Throwback Post: Out to Eat With Improvising and Playing

**THROWBACK POST**

October 30 2011:

Finally eating here … Heard so many good things!!

Waiting for our yummy food!!

Improvising … Line was too long at Nevada Discovery Museum!! No Halloween candy but much more peaceful!! Lights!! It was crazy . . . I could not figure out why people were standing in that line! My kids were disappointed but they didn’t want to stand in that line. Going by Audrey Harris Park was my save for Thomas. He loves going there. Lillian didn’t care one way or the other and they each got a piece of candy when we got home since we didn’t do what we had planned.

Throwback Post: Goodbye Turning Views Foundation

Little update regarding The Turning Views Foundation and Different iz Good.

“As of September 2013 we are no longer a 501(c)3. This endeavor needed and deserved more time, love and funds than I was able to give to it. However, we had a GREAT response during our 3 years and gifted either an iPad, iTouch or iPhone to about 20 recipients who were in need! This website and blog will stay live and we will continue to spread the Different iz Good message. In fact, I foresee a Different iz Good book in the not so distant future. I will be asking for your stories.”

Love, Love, Love to all y’all! xoxo

Had to get his out of my head!! It’s been brewing in there to the point of not being able to focus on anything else! Whew! Done! Posted with love and the hope that it helps others.

” I had landed in the darkness of my life. If you had asked me during that time if I could go back in time and change things so this were not to happen, I would have given you a resounding YES!!! Now, six years later, ….”

Throwback Post: Going to be Famous

**THROWBACK POST**

November 16 2015:

One of the middle school students just told me that she has the feeling Thomas is going to be famous. She says he just has something about his personality.

He must have really made an impression on her as this is the 2nd time she’s mentioned that she talked with him. Told her I’m inclined to agree with her. May he never become disconnected from his inner self … xoxo

Throwback Post: It’s Not a Bad Thing

**THROWBACK POST**

October 30 2013:

Thomas has been on a roll lately.

The other night before bed he said he had been tired that morning and that was a bad thing (he was grumpy, grumpy, grumpy). I suggested to him that being tired is not a good thing or a bad thing, it just is. Adding that by looking at it as bad, it was causing him irritation. If he were to say to himself, I’m tired and that’s not good or bad. It’s just tired, then the irritation can’t and won’t be there. Told him he could use that with anything, not just being tired. I could almost see the tension release from his body!

He always seems to bring up topics at just the moment when I need a reminder too! Sailing on through this learning/living/parenting journey y’all.

Throwback Post: Halloween Fun of the Past

**THROWBACK POST**

October 31 2014:

Team TLC is off to The Romano Casa for some Spooktacular fun! BOO!

Once a fairy princess, always a fairy princess. Thomas was dressed as “Happy”! Close up picture to follow.

Wahoo from the fairy princess and get your happy on from Thomas dressed as “Happy”. All the treat givers loved Thomas’ home made costume! He almost had me in tears. He was putting candy he collected back into the empty bowls at houses where no one was home. I give away most of what they get, yet they have tons of fun with the anticipation and creating their costumes.

Happy Halloween from a blurry Team TLC. Looks like my phone has been drinking.
