hmm...

When I take care of me, it's easier to take care of you.
When I aid in filling myself up, I can help you be full too.
When I take care of me, I'm better at wanting to take care of you.


Such basic thoughts. But wow do they ever become a reality when living in a relationship.

Self-Care

I'm reminded more and more about how important it is to take care of myself.
I'm responsible for me, and if 'me' isn't doing all that well, one of the first things to ask is,

'when was the last time i did something that rejuvenates me?'

So tonight, I think I will set aside some time to do some journalling. Just for me. And I'm going to listen to whatever music I want, no matter how silly, because I'll be the only one listening. And I'll write whatever I want, because I'm the only one who is going to be reading it!

What have you done for yourself lately?

Thankful for the family and the farm animals

Thanksgiving was phenomenal!! The farm was beautiful, and Kody's family is lovely. Absolutely lovely. It was heart warming to be in a small town again.. oh how I love it so! I can't wait for a few years to pass and the time comes for us to relocate somewhere smaller!

sigh

Anyway, we had a great day taking pics at the farm and here's some of the fun:





We also had some unbelievable food and some huge laughs!

Thanksgiving

My family's tradition on Canadian Thanksgiving is to go around the table, before anyone eats, and say one thing we're thankful for.

This year, the thing I'm most thankful for is Kody. The man who has swept me off my feet!

Love you beb :P



What are YOU thankful for?

Sex Trafficking

Powerfully intense PSA about sex trafficking.

emotional.
disturbing.
gut wrenching.
disgusting.

If this PSA makes us feel any of those things, we should do something about it. Don't you think?

get out of BED!

So I woke up this morning with every intention of going to the other room and "spending some time with God". (I put it in quotations because really, when are we NOT with God? You know?) However, my alarm went off and I just couldn't bring myself to get out of bed.

So I determined to at the very least, be productive, and pray!

Yes, I fell in and out of consciousness a few times, but I prayed for an hour, and for so many people. And I eventually DID get up and I wrote in my journal... for only about 5 minutes, but still! :)

With all of your prayers, and with at least SOME intentionality about being quiet with God, suddenly I'm SO ENERGIZED for the day! Smiling, laughing, and ready to take on the world!

I love that.
I love LIFE!

blessings!!!
