Choices

November 28, 2015

 Today I wanted to go to one of my favorite stores for Black Friday and get some paint for a project. I could get it for half price and was looking forward to my husband coming home so we could spend a little time together and get my paint.  But he had a hard day at work, the kids all needed something, and then after dinner everyone got up and cleaned their dish off and left the room. I sat there, tired, worn out and dishes needed to be done. I was disappointed by the time I got things cleaned up the store was closed. I could really be upset that everyone just left me the dishes, for heaven sake I am just getting over chemo and I probably over did it today. But guess what, that was my choice. I could of gone earlier in the day by myself, I could of left the dishes  and just clean up later. I could of done less during the day so I wasn’t so tired. That paint means nothing to anyone else in my family. I made my choice, I don’t get it for 1/2 off now, because of the choices

My mothers inspiration

November 24, 2015

My mom was a talented seamstress and was always taking classes and learning. She made turn around dolls that were a big hit. She designed, made patterns and sewed these amazing dolls. The Goldy locks and the 3 bears was my favorite. My granddaughter is staying with me for a couple of days and she found one of these dolls. My mom would have loved this. As I watch my granddaughter tell the story in her own words it inspires me to bring joy to others with my talents, as my mom did.  My mom was a great example of being a loving grandmother. I hope I can benefit from her example and help my grandchildren feel like they are loved by their grandmother. Here is Mae Mae’s version of  Goldilocks and the 3 Bears:

What if?

November 24, 2015

I see posts on Facebook that say “I’ve found the answer to staying at and working from home.” They are so excited and their friends and family are all thrilled for their new adventure. Then I see a month or so later, that these kinds of posts fade away with their dream. It makes me sad when I see that their dream of hundreds or maybe even thousands of dollars are not coming in like they had planned, dreamed, worked for and then failed. I fully understand, I tried things like this for 20 plus years. I just knew that this one was going to work for me and then I failed or did the company fail? I have seen many companies through these years that are no longer in business. I believe that these companies fail the average consumer. What if there was a company that wasn’t trying to sell you a special product,  but a new refreshing shopping concept? What if there was a company that invites you to try their brand, a brand that is a better value and may even save you money? What if there was a company whose preferred customers get the same price whether they are business

How can I NOT be healed?

November 22, 2015

I was at an event and I had my mask on to make sure I didn’t get sick. I was feeling kind of like an alien from a different universe and to my loving surprise several people came and talked to me and offered their blessing. One girl ran to me and gave me a big hug and told me that the whole community  was praying for me. The outpouring of love from the community has been overwhelming. My emotions are close to my heart and I cry easily from all the love and concern. How can I not be healed, with such faith and love around me. I have had food brought to me on many days, and I probably wouldn’t eat much if it wasn’t so. Food still tastes really different but when someone else fixes it, “viola” I can eat. It is magic. Maresa, a long time friend, has been such a support and she makes sure I am well taken care of. She has stayed with me to just chat and reminisce. She has supplied me with hats, jewelry, cloths, texts me daily and sends  lots of love. Many people have brought over hats and scarfs. I think

Am I hiding behind a mask?

November 22, 2015

Our family has been consumed with The Phantom of the Opera for many months. Caleb, Josh and Gabriel,  my step sons, were all involved in the high school production of this musical.  Here is Caleb as the phantom. My job right now is to heal. It can be a boring and lonely job. But, it is my job and I am doing my best. As I was healing, I watched different versions of the phantom along with.”Love Never Dies” the sequel to the Phantom. I was able to go to the play opening night and closing night.In normal circumstances I would of gone every night. In both Phantom and the sequel the composer used Masks that not only the phantom wore, but that all the characters were wearing. I have thought a lot about the masks that we all hide behind.  Sometimes I wonder if I am hiding behind my own mask, the mask of being a happy girl, to be honest sometimes I feel like I am!  Then I remember, it is a choice to be happy. I just came across a post I wrote to myself, before I knew what kind of cancer I was experiencing. In the dream I
