Hello All

Well, I have been dreaming about doing this for a long time and I have no idea what I am embarking on.  I have so many ideas running around in my head I have no idea where to start.  I have been a blog stalker for a long time, gathering home and teaching ideas.  I could go in so many different directions with this thing that it is driving me crazy.  This morning I figured it out

I am embarking on a year of small changes.  My adult life has been one huge roller coaster, in which I will reveal a little at a time, but will refrain from whining about, promise. (One choice you make in life can impact you for years to come, listen to your mom). Currently,  I am working on my health my home and my heart. I am a teacher and the alliteration helps me to remember my goals.    My health and my home have been easy to find sources that have met my needs. (Tell you more about that later).  My heart on the other hand has been a different  thing all together. 

I have been a Christian since I was seven years old.  I grew up in a Christian home and was very active growing up. As an adult I have participated in many bible study groups and had a quiet time that would rival that  of Beth Moore.   For the last three years, maybe two, I have found myself becoming more and more complacent, almost to the point of having no relationship at all.    I am going through the motions.  I sing on the praise team at my church.  I have my kids there all the time.  I am active in body but not in mind or spirit.  I find myself texting during church (I know, you would take your teens phone away for doing such a thing). My life is really good right now.  God is still blessing me, actually I am happier than I have been in years.  Although I have almost forgotten him, he has not at all forgotten me.  He reminds me daily he is taking care of me.  As I type this my eyes are leaking which is new to me (another story for another day).    I owe him sooooo much.  He owes me nothing but continues to give me everything.  I continue to look at how blessed I am and I am  ashamed of myself and my lack of gratitude.  Time for a change Ladies. 

I dreamed up the name of this blog two years ago and I will explain it later. I even wrote a few devotionals back when I dreamed up the name of the blog.  Maybe that is what I am suppose to do with this.    I chase rabbits constantly.  I know I will include things from teaching, to single parenting, to home ideas, to recipes, to parenting budding actresses and dancers and adhd children.  I deal with aging parents and aging ex in-laws that I love.  I manage an ex, who is a professional and has a mental illness and addiction issues.  I have some anxiety issues of my own and a health problem or two.  I love my children and friends more than you can imagine and embrace my singleness for now as a gift to grow and become the woman I am suppose to be.  With all that said, if you would like to join me on my journey, I plan on posting my 52 weeks of change on Saturdays.  My life is full and busy. I may post at three a.m. or two p.m.  Who knows. 

For now this is going to be a really plain boring blog.  Have no idea how to do anything.  Hope I can figure it out. 

Hope you have a blessed week.
