TINY GIRL, BIG MOMENT

HOW DO OUR LITTLE ONES GROW UP RIGHT UNDER OUR NOSES...


Ellie Mae, who will be turning five on the 31st, is small for her age. She still wears a size 3. She has tiny feet, tiny legs and a sweet, tiny voice. To this mother, she is still my baby.

Friday night, May 15th, 2009 Jacque's Preschool of Taylorsville, Utah gave the thumbs up for Miss Ellie to enter Kindergarten this coming fall. How can this be? Something must have happened when I wasn't looking. I want to go back....


But we cannot. Our sweet tiny baby will not allow it. She is intelligent, confident, prepared and above all, she wants to let her own little light shine.


I must let go of the apron strings. Life moves forward.


Here's to your own journey Miss Ellie Mae.
I love you with all that I am.


Shine brightly.

mom

    It's Mom. I read Enchanted but the pics are too dark to see. THen I read about Ellie and had tears in my eyes. She has to be an angel from heaven. Such a sweet face and sweet way about herself. Did Jazzy hear any more about her performance?

Purge of a Lifetime

By
For the past eighteen months, my life has been in a complete transformation so much that parts of me are unrecognizable.  This is a good thing but making monumental changes can use up a lot of energy.  I had been so focused on finding myself, creating a thriving business and building a different relationship with my kids that many things were neglected, mainly housework. After pushing hard in business, transforming my being and making a major effort to connect with my kids at a whole new level, the time had come to shift the energy of the home as well.   On June 2, we embarked on an overhaul of the upper floor.  I can't say that I was excited about it but it was time and from somewhere deep inside, I mustered up the energy to put my shoulder to the wheel and push along...for nine long and labor intensive days.  Everyone laughed at me when I scheduled 10 days for this project but as the days wore on, it was apparent that I may actually have some ...

morning walk on the beach

By
i am on a trip to southern and mid california for my doTERRA business to train a few leaders and teach a class.  i came a day early to take some time to get grounded and have some much needed alone time.   the hotel i am staying in has a new state of the art gym with updated modern equipment and such but i decided to ditch the cold, lifeless gym here at the hotel and at 5:40 am, drove to sunset beach to watch the sun 'rise'.   while there, i took off my running shoes (since i don't run, this made perfect sense) and walked along the shoreline for my morning exercise.  i played a bit with the surf, trying to capture my toes in the sand with my uncooperative camera.  got wet (of course).  i then collected some seashells for the girls that will surely break in my suitcase on the way home.   i was smiling from ear to ear.  i haven't enjoyed something like this for a very long time.  i sure do love coming home....  here are a few highl...

crazy cleanse

By
so malcolm and i have been doing a pre-cleanse which in reality isn't much of anything other than taking some enzymes and vitamins in prep for the real cleanse. the real cleanse is supposed to help us wipe out the sugar in our diet and get healthy in a super strict way.  like everything organic and clean. uggh. i have my doubts about how well we will be able to keep at the 'no sugar' thing as our track records proves us to be rather unstable with it comes to sugar discipline. i am willing to give it another go and see how we do. until then, i am going to keep eating chocolate covered peanuts and i am sure malcolm will keep drinking coke. 3 days til we begin and it is on a day we have business bootcamp. success is questionable.
