Big Thanks to ALL

I owe a BIG THANKS to all the ladies at RL- Sharon, Chris, Denise, Becky and all the friends I have made while attending the great demos. Thanks for all the INSPIRATION!!!!!!!!!!! A BIG THANK YOU for your friendship.

The DOLL previously posted was inspired by DENISE's Doll class which was fabulicious (is that how you spell it Denise????????). I had a BLAST.

The ATCs were created at RED LEADS Sunday ATC gathering. Thanks to Michel M. for the creative vibes she was sending my way.

MUSIC

MUSIC is one of my favorite things. The earliest memory I have of music, that I can remember, is that my dad always played music for us. He had tons of records. I remember dancing and just loving to listen to whatever he played. I remember my parents watching SOUL TRAIN and I used to love watching all the people on there dance.

Have you ever payed close attention to a favorite song and how it can bring up a feeling. It's weird, but if I listen to an old song that I really liked I can link it to a time in my life and a feeling I might have felt back then.

My kids love it as well. I play it all the time and so does my husband. My dad still has his old records somewhere and tons of tapes. He still JAMS....................

I owe the love of music to my dad.

Today

Today I am grateful for all the things in my life. The good things. I am grateful for my children, my home, my somewhat artistic talent.

One day I think I will like myself, but don't know when. For now, I am grateful for the good things in my life that GOD has give me.

What's wrong with me

I wish I was perfect sometimes or maybe I try to hard to be. When will I be happy with myself or who I am. Why do I care what people think. Am I always wrong or am I right, but they make me out to be wrong. Who knows. Maybe, it's all a game or maybe not. When will I finally just be ME without guilt of not being perfect.

I was thinking this morning maybe I am a closet mean person. Maybe, I am tooo quiet because I am insecure and people think I am stuck on myself. Can I just go back to being the true ME that I was long ago. Maybe, the two people that screwed me a few years back have caused my insecurities and my untrustfullness. Can I say this that J & M really messed me up. They truly -uck......................

I wish they knew that their decision they made without thinking has affected ME so much NOW.......

They will never know...............................

SAD news

I found out today that my friend Efren has finally passed to the other side. It does sadden me, but I think I am still in shock. I want to cry, but I can't and don't know why I am holding it in. Maybe, knowing that his death was inevitable has helped me with the news. I hope he is in a better place. I was really hoping for a miracle. I truly was.

LOVE YA EFREN I know one day I will see ya again..................

Today I am at PEACE

Today I am at peace because I got to go visit my friend EFREN that is dying of cancer. I did not know if I was going to be able to do such a hard thing. How do you visit a friend that is dying and he knows he is dying. I know I made a fool of myself when I was talking to him, but I did not know how to act.............

I am so grateful that I got the opportunity to get there on time and at least share a few moments with him before I had to return back to St. Louis. I will always remember him and I know he has taught me a lesson or two. CHERISH EACH MOMENT...................................
