Devastation

I can’t imagine the devastation. I can’t fathom it. I don’t want to. Seeing the footage on the news and the pictures online just leave a pit in my heart of sadness. Mother nature is uncontrollable, unpredictable…life changing. Children dead. Parents kissed their kids goodbye and sent them off to school not knowing that their lives are now forever changed. Some children are now left without parents or family members. Homes destroyed. Memories lost. So much sadness. All we can do is pray. Pray for recovery. Pray for a better future.

We take life for granted day in and day out. I’m guilty of it too. These tragedies happen and give us a blistering reminder of how precious life is and how quick it is changed. It leaves us feeling helpless and wondering how we can help. What can we do? How can we help them? Lend them a prayer, lend them your thoughts, lend them your heart.

Embrace each day. Embrace your family and friends. Life is precious. {I need to practice what I preach} Slow down. Take a deep breath. Enjoy life. Take one day at a time and don’t take it for granted.

Perfectly Imperfect

I have dignity, I have self respect, but lack self confidence.

I am a daughter, sister, mother & friend.

I've been burned. Burned bad. A burn that has forever changed "me" & who I "was". 

I have a calm demeanor but don't cross me (or mess with my kids, or my family).

I believe in tough love.

I believe that everything happens for a reason (the reasons often hard to see).

I believe that we do have a soul mate (I have found mine).

I doubt myself as being a good mother at times, though the love I have for my kids is endless.

I often get caught up in "life" & I am not the best "wife" but he loves me still & I am thankful.

I make mistakes.

I forgive. 

I give.

I support. 

I love. 

I am loved.

I am inspired.

I live life knowing that I have a purpose each day.

I am humble.

I am thankful.

I am perfectly imperfect.
