Your Own Inner Light to Guide You


There comes a time when you must stand alone.You must feel confident enough within yourself to follow your own drAllow eams.You must be willing to make sacrifices.You must be capable of changing and rearranging your priorities so that your final goal can be achieved.Sometimes, familiarity and comfort need to be challenged.There are times when you must take a few extra chances and create your own realities.Be strong enough to at least try to make your life better.Be confident enough that you won't settle for a compromise just to get by.Appreciate yourself by allowing yourself the opportunities to grow, develop, and find your true sense of purpose in this life.Don't stand in someone else's shadow when it's your sunlight that should lead the way.

The Pebble and the Penguin

At our house we love the nature channel. Recently we watched a show about penguins. It was so cool to the kids how penguins choose their mate. If you didn't know, this is how they show their love and devotion. First the male penguin finds a beautiful pebble. He shines it, and gets it prepared to present to the girl he loves. He then rolls it to her and presents her with it. If she excepts they are mates for life and will live happily ever after. This warms my heart because when I was little I thought there was no greater man on the planet than my dad. We are still very close and have a wonderful relationship. My dad and Mason have a special friendship. They love to fish together and go see movies. My dad took Mason to see the penguin movie when it first came out. He thought it was cool but didn't realize it was true. When he saw the Discovery channel the other day and that this was true about the "pebble and the penguin" he was amazed. So the other day He came home from school with a rose for me and told me I was the most beautiful mom and the greatest mom ever. As I was picking up all the things that accumulate on the floors during the day I noticed two small perfectly painted pebbles placed at the door of my bedroom. What a sweet boy. He has such a wonderful heart. I hope all you mothers get pebbles of love from your kids :)
