November 11, 2012 "Veterans Day"
OMG! Where has the year gone! The last time we talked was in September. Fall weather is here! Halloween has come and gone and i love seeing all the little goblins and witches out and about. My daughter is 14 and still dresses up! Yes I do too! Love it!
Well, in honor of Veterans day, want to show how proud I am of each and every veteran for their service in protecting our country, the ultimate sacrifice!
Well, Thanksgiving is in a week or so, i have already started baking. Ok, I can share this, I am a pumpkin addict! Just call me the pumpkin queen. As we speak, i am making pumpkin pie bars! I am in heaven!
Enjoy all of your family traditions, old ones and make new ones. That is what I do. Think of everything you are thankful for as I know that I am blessed with family and friends.
Love to everyone out there and enjoy the holidays because I enjoy every day as it is a gift.

Fall Weather
September 27, 2012
Well, the last time you heard from me was in July. The summer was so busy. Well, school has started, kids are back in school. Fall weather is coming. Pumpkins everywhere and in any dish you want. I love this time of year, pumpkins, leaves changing.
What is your favorite thing about the fall weather? Would love to hear from everyone. I know that everyone has a different favorite thing. I think sometimes that I eat so much pumpkin that I will turn into one! Not such a bad thing.
Halloween is almost here. What is your favorite costume to wear? I loved Halloween as a child and love it as an adult. My daughter loves it. No matter what age, it is a cool time.
well, enjoy the Fall colors. Enjoy the cooler weather. Be whomever you want to be. Enjoy every day, one day at a time. See everyone soon to see how your year is going.

Cherish every day
We should all cherish every day as every day is a gift. Please pray for the people in Aurora, Colorado at the movie theater where evil came to visit but also heroes emerged.
12 special angels went to heaven that day. Wonderful people of all ages, sizes, were leading fruitful lives and on July 20,2012, were called home. I believe in angels who watch over us. There are angels in heaven who guide us and protect us.
That day, people put their lives to the side to protect others and I think that is the definition of a hero. They did not go into that movie theater thinking they were heroes but emerged as heroes. There is no greater love that one human being to give then to give his life for a friend.
Please hug your children, your families every day and tell them how special they are in your life. They need to hear it. I take one day at a time and consider every day a gift.

It has been raining a lot here and you know what that means, texas sized mosquitos! Yes and they are big.
Well, I hope everyone is having a safe and cool or somewhat cool summer. Enjoy every day. See everyone soon.

April and May, 2012
Well, where has the time gone. Summer is almost here. School is out. The great days of summer are upon us. We just got back from vacation and my 14 year old daughter took her lst airplane ride!
It was so awesome, to see her face light up like a Christmas tree. She smiled and laughed on takeoff and landing. It was so wonderful to see this and be a part of this wonderful experience. Everyone should fly just once and experience the wonderful, freeing feeling that my daughter experienced and i was lucky enough to experience again.
I had not flown in 20 years and it will not be that long again when we fly again. We are already planning our next trip. Met new people on the plane, being up in the clouds is such a freeing feeling and so close to God.
Well, go out there, get a map, plan a trip and let me know of your experiences and where you are taking a trip this summer. Whether, you take a plane ride, take a road trip in your car. Would love to hear of the sites you have seen or will see.
I hope everyone has a great summer. Enjoy every day and live life to your fullest!
See everyone soon.

Well, it so hard to believe that St. Patricks day has come and gone. It really feels like Spring is here. Easter is around the corner and everything is blooming. Well, I can tell you that is true because my allergies are in full bloom,lol. Well, we are getting well and moving toward warmer weather. We are ready.
In August in Houston, I will be eating those words! So ready to come out of our winter cocoon and spread our wings, so to speak. Hope everyone is going to have a great Spring. Every day is a gift from God. See everyone soon and would love to hear your Spring stories of birth and rebirth.
Until then, happy Easter and ready for the flowers to grow!

Well Valentines Day has come and gone and Spring is almost here. Getting ready for St. Patricks Day. You know luck of the Irish, when I was growing up, this was a national holiday! Well, fast forward many years and my daughter Molly was born on St. Patrick's Day which makes the day even more special. She is my lucky charm. You know that everyone is Irish on St. Patricks Day and so go on out there and celebrate with your friends and loved ones because that is what we are doing.
I have a teenager and what a special time it is when they transition from babies to toddlers and then you turn around and they are teenagers. Where has the time gone? Cherish every day as that is what I do. Give out hugs daily.
Well, go grab the blarney stone, find gold at the end of a rainbow. What a magical time this is. See everyone tomorrow.

Boy where has the time gone. It was just Christmas and then it was time to put up the Christmas tree. How is kindness/24/7 going? This is the year to follow your passion, chase your dream. Some call it feeding your passion. It is also the year of firsts. If you have not seen that sunset, mountain side, go see it and seize the moment.
Well, speaking of chasing your dream. On January 14th, 2012, I drove to Austin, Texas and auditioned for Americas Got Talent. It was the most exciting experience that I have ever done. I met so many wonderful people, so much talent in one place. I have been meaning to do this for a long time. I felt so relaxed in my own element. I was so happy, complete euphoria! Even got a cut in line pass.
Have you ever had one of those days when everything fell into place, well, mine was January 14, 2012. I felt so good after my audition and I gave it my all. I got thumbs up from friends. Will not know anything for 2-3 months but I am open to whatever God has for me.
I am hoping that I go onto the next level which will make it closer to my dream coming true. Singing is my passion and I feel so close to God when I sing. Will let everyone know when I hear. Keep your fingers crossed. Dreams do come true.
Well, until tomorrow, keep looking for kindness and follow your dreams. It makes the view so much better and you are not following the same path as before.

