Do You Have Friends?

OK Mama's--I know that I am not the only one who says, "What are they?" when asked about your friends. How many of you feel like the minute that you became a Mama, friends just disappeared?

Guess What - It is okay! Yup-I totally just said that. There are periods of my life where I felt like I had no friends AT ALL. Of course, this wasn't exactly true, but it felt that way. When you are a homeschooling Mama, who works from home and has ANY kiddos, where do you have time for friends???

I used to be picked on for being the "unsocial" friend. But guess what...I may only have a handful of friends that I do not see merely enough but they are there! When I need them, I can count on them. Even when they live on the other side of the country.

Want to know what -- most of them are online friends. Yup--they count! After joining Young Living I was included in a members only Facebook group that has ~~almost~~ been even more amazing than the products themselves. Our group has created awesome friendships I never would have imagined.

And, I know what you are thinking. I don't REALLY know these people so how can they be friends. Well, yes, yes I do. I have traveled with these people in REAL life and really met them. I know that may sound crazy and at one point in my life it would have sounded crazy to me too.....but they are some of my best friends now! As you can see above they really are REAL!

And Hey, with technology you can have a best friend half way across the world and still "talk" every day!

SO--this is to encourage all of you Mommas who are elbow deep in diapers, vomit, school books, or any of the other daily occurances. There are ways to find wholesome blessed friendships. Just because you don't wanna have someone in front of you in your dirty kitchen, you can still have good friends!!!

Loving an MLM, seriously?!?!?!

I am the girl who likes to be home, like never leave home, have peace and quiet, and am afraid of people ;) I have never "sold" anything in my life (before a year ago), and I rarely tell people about things I love because I just assumed they really didn't care. I have always worked from home, but at a "real" business. The hubs and I own an electrical contracting business and I have always run the home office. How many hubs get to go home with the secretary 😀 Well, I am the last person I would have ever expected to fall in love with a MLM business. I am very skepticle of things and like I said....PEOPLE! But, as I often do, I have surprised myself. I got started with Young Living as part of a 15 year journey to get some answers and freedom for a hubs that suffered from severe chronic migraines. Little did I know that this company would radically change our lives! Not only have we tackled the migraines, we have learned as a family and healt...

Sonya Jean

This is a song I wrote for my sister and few years ago. Here is part of her story that I told in another post: My sister's story Sonya Jean I wish I had one more day, I wish I had just one more day. If someone had told me that this was the way; I would have wished for just one more day. The good Lord giveth, and He taketh away, I wish I had just one more day. Such short time on Earth, you had to live; And in that time you had so much to give. A mother, sister and a daughter, A spirit filled with fun and laughter. As sickness came to take you away, I held tight to every day. I wish I had one more day, I wish I had just one more day. If someone had told me that this was the way; I would have wished for just one more day. The good Lord giveth, and He taketh away, I wish I had just one more day. So many things I should have said, Sitting there beside your bed. The most important we covered, The day you prayed and Jesus ...

Is Truth Black and White, Grey or Multicolored??

TRUTH- what does this mean to you? Is truth black and white, grey or multicolored? I have a hard time with this one to be honest. I like Black and white! It seems simpler when the rules are one or the other. Almost like I don't really need to make the decision, I just need to choose one of the two choices and be done with it. Very little thinking is required in my black and white mind. BUT--LIFE! Life does not allow for all things to be black and white. This causes me some stress sometimes. Like I said, black and white is easier for me. Sometimes grey is the color for the day and this requires thought, prayer and actually making a decision. Hard Work! I have been pondering this concept a lot lately because I feel that many times, way too often actually, we are raised with ideas or "rules" that we have become accustomed to that we never really thought much about. I have begun to question many of my beliefs in a ton o...
