I’m an over-thinker and and over-sharer. So I thought, why not use Mother’s Day as an opportunity to over-share with everyone what my journey has been like raising my teenagers?
All in Politics & Religion
Wine + Coffee
Pardon the pun here but this post has been brewing in my head for many weeks. I thought about calling this post “Alcohol + Caffeine” but decided “Wine + Coffee” was more appealing. As it turns out, the post is about all four.
Clutch + Gold
Last week my hub received two wonderful texts among the hundreds of business texts he receives every week. He asked me if he was dying because he couldn’t understand why these two friends would write him these texts.
Homilies + Sermons
I was really pissed off this past week because someone told others that we did something but we did not. It was like a slap in the face to hear this news. When I heard about this I couldn’t sleep that night; I replayed everything in my head over and over. I held onto that anger for a week.
A Prayer Re-Do
Recently I was fortunate enough to go to London to watch the Broncos play a game against the Jaguars. Friends have asked me (and still are) how my trip was. I like to be transparent and sincere in my responses especially when I know that the person asking is genuinely asking. The trip itself was nice, but my life after has been forever changed.
Root Cause
On Sunday I found myself yelling at God because l was just trying to get to church.
Half-Ass
There is a Christian saying, “God never gives us anything we can’t handle.” I believe this to be true and so whenever faced with adversity, I repeat that saying to remind me that I can get thru whatever it is that I am dealing with at the time.
10 Random Things I'm Grateful For Daily
I started going to another eyebrow gal because my favorite had to move out of state. When this new esthetician saw me again only two weeks after she first waxed my eyebrows, she said, “I feel like I just waxed your eyebrows.” I complained to her that I will be getting my eyebrows waxed every two weeks because they grow so quickly. To that she replied, “Hey, be grateful that you can grow hair because it’s easy to remove but hard to grow.” I realized just then that having fast growing brows is something random to be grateful for.
Three Wishes
I’m currently on a “Mother/Daughter NY City” trip and of course going to church on Sunday was part of the itinerary. I am so glad that my daughter didn’t fight me on this event. I think years of my efforts are beginning to pay off.
1230pm
Last week I had a meeting on Thursday at 1230p. I was meeting a videographer and my PR consultant to film a much needed segment for an already existing promo piece for the Thoughtful Pinch app. I chose the date of this meeting and they chose 1230p as the time and a particular Target as the location. I found this one event remarkable enough to write about it for the blog.
Church
On my final dip in the ocean before heading back to Denver, somehow my family had a discussion about church. I was already thinking that I would write about church this week and so I took it as a sign. What were the chances that we would have a conversation about church while we were spending our last moments together as family while on vacation?
Unbreakable
There is definitely something stirring inside me. Again, the catalyst is because of a book. This is the second post in a row that pertains to a book. Which makes me think that written thoughts do matter and words have the ability to influence people beyond who we write them down for. When I listened to this book, I was alone and I found myself nodding my head, slapping the steering wheel, verbally agreeing and snorting with laughter. The title of the book is Unbreakable and it’s written by our friend Jay Glazer. We call him Glaze.
