OK, so today I am trying to put all of the rest of the pictures from our San Diego trip up so that I can start blogging about what is happening now. January is almost over and I feel like it has just started.

I'm having the same problem with blogging. I feel like I have to catch up on the old stuff so I can blog about now! :) And do you want to know a secret? I hate Love You Forever! I don't know why, I just hate it. I think it's creepy! I haven't seen P.S. I Love You yet but I'm dying to. I need a good cry! :)
I thought is was weird that she would rock him and sing to him while he was already asleep. Is that what is creepy about it to you? Like she might as well let him know that she cares so much about him. I think the thing that really got to me was no matter all of the "bad" stuff that he was doing at different stages in his life she always loved him.
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
-Marianne Williamson
“And now here is my secret, a very simple secret; it is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye.”
-Antoine de Saint-Exupery
We need always to ask what we are doing to our spirit. Is the divine within us being nurtured, or do our actions prevent the Spirit from becoming the predominant force in our lives? -Kathleen H. Hughes
I am a mother of 5 children under the age of 9. I graduated from BYU with a Linguistics major and Russian and TESL minors. I went to grad school there to get my TESOL certificate and taught English as a second language for a few years until I transitioned to being a full-time mom. My family and I recently moved to Pennsylvania from Utah and we are getting used to living in this new place. My husband is from Ukraine and is enjoying his career designing spinal implants and other medical devices. I really enjoy blogging because it helps me stay in touch with family and friends and is a nice outlet for me to express myself, and reflect on my children's development. I really appreciate and welcome comments to my blog.
How can I remember to see the best in people and give them the benefit of the doubt, in the moment that I am upset with them? Maybe a better question is how do I stop from getting upset so easily, but also not being apathetic? How do I become one of those people who is calm and content, and knows just what to say to help others?
