Doing This Life Dance With Thomas – Happy 12th Birthday
December 8 2017:
A wee bit late creating this for Thomas … Yet, this is part of his birthday present (His birthday was 11.13.17)
Thomas ….
In this, your twelfth year
orbiting the sun ….
You light up my life
like I could never
have imagined ….
For I fully believe
you and I have a long
history beyond the
earth suits we now wear.
You and I made an
agreement to help
one another past
blocks that we’ve
held onto for
many lifetimes.
Thank you for staying
true to our long
ago made agreement.
As much and as many
times as I’d like
to stick my head
in the sand and
pretend I don’t know
what I know.
Thomas Arthur ….
My soulmate from
another time, another place.
You are one
who truly
knows me.
Knows me enough ….
to call me on
my own BS.
Standing up to me
when the ego
rears its nastiness.
You came swimming
into this world
on the thirteenth
of November 2005,
and have known
from the moment
of your first breath
who you are …
And have never
forgotten to stay
true to your heart.
Yet, you remind
me often that you
too are human …
With unkind
remarks and
decisions.
Indeed a reminder
of the Yin and Yang
of this wondrous
thing called Life.
I am so
incredibly blessed
by having you
as a partner in
this dance of life.
In other words … You are Unforgettable and I Love YOU!!

How lucky can one mom be? Let me …. Go here to read the rest …

My Love is Always There
**THROWBACK POST**
November 30 2013:
The making of homemade gifts has begun! Thomas just wrapped me a box bursting with love … He says there’s so much love in it he had problems taping it! He’s been making gifts all morning since the poor little fella made an inappropriate choice this morning and fibbed about washing his hair. He’s still grasping that this Momma mostly knows when he’s not being truthful.
I had to explain to him that my love for him has nothing to do with whether he tells me the truth or fibs. My love is always there. I explained that he can always tell me the truth … the sky will not fall and the world will not end when he is honest with me.
I explained that it’s his hair. He can choose whether or not to wash it. I will most likely say “Okay” if he chooses not to wash his hair one time and if it continues it will be his choice if he has stinky, dirty hair ….
He was so upset with himself … My heart overflows with love … Sharing the overflow as virtual hugs with all who want or need it … xoxo
They Were the Beginning of the Journey Within
**THROWBACK POST**
November 7 2012:
I am not the same person I was before these two people came into my life. They have rocked my world, turned it upside down, inside out, shaken it up, (kinda makes me think of the hokey pokey song!!). They, each in their own way, have been a catalyst for my growth and learning.
She has taught me about acceptance of myself and others, compassion for others, letting go of judgmental thoughts, flexibility, and releasing expectations. He has taught me patience, not taking actions and comments of others personally, and simply keeps me on this learning journey with all his ups and downs. I am GRATEFUL beyond words for these two young people in my life, my 6 yr old son Thomas and 11 yr old daughter, Lillian.
They were the beginning of a journey that has definitely not been easy at times, a journey into facing fears, changing thought patterns for the better and continually learning so that I can be the best teacher to them that I can be and so that I model what I think is in their best interest. It’s been one heck of an adventure and I’m thankful to each of them for the change they began in me ….
Would You Rather Be Right

Love, fun love from Team TLC! …. As you gather with loved ones and family members for Christmas 2015, may you carry this thought with you … “Would you rather be right … Or happy?” Oceans of love to you!!!
The Little Giving Tree that Gave Twice
**THROWBACK POST**
December 19 2014:
The school secretary had a little giving tree on her desk with tags which read, boy or girl and an age. Thomas jumped in the car a few weeks ago and said he wanted to take one of the tags and he’d use his own money to buy a gift. We did that and had fun choosing something.
A couple of days ago I received a message that Thomas and Lillian had been chosen to be included on the giving tree and there were gifts for them. Not only did I leave with tons of food subbing every day this past week, I left with gifts for Thomas and Lillian …. So blessed and grateful!
The little giving tree that gave twice! Gave happiness to Thomas by helping him to be kind and gave to Thomas and Lillian with a surprise!
Thomas and Camilla November 2017 Date Day
November 21 2017:
Thomas and Camilla November 2017 Date Day –
First stop: Washoe Lake. I’ve only been here maybe two other times with no wind. How gloriously beautiful.
I truly needed a deep dose of Mama Gaia today and this was perfect for grounding and processing.
Thomas walked barefoot and dug in the sand. It was perfect for him too. He and Lillian had a huge argument as we were readying to leave.
I sat down, took off my shoes and socks, and slowly buried my feet and hands in the soft, cool sand. I was instantly relaxed and brought into this wonderful moment with Thomas. It’s difficult to even find the words to describe.
Last stop: Ice Cream!! Vegan Coconut Mint and Just Nog for Thomas and Vegan Coconut Mint and Just Chocolate for me! Of all the flavors I’ve ever tasted here, the Coconut Mint tops the list now! Love the texture and flavor – tastes like a Jr Mint candy, only better! We ate our ice cream with the amazing view at Audrey Harris Park.
Thomas also had a half sandwich and I had a cup of potato salad and macaroni salad.
You Make Us Laugh
November 22 2017:
“You make us laugh just by your existence.” -Thomas Darnell
I’m purging and cleaning out the filing cabinet so to be sold and Thomas is reading some old Toastmasters magazines. One has an article on how to cause your audience to laugh …. The above are Thomas’ thoughts on my abilities in that department … Guess I got that one covered … I seriously cannot believe how much speaking and presentations I used to do. Holy Heck! I was a speaking crazy woman! Guess I ran out of stuff to say ….. for a while … HA! xoxo
