Life is Good!

This week has been a good week in so many ways. LOTS of changes going on and many of them are good ones.

This week I had the opportunity to talk with exercise expert, Susan Powter on the phone. What an amazing woman! She's so inspiring and encouraging to help you get on your journey "to fit". She has helped get me on a different way of life with exercise and eating and thinking. I can't wait to see the changes. And the hardest thing? I'm not allowed to step ONE FOOT on my scale for the next 90 days. Yikes! You wouldn't think that to be hard, but it really is. Especially when you see your body changing (for the good) and want to see how much weight you've lost. But she told me that if I do, I could destroy ANY progress I've made. So that's my promise, I will NOT step on the scale for the next 90 days.

At this same time, I started an online class called "Help! I don't know where to begin!" from Simplify 101. This class have helped me learn how to move from feeling overwhelmed to feeling motivated, inspired and empowered to get organized and to learn a simple approach for decluttering your home. And you know what? It's working!!! I am SO feeling empowered and dedicated to getting my house in order and KEEP it there. LOTS and LOTS of bags going in the trash or being donated. It's wonderful.

Getting the kids ready for the start of school next week. Picked up their schedules (already knew Amber's. I'm very please with David's classes and teachers. It should be a good year for him.

Friday we had an unexpected house guest for the night. Tabitha!! Josh was off at a Cub Scout overnight campout so Tabitha came and played with us, ate our food, jumped on our bed, chatted into the wee hours of the morning (1 am-ish) with Amber and David being the typical 12 year old brother. It was just too fun :D

Then Church today was just amazing! The kind where you are so filled. Where your Spirit is rejuvenated and guided to know how the Lord wants you to be and act and do. So I just have to share some video's that sink into my soul today.

This first one has many memories with it. Especially of one amazing piano player (Robert) that does this piano run the best.



And this next one goes along with what our Bishop shared with us today. Having our offerings to the Lord being a "broken heart and contrite spirit". This song just went along so well with his message. (Thanks Tabitha)



Please remember how blessed we all are, no matter our struggles and difficulties. Our lives are in God's hands.

We are all loved and Life is Good!
