Favorite candy and soda at the grocery store… $12

2 custom pizzas from the local joint… $22.

Immediate ROCKSTAR status among those you love… PRICELESS!

“Battlefield of The Mind” by Joyce Meyer April 21, 2008

So honestly…first off… I…unfortunately…am a pretty negative pitty party person.  My cup is always pretty much half empty and the whole world it out to get me.  It’s basically all about me, you see.

I don’t trust others and I judge things by their cover… all of the time.  Ya want to be friends?  Yeah…didn’t think so.

Anyway…recently during a very dark time a good friend encouraged me to read this book.  It was life altering.  I am not kidding when I say that I may read it over and over for the rest of my life as a constant reminder.

I am not going to try to give you a synopsis because I couldn’t begin to tell you how much it has to offer.  I wouldn’t know where to start.  All I can say is that if you have problems controlling your thoughts, anxiety, depression, pride, poor self image, and so many others… please try this book.

It is truly amazing how much power you truly have over your mood and demeaner.  You walk away each time empowered each time you pick it up.

I am happy to say that for about a month now (which feels amazing) I have been able to conquer my wild unruly mind.  I have been free fom my severe anxiety and depression.  I have had to battle with it and it isnt like magic but now that I can realize what the problem is and how to get rid of it I can overcome it.

I am extremely thankful and have become much more warm in my heart region.  Others appreciate that part too!

I’m Back Home And Feelin’ It! April 21, 2008

So, I am back from 2 weeks of being in a hotel room and surprisingly I feel good.  A while back I wrote the entry “Keep This Vibe” about feeling inspired and positive.  Well, I still got it!

I mean, there was maybe 1 moment I almost let myself get down and I recognized it and fought like hell.  You know what…I won.  (Well, God won, really.)

I am going to do a seperate entry on how I have been able to keep it up!

It is just nice to feel happy.  I am grateful.  People in my world are great.

Home, Fweet, Home April 21, 2008

Man, my poor 2.5 yr old has been begging to come home for days now and finally we’ve arrived!  Both kids were so happy.  Sissy just played happily in her crib, laughing away with all of her old friends and Will went exploring to visit his long lost toys and favorite spots! 

Glad the 9 hour drive is behind us!  Now onto the marathon pack the whole house up to move in 2 weeks!!!
