Come as you are...

One thing I get a good laugh about almost everyday is the difference in my daughters.

I couldn't love two people more than I love them.... they bring me so much joy and yet often times in completely opposite ways.

For example, their latest postings on fb....

From Sarah (last night)... a screenshot of texts between one of Sarah's friends and TJ... Sar thought it was hilarious:




From Ally tonight...

"The world thinks in order to love someone, THEY need to serve YOU. I think that is completely backwards. In order for your love to grow for someone, YOU must serve THEM." -Tom Lungren.  There is no greater way of showing your love for someone than by giving away sunshine with a little act of kindness. It may take time away from your day, but in return, it adds some sunshine to your own soul. 


They teach me SOO much... mainly about being true to themselves.  Neither has ever been afraid to be anything but COMPLETELY who they are.

I love it that Sarah has very little tolerance for nonsense.  She's so honest about what she thinks and how she feels.  There is never any doubt about exactly what Sarah's thinking.  If she doesn't believe something or like it, you KNOW it.  I love it that there is no such thing as being two-faced or putting on false pretenses for her.

Ally sees the world through rosy-colored glasses... though in a totally positive way.  She knows that there are trials and hardships in everyone's life and that the world as a whole can be a pretty rough place... yet she chooses to still see the best in EVERYTHING and everyone.  And she has patience to the moon and back.

One thing about my girls, they adore each other in every way.  In their relationship you see the deepest, truest feelings of their hearts... the purest form of unconditional love for the other.

I am so happy that they have each other... I know their love is something they'll be able to count on for every turn in life.

New normal

Virus's, masks, hand sanitizer, staying home, conspiracy theories, hoarding, facetiming, toilet paper shortage, the worst of incompetency from the very highest level, gaslighting, so much blind and deafness (though, not literally), smokescreens, bold-face lies accepted without explanation.... the list goes on and on. First and foremost though, this is nothing to be made light of. The meme's were a good laugh in the beginning, but they're stale and old now.   People are suffering, people are sick, people are dying.  Medical workers all over the world are putting their lives at great risk everyday, working to save and protect so many.   Grocery and essential store workers, truck drivers and delivery people are making sure store shelves are stocked so we have what we need. It's hard to see a light at the end of the tunnel.  Until there's a vaccine there isn't much "finality" in sight. People.  Oh, the people.  In so many ways huma...

Turning the full-of-stuff-bins in my garage into an etsy store

It's time. I've been chattting this up for years.... YEARS. Been cleaning out my garage. Getting rid of soo soo much. Have sold a ton of stuff and donated lots. But there's still so much fabric, paint, wood, floral supplies, paper, jewelry making stuff... you name it, it's out there. I even have friends that will call up sometimes and ask if they can "come shop in my garage".  I dare not even put a round-about dollar tag on it all. The only way I can begin to justify it is by creating. Finally putting it all to some kind of use. Sooo, there it is. And here I go. If I think something might be fun for someone else to try I'll blog about it with instructions and photos and such. It feels weird saying that because like most people, there's WAY more I can be taught than I could ever teach others. Anyway. See ya out there!

Taking a little different direction...

Been thinking mucho the last several days about where I want my life to be. Is it crazy that I'm 47 years old and don't know? When I was 23 I knew more about what I wanted for my life (overall) than I do now. There are a few things I'm pretty sure about, but I also know I'm never going to get there if I'm always thinking so far ahead.  No more tomorrow, next week, next month, next year.  Uh uh. I really feel like everything is going to take care of itself if I live in the moment right now, and ONLY for that moment.  I'm also going to let myself be surprised... not always have everything so carefully calculated. And since I want the unknown, I'm not doing the 30-day photo challenge... So here's where I'm going... and I do know it's a good thing... though honestly, I really don't know where it's going to take me... but I feel like it will be, what it is to be... "Let it be, let it be, let it be-ee, let it be."