Well, I survived yesterday on finishing up Christmas shopping. People everywhere trying to find the best deal and the special gift or gifts for that loved one. People were caring like allowing people to get in front of them in traffic, you know every other one rule! Christmas spirit and kindness is still there with Christmas getting closer. Handing them coupons to save on their purchases. A woman handed me a coupon and she did not even know me, what a kindness!
Has anyone accepted my challenge for kindness 24/7. That is what I am calling it. Help someone you do not know, share a smile, a hug. It will make a difference in your life and theirs. After shopping yesterday, came home and my daughter and I went to see a live nativity scene. Yes, it is wonderful. This is something we do every year. Create a tradition or keep the old ones going. We got to dress up as either an angel, shepherd or king. Got our picture taken and then got to partake of cocoa and cookies. It was well worth it.
I am resting up this week to get ready for baking and yes we are still working on our talent for the talent show and will let everyone know how that goes after Christmas Day.
Hope everyone has a great day and remember u r blessed and bless someone today. See everyone tomorrow.

Well, we have been out looking for Christmas spirit. Well, we found it. It is everywhere! Special angels making Christmas special for people they do not even know. Paying for a meal, paying for layaway items that will bring a smile to many faces on Christmas morning. Giving of what we have in abundance to people that are in need. That is really what Christmas is about.
People get lost in the commercialism of Christmas but there are good people out there sharing their blessings with people and when we give of ourselves to people in need that is how we are blessed.
Hope everyone has a great weekend. Last weekend to shop before Christmas. I offer a challenge to everyone that we could carry over the spirit of giving 365 days a year. What a better world this would be if we gave out blessings year round. I know that is my goal for now and 2012.
See everyone tomorrow. Count your blessings because I have many and have added some more today.

Well it is Thursday and the weekend is almost here. I have been resting up as I need to finish up my Christmas shopping this weekend. I really do not know how Santa does all of this. What a powerhouse he is! It is still warm here and we have been out and about looking for Christmas spirit. We were listening to Christmas songs today in the car and my 13 year old daughter loves singing Christmas songs. There is nothing better in life than being with your daughter, singing Christmas songs and not a care in the world.
We are getting ready for a talent show on Christmas Day. There is lots to do and lots of planning but in the end, what a way for families to come together and share in the day than to be together and enjoy special time. Every family should experience this and make it a family tradition.
Well we are off to practice, sharpen up our act and get plenty of rest. Hope everyone has a great Christmas, start a new family tradition or even keep doing the traditions that your family has already started. What a gift to pass down to your family for future generations to experience. Enjoy your family. Many blessings this Christmas season. See everyone tomorrow.

Warmer weather today giving a false sense of security
Well, here it is Wednesday, December 14, 2011 and the weather here in Texas has warmed up giving us a false sense of security. We are still preparing for Christmas. Christmas here in Texas is a state of mind. I remember as a kid wearing shorts on Christmas Day and thinking this is cool and are there other kids in their shorts playing with their Christmas presents. Christmas is what you make it. Well in Texas u always keep your shorts close by and the A/C ready to turn on at any moment and then get zapped back into colder weather, sweat pants. What a journey!
Hope everyone is having a blessed Christmas season. I think that I am caught up on sending out Christmas cards. At Christmas time, there is always something to do but always make sure you make time for yourself, get your rest, eat healthy and get plenty of sleep. I hope Santa is following this regimen because he will need it for Christmas.
Well we are enjoying the warm up here as we have a saying here in Houston, if you do not like the weather, wait 15 minutes and it will change. Well, I am off to check and see if I need more wrapping paper which I probably will and going to the mailbox to see if we got any more Christmas cards as I am trying to keep up with the season.
See everyone tomorrow. Just remember God is the reason that we are so blessed. I know I am.

How is everyone's Christmas shopping coming along? I am almost through. Enjoying time with my daughter and finishing up homeschooling before Christmas gets here. Is everyone going to be watching The Biggest Loser? We love that show. I am working on losing weight and 2012 is going to be my year. Save and make money which I am already doing and personal growth.
I love to help people be able to stay home, save money and make money and enhance family time. I am looking at our family Christmas tree and thinking back to when I was little and how exciting it is waiting for Christmas to get here. I love looking at our ornaments on our tree and it really tells a story of past linked to present. I have ornaments on the tree that my grandmother gave me and when we decorated the tree, I told my daughter the story of her great grandmother and yes I was named after her.
Look at your family Christmas tree and talk about the ornaments on the tree as each one tells a story and it would be special family time.
Talk to everyone tomorrow. Remember that God is the reason for the season.
