The Podcast

My husband and I were approached several months ago by an independent film maker acquaintance to put some lyrics of his to music. We did - and it was a lot of fun! We've received some great response to it. This week we were interviewed for a podcast about the song. You can find it here --> http://virtualsongcast.blogspot.com/
Oh, yeah ... the song is called "Once Upon A Time (In My Thoughts You Were Mine)" - lyrics by Jason Crannell, music by Brian Bonell (mostly) and Leisl Bonell (partly). This was my first forray into the whole song writing experience.

Happy Birthday!

Seventeen years ago I was given the most amazing gift imaginable. This gift completely changed my life, turning it upside and rearranging everything I thought about everything. Seventeen years ago I became a mother for the very first time. Seventeen years filled with joy, fear, frustration, celebration, laughter, tears, screams, smiles, pride, anger, adoration, giggles, quizzacles, learning, adulation, love. The tiny little baby that God entrusted me to guide through this world is now a beautiful, intelligent, witty, talented, amazing young woman. I cannot even remember the world without her in it.

My Favorite Christmas Tree


We went last weekend to buy our Christmas tree and my youngest found this little branch laying on the ground. She picked it up and carried it all over the lot with her. When she asked the tree lot guy if she could have it, he, of course, said yes. She brought it home and fashioned this tree stand out of a bud vase and flower pot - my husband helped her put the rocks around the vase to hold it upright. Then she decorated it all by herself. Aaaawwwww! It reminds me so much of Charlie Brown's tree. It makes me smile just to look at it. I love Christmas!

Anger

It's time to stop being angry and remember the love, the bond. If you continue to hold on to your anger and resentment and she refuses to let go of her anger and resentment and they pick up on all the anger and resentment and it hurts and confuses and infuriates them and they can't let it go ... it's a never ending cycle that encourages and nurtures hate. It's gotta stop! If she won't let go and he won't let go and they won't let go ... why don't you just let go? Somebody needs to. Just ... let ... go. Let go of the anger. Let go of the resentment. Let go of the hurt. Open your heart and find the love. It's in there.

Life is much too short to spend it angry.

School Charity Drive

My daughter's high school usually does the Sub for Santa as their charity drive. This year, because of all the devastation in the Gulf States from the hurricanes, they've decided to make Habitat for Humanity their school charity. They've set a goal of reaching $30,000. Please help them reach this goal. Donations of all sizes are welcome.

Donate online here:
