DISQUS

I love how we can change the world by nurturing each child who comes in to our lives.

This is so beautiful.....we were God given such an amazing purpose....I think we neglect this sometimes.

I am a sensitive mama....I just know when each of my boys needs my special attention.

compassionate, loving, soulful, real

I THINK I was the girl who seemed sure of herself, INVENTED the mini-kilt (yes...others claimed they did!), had a tight group of friends, was purely there for the social aspect...but really......I was SO unsure of myself, so self-conscious....a LOT of inner turmoil.....had LOTS of laughs and wore purple Maybelline eyeshadow. DANIELLE was as she says she was....always seemed wiser than her years, marched to her own beat, on the mysterious side for sure, and ALWAYS a sensuality about her.....the girl that guys wondered about......help me out Danielle!!!!!

To kick it off, my husband surprised me by hiring a cleaning service to clean my house today!!! How GREAT was it to come home from work to a clean house! NOW I can enjoy a weekend of being hockey and football mom AND.......meeting my honey in the hot-tub when the kids are in bed!

It's a feeling.....the way I feel when I'm giving it everything I've got.

I'm sorry to be such a naysayer lately, but with all the things we have to think about in a day, now I should MAKE myself present in the moment? What has become of us?!!

I have recently started working a second job.....and I am obsessed with the fact that I hate trying to juggle so many things, and that I KNOW I have become a shell of myself.....my husband says its good financially.......

I know this sounds silly, but I think there is a way to spice up anything. Reading a new book on my lunch hour is like being in a different place....buying a new mug for my morning commute is nicer than a paper cup....listening to my new ipod music while watching my boys at the hockey arena.... taking a nice bath in the morning BEFORE the craziness starts.....you see...let your creativity flow.

I'm OK with not being curious these days.......I finally feel that I am now needed to help my sons solve their curious mysteries......and that is very gratifying.

KINDNESS.....I pray for my sons to show kindness to everyone they meet.....as I do.

Wow.....I just want to get through today!

I can not think about tomorrow.....only today....OK, that's not happenin....I can not respond to, "You're the meanest Mom in the World!!!!!"......I may even say thank you.

Any flower in white is gorgeous to me.

Sat in the middle of "Linens N Things" today in the $1000 shiatsu chair, pressed "full body", and thought to myself "Just keep swimming....."

I am the one that friends will say, " I feel so much better now that I've talked to you"....I LOVE being the "go to" girl.

A gorgeous white shirt can make you feel like a million bucks....and your beautiful smile!!

Every single day has some amazing rights.....I have started a collection.

To fulfill my creative desires daily.

That this morning has turned out to be the perfect morning....3 boys out the door, no yelling and smiling faces.....thank you Lord.

Tammy D and Katie Kay.....I'll bring the popcorn for Californication...loved the last episode with the bald guy in the lobster bib!!!

Danielle....Gene Simmons Family Jewels.....now THAT'S some good @#!$@!! We owe our appreciation of good drama to Mr. Cartier......thank you sir!

I dream of being able to stay home, cook and bake and take care of my house and family...no outside job to go to, and I would proudly say, "I'm a Homemaker"...why is that so tabu these days?

When I first made the decision to live as if I had 37 days left, honestly, it sounded daring and new, and I felt more alive then I had in a long time. I set to work to make my "bucket list", and then something happened. I felt overcome with emotion, and sadness...a sadness that overwhelmed me. Even though I knew my life would truly not come to an end in 37 days, I started thinking, would I be at peace if it ended tomorrow...or next week? Am I truly living the life I want to be in? And the more I thought about it, the more I realized that I would spend my next 37 days making peace with myself....being gentler to myself, and forgiving ME for all of the self-doubt and unkindness I have placed on my shoulders. And so, for me, the next 34 days will be spent reflecting at some point during the day...more than likely when my last little boy has closed his eyes...and I wonder...how can I have so much kindness for others, and so little for myself?
