Took about 5 hours yesterday, and we finally got finished with his post and the “Love Cards”. Pass the love …. xoxo … From Team Member T … “I want to help my family get to the 18p- conference this year so I am selling love cards. You pass the cards around to spread the love! On the back you can add your own messages. It’s important to me to attend the conference because …”

I just love sitting outside in the shade while it’s still cool and there’s a soft breeze ruffling the tree leaves and my hair. So yummy to the heart! May you have your own yummy moments today! xoxo
Spent the afternoon being creative and then we all made a sign for our hotel room door at the upcoming C18 conference! xoxoxo
Suppose I needed reminded today of who I am … This post it attached to my dress this morning. I left it there as I felt it was a little message for me. Now. It’s hanging in my hair. And while having further “strong discussions” with Thomas today about limiting his time on digital devices, Thomas noticed this heart had formed from water out of the hose. Just a little respond with love reminder. I love Love!! xoxo

Happy Sumbeamy Saturday Y’all! A little something that stood out for me this morning, for myself and anyone else experiencing a storm. I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to experience the windstorms of my life for without them I would not get the chance to BE the true ME … “Should you shield the canyons from the windstorms, you would never see the beauty of the carvings.” -Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

E is for Expectation…”This journey will be much more fulfilling and full of joy, when we are able to live in the present moment and break the habit of being so rooted in our expectations. Expectations can be limiting. Once we loosen our grip on our expectations, we may find we have freed ourselves to allow an unexpected outcome to go way beyond anything we could have imagined.” Great book, Camilla Downs! I am thoroughly enjoying every page of it.” -Melanie G.
Heard some Rolling Stones this morning … always makes me think of my Daddy …. here I am visiting him with my big hair in 1992 down in Nawlins … Without knowing it, Daddy taught me there’s usually a way around, over, under or through rules!! Love you Daddy … thanks for always being there for ME!! Even though he’s not on FB thought this might bring some fond memories of your own back to you …
Crystal mining adventures …. Lillian got this for a birthday present 2 years ago … I put it away for the perfect day … It’s a PERFECT day!!

When the day calls for a wee mini adventure … “Working at the car wash … Get your car washed today” … Thomas and Lillian weren’t that impressed with my singing!! We had a ball! Rosey is so happy to be clean! She got vacuumed too … Love a nice clean car.
Thomas and I went to Great Basin Community Food Coop today while Lillian was in therapies. When we got home he said that was the best grocery store ever! I asked why and he said cause everybody was talking to one another and to the customers. Plus, we got a big cup of their home made soup! YUM! I agree with Thomas … It’s a great and friendly place. We will be going there more often! We all had another fun walk tonight! xoxo

Some beauty from our sunset walk last night. All 3 of us walked with our eyes towards the sky and Lillian and I were taking pictures like crazy! xoxo
Last night’s sunset had more to share than just stunning sky colors! Looked down just in time to see this! xoxo
Love, Love, Love …. The most amazing blissful day. And we didn’t go anywhere. Stayed home, read, cleaned, played a homemade LEGO game, wrote, helped Lillian with dolphin facts research, and went for our walk.

Came across this great quote in a book I’m reading right now … “The woman who follows the crowd will usually go no further than the crowd. The woman who walks alone is likely to find herself in a place no one has ever been.” -Albert Einstein … I would say woman or man … AWESOME book, by the way. It’s called “I Am That Girl” … xoxo

Thomas has been wanting me to lay upside down with him on this grassy hill. It’s about a 90 degree angle. The first time I flipped backwards while trying to get up!
This caught my attention as I was leaving Perfect Balance Therapies, LLC this morning. Must be some great energy leaking out the doors and windows! Got set up on the calendar, got a key to the place, met some of the other practitioners and fitness ladies. My services will be formally announced to current PBT clients in the next few days. Who’s ready for some relaxing, healing, nourishing Reiki?

What a great morning presenting to Lillian’s classmates about chromosomes, genes, DNA, differences, acceptance, non-judgment, patience, loving and accepting our unique selves, supporting one another, and that Different iz Good! Even had a sweet young man buy one of my books for his aunt. He has a cousin with 22q-. He totally got my presentation. I could sense it in his energy and his eyes! YAY! These kids are awesome! Will post it all to my blog later today for any interested in sparking a conversation with your kids or perhaps you want to give a similar talk at your child’s school. xoxo

“I feel, no, I KNOW we are at the beginning of something beautiful, magical and amazing coming into our lives! I choose to present this to myself and my kids as an opportunity for adventure. I shared the exciting news with Thomas and Lillian this past Sunday night … carefully worded and presented as a shiny new gift on a silver platter just waiting to be opened ……” Who’s ready to set sail with Team TLC? Thanks Luther for the play on words!

I’m so excited!!! Prepping for my annual “Lillian Presentation”. Every year I present to Lillian’s classmates about her differences. This year I’ll have a larger audience as all of the 4-6 grade teachers want me to present to their students instead of just Lillian’s class! WOW!! I’m thrilled to be given the opportunity to have these little minds to inspire and educate … My desire is that I say just the right thing, in just the right way to inspire at least one of them, hopefully more, to accept themselves just as they ARE and to carry that forward to acceptance and kindness towards those with differences … The magic happens this Friday, the 14th … not just any Friday and not just any 14th …. It’s a very special inspiring little ladies birthday that day too …. Rock on Ms. Lillian … Keep on shinin girl
Makin dinner adventures for Team Member T … Fillin my boy with confidence and kindness tonight … Spaghetti and Meatball Stoup … And I was Thomas’ helper all the way!
A little poem inspired by Team Member T & L this past July 2012 …

Awoke with these thoughts this morning. 1st & foremost we must trust ourselves. We must trust & support decisions we make even if we don’t fully understand why we must make certain decisions! Liked it so much thought I’d share!
