A Truly Happy Wednesday (So Far!)

I'm back to writing my book, I got sidetracked, and then went on a confrance call wtih Alisa Bowman (author of the Project Happily Ever Blog) and got a renewed sense of spirit, energy & spark! Plus, I'm having a good hair day which makes everything better! It's taken me 25 years to realize it, but yeah, okay, I guess I do have pretty hair. I still don't think it's my best feature, but people compliment me on it all the time, and I enjoy the compliments, so today, I took the time to do it and I feel better! Yay! Anyway, I posted a few things on Facebook, so I'll post them here. I just wanted to say that Colin & I had a long talk last night and I feel much better. We got some things off our chest and except for drowning in bills, what else is new & who the hell isn't these days, we're doing alright. If we have to struggle financially a little, then so be it, I mean, we're newlyweds, we can't expect to have everything at once, and I KNOW, I know, know, know that if I sit here and EXPECT money to come in, and we both go to work and work hard, and spend WISELY and consult one another (I understand though why people divorce over money, I totally understand it!), we'll be fine. Besides, if it truly IS a NEED---you know, food, water, gas in the car, it WILL be provided for because it ALWAYS is and it ALWAYS has been. We may not have everything we want, but we sure do have everything we need! With that being said, that's my state of my mind today; focus on what's RIGHT and GOOD and JUST in my life--because focusing on the wrong and the bad and the unjust this past weekend got me nothing but what felt like a wasted weekend (except of course meeting Billy (Dean) for the 4th time, the movie with Colin, and dinner with mom! None of that was wasted!). Anyhow, today's a NEW day and I'm MOVING FORWARD! I'm not perfect, and life sure as heck isn't....but, it is what it is. This is the hand I've been dealt and so I'll play....and dance and sing, why? Because I can. Here's what I wrote on Facebook:

Happy Wednesday, everyone! I hope you have a great one! It's a bright, sunny 82* in Vegas today, I just had a wonderful confrance call with fellow writers @ the Book Writing Class I'm taking, & am filled with inspiration! Off to lunch w...ith a friend and then whatever the day brings! I sincerely hope you all feel respected, appreciated & loved today--find something to be grateful for & something to smile about as well! God Bless Us Everyone!

Really enjoyed my lunch w/ my friend--she was my job developer who turned into a friend....it's funny, I usually end up having professional relationships turn into friendships after the "professional" part is over. She's a wonderf...ul lady who is really strong, ambitious & inspiring...she kept me going on my job search for all those months & was so happy I'm now in a job that I love! Thanks in part, a lot, to her! Have a great day, everyone & You're in my thoughts & prayers--take care! Peace & Blessings!

It's really all about who you surround yourself with in life; hang out with strong, positive, brave people who aren't afraid to admit their faults, take responsibility for their actions and are enthusiastic about love and life in general, w...ho convey hope & empathy 99% of the time--and it's bound to rub off on you! Thank God, sincerely, for all of the people in my life who fall under this category--I wouldn't be who I am without you! Y'all rock! God Bless each of you always!

My sister, Jordan, takes beautiful photography; my sister, Joley plays awesome Clarinet, & my sister, Kelsey, can draw like an angel....and we all can write...my dad ended up with 4 very talented daughters, the latter 3 being absolutely amazing a...nd stunning with their own unique talents! I am so proud of my them my heart sometimes burts! I love you my sisters, I'm always here for you & I'll always love you! God Bless each of your three beautiful spirits! :)

My step-mom is a math whiz, by the way, and very, very crafty--she decorated the altar that Colin & I got married under. How awesome is that?! It was so gorgeous! And my won mom can needlepoint like no one's business...so, yes between our mutual dad and our moms--it's no wonder us sisters turned out to be so talented! Thank you to all of our parents!

Thank you, Lord, for it all!

In Light N' Love,
