My Magical One


An impish smile. Sparkling green eyes that mimic a dark mossy redwood forest. An imagination that you share with me on a daily basis.  You make me laugh, wonder, and ask questions of my own. You are a wonderful creation. One so perfect, I could not have even fathomed such a lovely creature in my dreams. 

Just the right amount of timidity and tenderness. Bravery mixed with bossiness, while adding both vivaciousness and velocity. You are the sparkly pink whirlwind in my life. The small hand that clutches mine when you are scared, yet pushes me away when you are ready to explore. The artist of mine who knows what she wants, and the little inquisitive explorer of mine who asks away when her mind is wondering.

You, my love, are a piece of me, but only one. For you are made of so many pieces that have been fashioned together to make you YOU. A brilliant, dazzling, mosaic of times before and those who have long departed. 

You are your own girl. 

Your little voice telling me, "Mommy, I just love you soooo much!!!" makes my heart melt every time. The way your little hands take my face in them, and kiss me with your sweet little girl smooches, make my worries disappear. 

You soothe my soul with your pixie dust. Keep spreading that magic my girl, for the world needs more of it. More of what makes our worries less, and our present time together more of a gift. 

You are a blessing.

I look at you and can't help to be renewed. I see the casual way that you walk in your own skin. Skipping and singing without the worry of what you are wearing or who is watching. The world means nothing to you. You are constantly jumping, spinning, and twirling to the song in your tender heart. You sing and dance, for the joy it brings you, and not your audience. You are enjoying the journey and for now you know nothing of wishing your body was different.  I pray you never will. 

For you, my love, are perfect. 

You possess a quality of innocence that reminds me of the essence that we all had as children. 

Perhaps if we could all tap into this more often, and remember where our seeds of childhood reside, we too could have a day where we sprinkle pixie dust. What a magical world that would be.

Keep making the world a better place my magical one.

A Bee-U-tiful New Journey

            Two years ago, I took a leap of faith.  A door opened and I walked through it.   To say it was not scary leaving something that for 20 years had become my normal routine, would be a lie. Doubt filled thoughts danced through my head. Would I like the new change? Would it financially work out? What if it was short lived? What would I do then?   However,  there was this voice inside my head. It was quiet, yet persistent. It said, Take the Risk .             Looking back now, I believe that this voice was the Holy Spirit. I decided to listen and not look back.  This journey has taken me to so many physical and emotional places and it has been an amazing journey.  I have met positive visionaries from all over the world. People who are now part of the tapestry of my life. They are threads that continue to add dimension and color to the ever changing art piece.   ...

Seeds of Tomorrow

      New Beginnings are an exciting time.  Things are both fresh and fragile. There is both an anticipation and wonder of what will be. It is a time of learning and exploration as well as reflection and planning.             New beginnings are also just, that. NEW. They give us a chance to start over with a fresh slate. Maybe it is a new haircut,  a new house, a new job, or even just a new daily routine. The amazing part of this is that each day we are greeted with newness, even if we don't change anything about our lives. The fact that the day starts over fresh and new is our reset button. We even have the opportunity to hit that reset button in the middle of the day. It is our choice.             Yet many of us, myself included,  rush through our routines with to-do lists that never get completed and end our days with just as much frustration and stress as the day before. ...

Batter Up---"My Messy Beautiful"

     In my pre-parenthood days, there was a lot of advice that was given freely from many sources. Some of it was appreciated, some of it was filed away for when the time came for transitioning from nursing to solid food, and many times I just naively rolled my eyes and swore I wouldn't be 'that' parent.     Looking back, having ten parenting years under my belt, it seems that much of that advice revolved around adjusting to having a baby, the months after the baby arrives, how to lose the baby weight, and how to juggle all the newness and nerve wracking events all rolled into one. This can be a very messy time for sure.     But where I sit now, there is much more that I would have liked to know about before getting into this profession called parenting, and I mean that with all sincerity. In fact, there is not much in terms of job experience that has gone undone in the last ten years.     I have wiped, changed, and cleaned every person, ...
