Letters to My Kids and Others

I used to write poetry, someday maybe I will start again. Until then I will use the words of others. In this world of non-stop media there are so many negative images daily it can be overwhelming for adults. I cannot even begin to imagine how this is going to impact the current generation. How can we possibly teach our kids what is truly important? I think much will come from our example, but sometimes I think we need to spell it out.

So, this is for my kids. Here are several poignant letters from other people that I second. Never sell yourselves short to keep up with media hype. God has so much in store for each of you! Love, Mom

(this one has some profanity in the blog post, but the letter is clean and well stated.)

( you know your parents will follow through on the threats in this one, try us :)

And Finally, for all of the women in my life, be kind to yourself and remember that we are each doing the best we can!

I know these are mommy related, but even those who are not in the mommy stage,
I love you!
God Loves You!

Be happy where you are in the journey,
and remember who you are!



Last, but not least...Mike is the most amazing man I know! I am thankful everyday for his love, for the way he cherishes me and our kids. Thanks for choosing me for eternity Babe! This song made me feel so many emotions, the strongest of which was greater gratitude for each moment we have together...
