Warm Hearts Happy Family

Answered Prayers

2012-05-18T23:08:00.001-04:00

Out of nowhere, every prayer I have prayed to God, for the past 5 years, has been answered. Almost all at once.

I am beyond humbled.

I am filled with gratitude.

I dreamed of being a stay at home mom.

I prayed for my husband to find his calling, and settle into a career that will give him self confidence, and the ability to provide for our family.

I prayed for my own answers, worked daily to figure out my higher calling in this space.

I prayed for the courage to become an author.

I have been given the life I thought was never possible. I feel like I don't deserve it, and am terrified all of this will go away as quickly as it came.

But I promise to be grateful everyday. I promise to continue to do the things that bring me happiness and light, and I will strive to follow Gods plans for my life.

Baby sleeps. Miracles do happen.

Today my baby took a two hour nap totally independent of me. This, I am overwhelmingly thankful for.

Faith

2012-04-02T14:17:00.000-04:00

To follow the desires God put into your heart honors Him. That is the beginning of discovering your true path in this life.

I am thankful to believe this with both my heart and my mind. I believe it, for the first time, because I can feel it, and can see it working in my life. And believing this has enveloped me in a peaceful calm, like a warm blanket of faith that gently landed on my shoulders when I didn't even know I was cold.

I am thankful for baby teeth, don't ask me why. But when my one-year-old smiles at me with her one, big white top tooth, my heart brightens just a shade lighter.

Goofy grin little angel, I love you.

Put good, honest, caring, compassionate, and thoughtful energy into the world and good things will come back at you. Be yourself, don't get caught up in negativity, and don't focus on the wrongs others will do to you. Keep peace with the knowledge that the truth and all that is good within you will always triumph!

Dear Universe:

Can you please send a staff writing job my way? Preferably an advice column, or a space to create positive and real commentary about love, life, and the pursuit of happiness. Or give me my own space in the advertisement and marketing world. OR a little slice of narrative heaven, creating back story and compelling, descriptive commentary for TV.

Dream job.

Too much to ask? I thought so too...

Positivity nourishes my spirit

2011-05-25T20:27:00.005-04:00

I am feeling sluggish, down, and unmotivated. I keep writing about living out your dreams and living a genuine life and yet here I am in the exact same spot, another year later (with the addition of a new ball of squirming beauty that is).

My life isn't bad, in fact I am so blessed in so many ways. I have a good job, great husband, and children that seem to be plucked straight from my dreams. I am just missing something, and I don't even know what it is...

The real issue is confidence and believing in myself. Every time an opportunity comes my way I seem to either sabotage it, or completely ruin it with my lack of feeling worthy. So here I sit in the same professional and financial rut and I am so ready to climb out. But what path to take...

Now I know why most of my posts are full of irritatingly up-beat messages; these short three paragraphs were hard for me to get out. I thrive on positivity, positive messages, and positive people. And with that last sentence I now know my whole purpose for this post. Positivity. I need it just as I need water and light and when it is lacking I can not breathe. I will do my best to put out a positive and energetic vibe in all I do, in hopes for the same in return.
