From Brave Girls Club. Saturday, March 23, 2013. Getting Artsy and Crafty. Now that Spring Break is over and we are back to our regularly scheduled programming, I have some things to share. First, I want to share with you something nice that my friend RLD made. He had been looking through the Internet for something to do with a broken plate. He found Kintsugi. Skills he learned from watching me and from the Internet. The result is below. On to my latest project.I enrolled in Mixed Emotions. He told me he...

So I Was Just Thinking: January 2014
http://soiwasjust.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
From Brave Girls Club. Sunday, January 12, 2014. I started this blog almost six year ago. And, yes, it has been dormant for a bit. This is mostly because of Facebook. Before Facebook, if my kids did something silly or interesting or if I felt I had something "profound" to say, I would post it on Blogger. Now, it is so quick and easy to share these ramblings as a status update. I am sure many bloggers feel the same way. Playlist has gone in the direction of online radio sites like Pandora. Instead of ...

Explains my life in one word. Friday, January 29, 2010. I made cinnamon buns yesterday.many were eaten. I'm sorry. Friday, January 22, 2010. Scream and then jump for joy the next minute. Actually want to have a hug. Want to break down the walls I have built around me and let myself go. Not be so overwhelmed everyday, all day. Relax and not feel guilty. Feel blessed every single day and not take ANYTHING for granted. Friday, January 15, 2010. What I did today.so far. Here's my Roasted Carrot Soup! Goals f...

Explains my life in one word. Friday, April 23, 2010. So, here I am.here I am. It could have been a lot different. My running group "The Sole Sisters" took a trip down to Wenatchee, Washington this past weekend.

It was a funweekend with 13 of us staying in one house and going out to eat a lot and doing some great shopping. Did I mention shopping? Yikesmy hands are shaking as I type this. WHAT HAVE ...

Explains my life in one word. Thursday, November 4, 2010. One week ago.I had 2 surgeries. One week ago I was sitting in the admitting station at KGH getting checked in for my surgery and thinking.I am soooo nervous and scared. It was the kind of anxiety I had when I had all my children. Walking into the hospital, looking at all the people I pass by and wonder "what is their story? Are they in pain, are they rejoicing, are they for ever changed in some way? I even fell asleep after I had one bite of my cr...

Explains my life in one word. Saturday, January 15, 2011. This delicate flower is losing her petals. Have you ever had "one of those weeks" where everything just SUCKS! Pick me, I sure did. What is up with that? I am really needing to grow some sort of thick skin so things don't bother me and I can stand up for myself but I also need to soften my heart. God humble me and soften my heart.I need it. Here's a great verse:. Words to live by. Psthe person who made up the saying "enjoy your children while they...

Explains my life in one word. Sunday, May 16, 2010. This super mom has lost her super powers. Life these days has been a blur. Seems like the better the weather, the busier we are. I love being busy but not when you are sick. One day I will have my super powers back, but in the mean time, I kinda like a bit of an early retirement! And the doctor said, "no more BMX. Mel, put that bike away until you are better! They get them back when the snow falls! I am still swimming across lake Okanagan.
