Question of the Week: What weaknesses of the past are you ready to master in the present?
I am ready to learn to walk away when I need to instead of trying to hold on to things that only seem to hurt me.
I am ready to work on taking care of me first and foremost and then my family.
I am ready to quit letting things sway my thoughts of what I know is best for me and my family.
I am sure there are more. But those are the things that I want to concentrate on.....
As for me and my list....I way overslept this morning....I didnt get up until 1230....that seems to be becoming the normal thing for me to do with these headaches.....but I am going to get that remedied. I have lots to do.... I have already started the laundry, worked on some organization and some price points....and now I am blogging....WOW!!! a lot to have accomplished in the less than 2 hours....I am pretty proud of myself. I still have a lot to do but I am making the effort.....I will get it together..... I will make it work...Dont believe me? Hide in the corner and watch. I have the best support team EVER!! So thankful for those people in my life that love me no matter the mistakes.
I posted early early this morning for my challenge for the day....so now off to do my chores.... making the best of things!!!

7/18/11 12:19 am No more excuses......
"Only as high as I reach can I grow, only as far as I seek can I go, only as deep as I look can I see, only as much as I dream can I be." ~Karen Ravn
So the last few weeks have been up and down. mostly down...but I am trying to be positive and start only looking forward. I have tried to put off the inevitable, I know that I cant handle these headaches much longer. Staying in bed is not an option, I have businesses to run, a home to keep running, and some amazing children in my life to love. I cant do all of that while I am in bed. I feel like I have been giving up because of the fear of the needle in my back. Everyone keeps telling me that it will hurt a lot less than the everyday hurt. and they are right....but it still sucks!!!!
That 30 minutes that I have to lay there while they are drawing the fluid off of my spinal column is the longest 30 minutes EVER!!! and the most excruciating pain I have ever felt in my life....and believe me these headaches have caused me some pain. Its time to woman up and get it done.....I am missing out on my life....the life I love so much!
So I have gotten out the list tonight....and for the first time in 3 weeks I have made my Monday List..... 4 pages of lists......wow...I really have been slacking....I need to get caught up. I can and I will!!!
Something else I am going to try.... maybe I will blog it since I cant seem to keep these challenges up on facebook....LOL!
60 day challenge, day 1: A pic of yourself with 15 facts (do I really know that many?)
1. I am my own worst enemy
2. When I love I love with my whole heart
3. I love what I do...(Photography) There is something about capturing peoples memories FOREVER!!!
4. I forgive sometimes when I really shouldn't.
5. I trust way to easy which means my heart breaks even harder.
6. My eyes change colors
7. I am married to my very best friend....
8. I love this little town we live in
9. The only thing I have ever really wanted I have given up on getting... (being a mom)
10. I second guess myself way to much!
11. I spend way too much time worrying about what other people are going to think of me.
12. I love to blog....scrapbook....and learn new things!
13. Have a strange obsession with numbers
14. The person I want to meet above all is me. I'd love to finally know who "she" is 15. I am learning to take care of me.
Some of these answers I mirrored from dear friend Tabitha Hughes because they just fit my life..... Thank you Tabi...I love you and I think you are amazing!!!
Tomorrow is a brand new day,.....I cant wait to see what it has in store!!! Nite nite!!!

7/10/11 Mistakes.....
"When you make a mistake, don't look back at it long. Take the reason of the thing into your mind and then look forward. Mistakes are lessons of wisdom. The past cannot be changed. The future is yet in your power."
~Hugh White
Everybody makes mistakes. Don't they? i know I make mistakes..I wouldn't be surprised if I made more than one a day. I think that is why it comes a little easier for me to forgive...because I know that people have forgiven me. At times when most likely that shouldn't have been the case. Then there are those people where if you make a mistake no matter what that is IT there is nothing left. How do people live like that. Some of the best people in my life have hurt me at some point. I think once you work thru the rough spots it makes you and your relationship stronger.But that is just me. I am thankful that I was blessed with a forgiving spirit. I am thankful that I believe in second chances. Some mistake my kindness and forgiveness as stupidity and sometimes they may be right. But I wouldn't change me. I like me for me! The people who are truly important to me love me for me! There are days when it would be much easier to walk away and forget than to forgive. Opening some wounds are hard. But I am thankful that my life is mine and I get to choose what I fight for and who I forgive.
I am in the process of leaving the past behind me and building my present. Noone knows what tomorrow will bring but I would like to think that if I died today that people would remember me for being kind,loving and forgiving. So looking forward those are the 3 things that I will continue to work on.
I didnt weigh in today....tomorrow will hold all those ugly thoughts about what I ate over the weekend. Today is just about catching up.... Drinking lots of water and preparing for the week ahead. I have set a few goals for this week. They are private for now....I will write them down and blog about them as I cross them off. Looking forward to a great week! Loving the life!

7/8/11 New inspirations....
"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around."
~Leo F. Buscaglia
I have also learned in the last few days how much someones words can hurt. How things from the past have the potential to hurt the future, and how vindictive people can be. How some people dont care whom they hurt or what lives they destroy in the process of trying to make themselves look better. I have lost a few friends over the last couple of weeks. Today I am ok with that. I am absolutely tired of being ran over, and let down. Both of which are my fault. Things can only happen to me or affect me if I allow them to. I am the only one that can decide what affects me or how I react to it.
Today I am going to choose to react with thoughts of only myself and the people that matter to me. I have decided to make some changes in my life, in my relationship, and in my friendships. I will not back down and allow people to walk all over me, nor will allow them to stage the way I look at myself. I believe in who I am and where I want to be and who I want to be. I believe that I will take this adventure that we call life and do with it what I feel is best for myself and my family. I have felt like a doormat for longer than I care to admit. I have come to the realization that I am the only one who can change that.
How am I going to do that you ask....I am going to take care of the things that are important to me....myself and my family. I dont really have a whole lot of friends....I have extended family. :)
There are some specific things that are important to me.....For ME!
My health....
My weight...
My time management...
for my family....
time spent together apart from working.
communication.
for my business.... these changes have been truly inspired. I have a great set of support friends....Thank you!
There is a lot in this category.... those will be coming down the pipes soon....stay tuned.
Just an update on my journey as a fat girl. I gained 7 lbs week before last. I just pretty much let life take me down and I ate, and ate....and ATE! I have decided that is not an option for me. I went back to the gym the other day and it felt great...the last 2 days I have had a nasty migraine. Yesterday I didnt get out of bed at all unless it was a necessity. Today I am feeling some better...still have a slight headache...which is an indication that it is getting close to time to have my psuedotumor drained. I cant really complain they told me it would have to be done every 18 months and this time so far it has been 30 months. Hoping this bout of headaches is only my sinuses and allergies since it has been coming and going and not constant so far.
This morning I weighed in at 216.8 for that I am thankful. Hope to get back to the gym tomorrow....
Sorry this has been so lengthy, havent blogged in a while....one of those things on the list of things for me to do for me!!!
