From House Wife To Film Maker

“Some things take years to learn, and seconds to understand.” I pulled this quote out of the blog called, “Becoming Jennie”.  Jennie is 26 and on the same path as I: finding herself for the first time and creating a new life.  Transformation is taking place in her life.  I only wish I could have [...]

Today. Great day.  Up at 6…  Again.  I do hope this doesn’t become a pattern…  Off to Gadsen, an hour away, to work a booth.  Back home to have a meeting with John1.  Off to get Zach.  Go to the “Christmas Carol” movie and a lunch of popcorn and Sprite.  The popcorn was terrific.  The [...]

When my children were growing I did everything I could that I thought would allow them to grow into strong and sturdy adults. Taught them how to interact with the adult world: how to ask for what they wanted, how to  approach adults with questions or for what they wanted/needed.  How to articulate their thoughts, shop [...]

Con’t From these previous posts: “What’s that you say??  Total honesty??” and “Looooonnnnng history of lying. . .” Lying is insidious.  
Someone that begins to lie for certain reasons, in specific areas over time can’t contain it.  Without noticing it slowly creeps around and sends off shoots like vines on the side of a house.  [...]

Con’t from the last post. As I was saying… I have a loooooooong history with lying.  Goes back to when I was a kid.  Lying was typically preferred to slaps in the face.  The belt across my legs.  Things like that.  I tried being truthful.  But somehow it just didn’t seem to work as well.  [...]

TODAY… was more of the same.  Locked to my computer, making it happen.  Left around 4:45, got my kids, went to the new Silly Bandz store and got them the Christmas set, went to Barnes and Nobel we all drooled over books, the kids submitted an addendum to their Christmas lists, then to Walmart with [...]

Had a meeting with John1 today we talked for hours about the “newest addition” that we’ve branched into as a result of working on the Red Book and Cotton project.   This project, like writing a book, is leading us.  Showing us where to go… About a week or two ago John1 became burdened with what [...]

Wrote this earlier annnnnd didn’t post it.  Again.  I seem to be having a problem clicking the publish button in the last 24 hours, shaking my head… I’m back.  Now that I’m here I had this overwhelming urge not to leave before sharing my waking thoughts, which were centered on overcoming my feelings of worthlessness.  [...]

I finally got a chance to re-read my last post and I see where I could have improved it.  But, as I said already, I needed to wrap it up.  I’m sort of blank with where to go now.  I think the hour and the activity of the day are influencing that, it’s 2 am [...]

So I’ve ambled all around my wonderland through the last four posts and  I could have left it with the last, I suppose.  Lead you somewhere for it to end up nowhere.  Like a poorly written movie that doesn’t take the end all the way.  But those movies disgust me and besides my blog is [...]
