In honor of my beloved Dory, I type in blue! For those of you who don’t know a what a “Dory Moment”…. Are you sure we are friends?!?! No, seriously a dory moment if a moment where you have done something, forgetful, clumsy, ditzy, etc… but find it extremly funny, and totally NOT embarassed by it, even though you turn completely red when you find out you have successfully had a dory moment. In order to be apart of the Dory club, you must first complete Dory 101. Meaning, you have had that moment, and you except it! You must not be embarassed by your Dory side, but embrace it. Sometimes we all have our moments, and its ok to laugh at it. Some time many moons ago, boys, emo folks, and people with NOT blonde hair considered these to be a “dumb blonde moment” The “Dumb” blonde jokes took the world by storm. But really, is it a dumb moment when you can reflect and realize your dory moments, and laugh it off? If life really worth all the negative outlooks? Not to mention to guestion the intelligence of another person. As Stephanie Judith Tanner from our favorite TGIF show, “HOW RUDE?”

Today I had a fabulous dory moment. I pulled in to chilis when in route to Fazollis. I walk to door, and realize my dory moment.

For those of you whom are confused on the term Dory… what Finding Nemo… need I say more?

Comment with your favorite Dory moment you have had, and if you happen to remember mine. Because like any other dory, I forget mine….

One day God will touch your heart with your dream. Some times God will touch your heart with a dream, even before you’ve ask him to be apart of it. Once this dream is part of your life, you can’t stop thinking about it, you will often stray away from pursuing this dream, but its always in your heart. When it is all clear, why not do the dream? God gave you the dream, because you have the heart to do it.

So, what are you waiting for? Every moment counts! Be the example, be the person you want to be, even before you are it. Stop dreaming it… make the dream come true!

Alot of others peoples dreams will develope when you do…

I can’t help but to smile everytime I see a flower. I can’t think of one flower that God created that isn’t beautiful. I love flowers! Even when something isn’t going great, just look and a flower, its something smiling at you even when nobody is around. I know alot of husbands who are in the service send there wife flowers while on deployments. If you don’t, you really should. It’s not hard, so many places to order online! Your wife truely misses you, and she is your number one supporter… Give her something to smile about.

My husband has been amazing at the flower department I must say! ANd if he is reading this… he prolly has a big smile across his face.

My favorite flower is the rose… any color! I love them all! My other favorite is a lily. It’s so cool that God created beautiful things in nature. Little reminders that God truly is there, and that we are blessed to expierence these living creations.

WE ARE MOVING!!!

I am so blessed to be on this earth! Does anyone else out there still feel the same? I have a news flash… we are not all doomed! I am the first to openly admit that times are tough, the ecomony stinks, and I have been personaly effected, but aside from all of that, I am the happiest person I have ever been. I am so thankful that I have a home, a husband, the tools to take me to-from work. I have the access to so many riches that so many people never have or will expierence. I use the term riches losely, because no I do not live in a multi-million dollar mansion, or drive the black covertable hard top M6 I have my eyes on. I drive a nice Volkwagon, I have a home…that I rent, I have a nice cell phone, and access to WIFI. Think about the generations before our time, and what they did or didn’t have. Think about the other countries that have nothing. How can I get upset at the small things, when really I already have everything!

I can honestly say that I am beyond frustration with the people around me, that I witness on a day by day life. We live in a generation full of selfish and overly depressed poor sport people. I will open up here, and tell you that life isn’t exactly sunshine and rainbows for me either, but I am sooo happy and excited about life, and the plan God has for me!

Recently now, more then ever, my excitment has been slowly melting away.  One of my goals of 2009, was personal development. It’s time that I eliminate the things, and the people who bring me down, in the attempt to better myself and others. For some, this will come across as rude, maybe snoty, but all in all… its about personal growth. I have been taking a good inventory of the people in social networks, work, gatherings, and even family that make me sad. Though I wish i could change them all, I can’t, and it’s not my job. Personal growth is done on each and everyones own personal ground. Sure we have influences, but thats mainly between you and God. 

There are people I admire, and other that bring me down. For my own personal growth I am eliminating the negative weeds that are bringing me down.  I think it is important that everyone take an inventory of their lifestyle, and how it may effect other people. If we all work on our personal development, we surely can make it through the tough times, joyfully.

It is very important for me to become the roll model, set the example, a leader, a diamond lady. I will be eliminating the things and people that bring this down. I cannot put forth any more energy to better you, when it’s only bringing me down. Like I said, personal development is between you and God.

1. The day I can go to the department store, buy something NOT on the clearance rack, and not feel bad about it.

2. The day I can spring for a bottle of wine at dinner, and not feel bad about it.

3. The day I get to close on a house and pick paint colors. I mean it just paint colors…but still

4. The day I don’t owe one person/company/debt collector a dime. I will do this!

These things mean alot to me, and I know that the plan God has set for my family will be more then just a dream, but reality.

Rainy days put me in this mood.

 

If the sun refused to shine, I would still be
loving you. When mountains crumble to the sea,
there will still be you and me.

Kind woman, I give you my all, Kind woman, nothing
more.

Little drops of rain whisper of the pain, tears of
loves lost in the days gone by. My love is strong,
with you there is no wrong, together we shall go
until we die. My, my, my. An inspiration is what
you are to me, inspiration, look… see.

And so today, my world it smiles, your hand in
mine, we walk the miles, Thanks to you it will be
done, for you to me are the only one. Happiness,
no more be sad, happiness….I’m glad. If the sun
refused to shine, I would still be loving you.
When mountains crumble to the sea, there will
still be you and me.

If you have been reading my blog, you know I am a BIG fan of Jeremy Camp. I just wanted to share this devotional video as wonderful words of encouragement. Times are rough right now for the greater part of our nations people.  If you truely believe these words,  God will whip away your tears, things will be better, even before eternal life.

I’ve had pain, and tears, but I never stopped believing that There Will Be a Day!

 

Amen?

Today was a wonderful day! I woke up without the sounds of  my alarm! Sophia was curled at my feet, Stella was by my side, and Eric close by too. We got around for church and headed out. The nature of Northern Michigan was beautiful! A nice thin layer of ice on all the trees was amazing. My car was not exactly fun to clear off. This will be the last night we leave it ourside of the garage! Anyways, I made it to worship practice prior to the service. It was nice to be back apart of the team.

Alot has changed in our life the past few months. Let’s just say my husband and I have stronger/thicker skin then we used to. We’ve delt with living arrangments, to leading people a hand, and then being used by the “friend”. Hubby and I have came to believe that we are alot closer then we used to be. The year 2008 just plain sucked. I can’t say it any other way, it was rough! I am not mad, nor do I blame God for what has happened. I am blessed to have been given these challenges. It’s all part of our testimony right?

When Eric and I first met, he introduced me to a business opportunity. Together we can grow our own business, that mentors to alot of people. It can help people! We have not been actively working at our goal for sometime, but that is all going to change this year. Alot of friends and family don’t believe in us, think its all a scam, we will raise above, and prove our success.

Not only are we working on our dream, but we are also working on our bodies. We are excited about living a long healthy life with our familys. We plan on having kids later in life, and want to have able healthy bodies to play with them! We only get this one life on earth, you should make it count and take pride in your body. It truely is your temple!

Keep in touch as my husband and I work on our mind, bodies, and soul!

 

God Bless!!!!
