Life is a spinning staircase...

Every day we get up thinking today is a new day and I'm going to conquer it.  I'm gonna smile, life smells like roses, and I'm going to soar like an eagle.  The sun is shining and the grass is green.

Then reality hits...kids are ready to get going with school and you are just pulling yourself together.  I don't have the luxury of relying on coffee like most.  Some days I have all I can do to stand the smell.  Though it's strange because the mocha shake I have I love and I think it has a small hint of coffee.  I am very strange and peculiar.  I'm ok with that though.  It's what makes me, me.  AND...I love it!  Then you have people who you care about that you get the pleasure of pouring into them.  Honestly it fuels me.  I love helping others.  That's what makes my job so amazing!  Getting to homeschool my kids, work in the cracks of my time, love on my kids, cook dinner, bike rides, boat rides, trips to the grocery store, visit with friends...Who gets paid to do that?  I do!  And again I LOVE it!!

I worked as a teller at a bank several years ago.  It was one of those jobs I really enjoyed and it was fun.  It was giving customer service and meeting others needs.  Sometimes you were the one smile that changed their entire day.  It was great.  During this job, we found out we were going to be parents for the first time and it was exciting, nerve wrecking and what do we have to do now to prepare.  Though time went on and I was about 7 month pregnant, the day was slow, and so I was offered to leave early.  I thought....I really need to see my parents.  Dad wasn't home yet but he would be soon.  I stayed just so I could get a hug from Daddy!  Next day my husband and I were going out of state for a short vacation.  While we were gone, I got a call that I'll never forget.  The day had come when that hug was the last.  Daddy was killed in a motorcycle accident.  My heart fell to the floor, physically my strength was gone, my husbands arms were the only thing holding me up.  My strength rested in the Lord, knowing that He was the only one that could pull me through.  It was a LONG trip home. "I had just seen him yesterday..." 

You are never guaranteed tomorrow let alone the next breath.  Are you happy where you are and what you are doing?  Do you see yourself doing this in 5 years?  What are your dreams and visions?  What do you want in life?

So many questions to think about.  One thing I can say, life is truly like a spinning staircase.  Each twist and turn makes us who we are. Which part of your staircase are you on?  Where will this lead you in the coming days, months, years...?

Don’t...

Don’t be held captive by your thoughts... #motivationalmonday This hit me like a brick.  For so long I let myself be a prisoner by my thoughts, how I felt when I looked in the mirror, insecurities, lack of self confidence and now I feel like a whole new person!  I’m thankful that Jesus helped me through some of my darkest storms. Even when I feel alone, I know He is right beside me. Not to mention the amazing family I’ve been gifted.  I’m truly blessed.   Life is important. 👉 YOU 👈 are important.   Hope you have an awesome day and Happy New Year!

How important is breakfast...

Eight Reasons to Start Your Day With a Protein-Dense Shake.....  Your mom always told you that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Of course, mom’s always right. But does the science back her recommendation up? From an array of studies, scientists have demonstrated the efficacy of breakfast for a variety of health benefits. The number of these benefits also increase if that early morning meal is higher in protein, particularly in the form of a protein-dense shake.

Improved Concentration and Memory From large observational trials, mainly targeted toward children, breakfast is shown to be strongly associated with improved concentration and memory (1) Scientists suggest that this is due to breakfast’s immediate impact on blood sugar to fuel young brains (2,3).
