EMULATE the SUNFLOWER

This year with being so new to the ward and our Trunk or Treat combining with the other two wards in the building I wasnt so sure about going by myself since Ryan works nights now. So..........I decided to go with my niece and newphew to their Trunk or Treat instead. It was so fun to pull up to my sister and brothers house and see Isaac so excited to have his Monkey costume on and to tell me about his Pumpkin pail and how he is to get candy! We went to their ward building and Kyle prepped his trunk as Kim and I took the kids around to each car. I was the photographer and had so much fun trying to capture Isaac going up to the cars and just loving watching his facial expressions as he got his pumpkin pail filled. Alyssa was so fun to watch as well. I have had the jack-o-lantern costume for years now and it has been in storage just waiting to be used. I was pretty excited to let Alyssa use the costume and I thought she looked so cute in it! I loved watching her walk around in i...

First off THANK YOU so much for your sweet and loving words that you left from my last post. I am so thankful for such WONDERFUL friends and familly! I am doing SOOOOOOO much better!!!!  I cant help but think of the STAPLES commerical when they talk about the   EASY BUTTON Well I havnt pushed the EASY BUTTON I pushed the   RESET button! The RESET button has allowed me to OPEN my eyes and look at things again the way I used to and begin to fill OK where I am in life in EVERY aspect! I start my day now with thoughts of: Today is going to be the BEST day because I get to go and see...... Today I get to do my playgroup and I love helping and working with.............. Today I am so thankful for my job and the opprotunity it offers me............. Then after each home visit I go over it in detail as I drive and pick out the special moments that touched my heart and confirm to me why I am there and say THANK YOU to Heavenly Father. ...

I am sure that you all remember or have heard of the song, Message in a Bottle, and the ending chorus saying, "Sending out and S.O.S." The chorus has been ringing in my head the past week. As I think back on what has been occuring over the past few months maybe even years, I think that my body was finally getting the message to my brain after a VERY long time, that I need help and I need it fast! My body has been trying to shout out the CRY in so many ways but I disreguarded it and brushed it a side. How could : extreme fatigue, loss of hair, want for sleep and more sleep,  the want to be alone, crying uncontrolablly for no reason, series of rage and then guilt, saddness, being amongst so many people that love me but feel alone, acne like I was a teenager again but I never experienced acne as a teenager so it made my feelings of myself even worse, grey hairs popping up all over my head where they werent there a week ago, or even months ag...
