Sweet sweet surrender
fists calmly relax by my sides
your whisper is so tender.
releasing the flow of tension and fear that I ride.

Life is knowing when to let go
knowing what to fight for 
and when to just watch the show.

The key to happiness is maintaining balance
feed the soul, keep a healthy body & happy mind.
Use creativity & your talents
and a joyous life you shall find.

Be still and just listen
the answers will come.
You just need to surrender
And let thy destiny be done.

"Got to be true to myself"

Sitting here jamming with Ziggy Marley tonight. "Got to be true to myself," the lyrics he uses gives his music authenticity. It resonates with me anyway. I give major respect to song writers that send out truly inspiring messages. The spoken words of truth, love and positivity. It makes me question why I even listen to anything else. If I had enough energy and time, I'd like to reorganize our lives here with only positively inspiring movies, music and literature. And rid our lives of all the other crap. The crap that lowers our vibrational flow.

I'm 37 years old. My mind is hungry for knowledge. My body is tired, but my creativity is burning from within, just waiting for an outlet. I feel ready, & willing for a new journey in life. There could be a move on the horizon. The big change I long for. I'm placing my trust in the universe with this one. If it's time & meant to be, the right doors will open for us. We are ready to trade in the paved busy city life, for serene green acres. But within a few miles of a shopping mall please. LOL Oh hell, right now I really want to be on a tropical beach drinking a pina colada. Vacation please?

Summer vacation has been running smoothly thus far. Jake hasn't really been much of a pain yet. Could he be maturing finally? We all slept in for the first time today 12pm Oh my! I've been on a strict schedule up early and to bed early for a long while now. It helps with my hunger and energy levels. But I've been slacking off with the gym (makes me so mad at myself). I'm lingering at 139lbs. Urg!!! Maybe I need to surgically remove the final 9-15lbs? I could stand a tuck here and there ;) Replace it into my itty bitty titties. LOL!!!

We got the kids a new pet this past weekend. Obi Wons the Ferret. So far he fits in perfectly with his goofball personality. Always stealing shoes. He's a cutie, lighter fur with a big nose. He's about 6 months old and I don't think he's even been out of a cage until he came home with us. He gets so excited when he's let out. The cats are warming up to him too. I've noticed since bringing Obi home, the cats have been more lovable. Odd. The kids get a real kick out of him too. I'm looking forward to teaching him tricks. Right now we are trying to teach him not to bite. He get's excited and nips.

Dana is getting all of her dorm room shopping done this week. I took her out a few times, bonding time. Can't believe it. She's staying on campus. It's going to feel so weird not having her here with us. I'm so proud of how she's grown. Not giving in to peer pressure, or city troubles that teens usually fall victim to. We're really lucky parents. And we're close! We have such a great friendship. I'm so thankful that she's able to pursue her dreams. Go get 'em girl!  AU!!!

So lately, I've been feeling like I have things to actually say. So more blogs to come.

Closer to Home.



 

She walks barefoot upon the earth,
a little closer to home.
Ears open to the wind,
she hears Mother calling.
Eyes peeled to the skies,
she's lost within eternity.
And finds herself there.

Amongst the stars
Soaring with the comets,
The vast space envelops her.
And she is once again whole.
