The Yellow Ribbon

Yellow Ribbon

I had the opportunity to spend the day watching my boys participate in their all school track and field day.  Of course, if you know me, a few days prior I was worried that it would be really hot and that I would have to figure out how to stay cool with out getting “funky”

Daily KIP: Reflect over the past 48 hours. What portion of your words spoken were uplifting, encouraging, and positive? What portion of your words were gossip, negative, and destructive? Pay attention to your words today. Look for opportunities to encourage and lift others up. Hold your tongue when you are upset or tempted to gossip.

Flying a Kite

Last week, I had the opportunity to road trip it to Kansas City with my husband, he had a business meeting on Monday so I tagged along.  I love traveling with him especially when we drive.  We have the best conversations, I read books out loud to him, and of course I sing OUT LOUD

Daily KIP: Learning to pay attention. We can look EVERYWHERE for answers and completely miss them. Paying attention to people, situations, quiet moments, creation, and other aspects in life could be just what we are looking for. God speaks to us in MANY ways……..are you paying attention?

Back In The Day

Being a mom is, I believe, one of the most important jobs I will ever have. It is a gift I have been given, and I take it very seriously. This week in particular, I felt very conflicted with balancing work and home. Maybe it was because it was the first week back to work

Daily KIP:  Turn off your cell phone, PDA, iPhone, or whatever distraction it might be and give someone your undivded attention today. The greatest gift we can give another person is the gift of ourselves. Share with us how this made a difference today.
