Just wanted to take a minute, and share my exciting news. I've been working on establishing a group for single parent mothers. I am soooo excited. For sometime now I've wanted to do this. A group of women coming together sharing ideas, and experiences, and just having someone to call and lean on when times get rough. I cant wait for the first meeting scheduled on Sunday June 8Th to meet and plant the seed of growth. I believe mothers are a strong force in developing the future. You know the saying "children are the future" well I believe that whole heartily. But we mothers know it is the most difficult job in this World. I'm the proud mother of three children, two girls 21-19, and my son who is 13 and boy oh boy do I have my hands full. You know its funny at times I look back on my life, and I think if I could change this or that maybe things would be different for me. The one and only things I never think about changing is having my children. Yeah at times I have no clue what I'm doing, and I'm become a nervous wreck that I'm making a big mistake with the choices I make, but I just know that all my choices are made with the abundance of love, so I hope it is enough. I have to admit when I become weak I tap into the strength of my children. When I feel discouraged I tap into their ability to love me unconditionally, and that's enough love for me to pull myself together. Being a mother is the most fulfilling, and wondrous thing ever, and I'm truly thankful that God has blessed me with the most soul filling children ever. There is no question that I make mistakes, and run out of patience, but this is the one thing I know I was put on earth to do, because where else would I place all my love, and receive so much back. I'll keep you posted, wish me luck!

Just Be

I've been reading this book on Being in Balance. I am a firm believer that every existence everything must be balanced. For sometime now I have been unbalance and wasn't sure how to fix me, or my life. To be honest I'm not really into the self help stuff, but I am into references on subjects I know nothing about. For so long now I've been looking for balance, and finally I'm feeling confident that I have the knowledge now to pursue balance in my life. There is a caption in one of the chapters that read.."You become what you think about all day long" there are instrumental statements like this that really make me think. My biggest challenge will be the most important and its to simple JUST BE...For someone like me that's a hard quest. I'm stressful, frustrated, control and neat freak, but I have decided none of that matters if I'm sad, angry, and have forgotten to live. I have no choice but to "just be". I keep telling myself I have to be the change I want to see in the world. Please feel free to share with me any ideas on the topic. This will become who I am, so it would be nice to have support, and suggestions, as well as life story's on how you maintain balance. Peace and blessings to all
