the volcano with flour blowing up the kitchen? Your back yard homemade swimming pool? I fly out tomorrow to see you...Love you Buddy

Dear Ashely,

Im flying out to Colorado and can't wait to spend time with you. I'm in Colorado because my future is here and waiting. Weeder im so proud of you. You have become a beautiful women and a good partner to Roger and good sister and a awesome daughter. You ar a hard worker and for that im proud. You are daughter to the king. You are pink and fufu.....

You show me what a women of courage and strength looks like and you are my brave little girl. I am blessed to have you as my daughter and friend. I love you baby....

Dear Amanda,

You are a beautiful example of a mothers dream when she holds her little baby and dreams of what the grown up women will become. A women of courage and honor.I am blessed to have known you and to be your mom. You are funny and smart and bold and beautiful....giving and kind.

You fought hard to finish school and your work at your job is good.

You are a princess truly......Love you my third baby.......and you will always be all our baby....

DREAM TEAM

There is nothing that two women can not accomplish before noon if left alone to figure it out! That is of course unless one of them has a issue with her husband or boyfriend....So stinken true!!!

How true that is! We women think with our hearts, don't we? We can make a million dollar deal, close escrow on a house, head a board meeting and rule the world, yet.....when our hearts are not at peace we have trouble with focus and clarity and its then that we reach out to another women / friend and say "help" and she is there........We are heart centered / live in our hearts. I Know that is true for me.

I love my relationships with my girliepoos. Its important and I value them. Last night on the conference all with Michael he talked again about how important it is to have a group of people around us to be our support. He called it a dream team and I encourage each of you to set today and make a list of your dream team and if you do not have five or six good freinds on there to support you then I ask "why not"?

The best way to find your dream team is to go out and become a member of another s dream team. Reach out to people and be that support and be that friends that you desire!

Yes, there is not anything us women can accomplish in twos :) and if we have a issue with our hearts then be sure that we will have it figured out by noon....:)

Love all my girlies.....My mom, daughters, sister, cousins and friends.......smoooooooch

Be Prepared

I just heard on the news that a Boy Scout troop was missing and was just found safe and sound because....THEY WERE PREPARED! That is the boy scout motto "Be Prepared" I remember teaching that to my son and when they are little cubs they have to memorize that first "Be Prepared"....

How that speaks to me today. To prepare is everything. To be ready willing and able. To plan.....When we have goals we first have to set out a plan and put it into action. We will not be as successful if we just wing it each day and "hope" to reach the goal. I do not use the word hope and this is why.....

If we want to loose weight we have to be prepared with food and a exercise plan and a back up plan when friends ask us to go out to dinner or on a picnic. What will you do? Prepare and bring some of your own food? or Google the restaurant and find out what you can eat and then you are all set so that when you arrive you do not wing it and set yourself up to fail. If you do not have a clue what will be served and do not feel it appropriate to ask a hostess then mentally visualize yourself having very small portions and having fun and concentration on the moment and friends or family and not the food.

At home we can prepare for success by stalking our kitchens with good wholesome food.....not junk. Leave out the soda, candy, icecream and white sugar and flour. ewww. Once you stop eating these things you will say ewww....white sugar actually looks so funny to me now. Enjoy good food.....Your body will love you for it.


And above all "BE PREPARED".......
