Halfway through 2014! Have you accomplished a lot in 2014 yet? Would you like to accomplish more financially, spiritually, physically and improve your outlook before 2015? I'm positive that most of us answer YES to that question. There don't seem to be enough hours in the day or days in the week to get it all done. Our busy lifestyles take over and we forget what it is like to feel organized, peaceful and secure. My 2014 has turned into one of those 'A-HA' years. I am growing up. I have maybe arrived at a secure personal achievement of mature growth. I feel settled. Maybe because I now know how to be comfortable in my own skin no matter what others may think. Maybe it is that I am successful. Ending the month of June for me means I am ready for the second half of 2014! YAY! It wasn't always so. I would love to hear what you have accomplished or what you are struggling to accomplish. I have dealt with grief, being broke, being depressed, failing- again and again... Do you need an ear or a shoulder? Sometimes it helps to have a sounding board. CARPE DIEM!!! Sieze the day. It is yours, nobody else can do so for you. ;)

Celebrate YOUR Monday with me!!?

I am having a great Monday and I thought,"Hmmmm....who have I lifted up lately?" What a blessing to have a smiling Monday! I can't say that this was always so....I used to open my eyes and groan the, "I hate Monday!" mantra....or, even worse, I would start dreading Monday morning on Sunday afternoon. Thus ruining my Sunday evening in the process! What a sad mess to be in! Can I listen, celebrate an achievement or empathize with your Monday??? I would love to lend my ear or shoulder to you. It is a PASS IT ON day for me. So please share what you would like with my family and maybe there is a need for me to be celebrating this Monday with you. This is going to go down as my personal favorite Monday the 16th, 2014 and I would like to include you in my memory of this day! How can I be of service to you today? Please share... :) Thank You!

My thoughts on April 1st, 2014- stability- what does that mean to you?

April is here. Hello 2nd Quarter of 2014! I have had a lot of comments from my kids lately about the amount I work and how I work... and I thought, "yes" the majority of your working adult life should be when you are healthiest and busiest in your 30's. I spent my 20's working outside the home,harder than I do now, to not get very far ahead... 'I be smarter now' so my 30's have been more productive. I appreciate more fully the things that really matter. I know how to help others. 2 of my kids in the past week have friends who wish their mom's could work from home like I do (so they could homeschool)... I told them it was not one and the same and then realized- well, it is. Who gets to work and be with their kids everyday. At every activity I choose & have incredibly 'spoiled' children who know what it is to have mom available. I am building a retirment income in an unstable economy with my 8 children and I take care of other children who I am enjoying also. Hopefully we are a blessing to them all as I have so many blessings in my life. I hope I am teaching them what a WORK ETHIC is! And how you balance family and work wisely!
