Should there be more?

I am just sitting here today, while Cadence naps - and i got to thinking. You see all these people who are doing extraordinary things with their lives, and i began to ask myself. Should there be more?

My general day is pretty much the same. Get up with cc, feed her - play til she naps. Then i pick up the house while she's asleep. rinse repeat until Marcus gets home. Then I cook dinner while he plays with cc and we watch certain tv shows. CC goes down at 8. Thats when we move upstairs and generally watch tv until we fall asleep. boring much?

I want to do something extraordinary with my life. I want to be remembered for something good. So, what should i do? Work at food shelters? Volunteer for different things? Lets face it - we have one car, and its gone from 7 - 430 every day. not to mention, I have to watch my daughter during that time.

So, how do i do it? how do i reach out and help the community in some way? Totally selfless. I have no problem with helping other people to the farthest that i can reach and afford - i just dont know what to do!

I do know that I want to do SOMETHING. Even if I can do it from home. I've even considering starting my own non-profit to help somehow. I want to do something to help this Earth - to help this World - but i'll start off with just this community for now.

Wish me luck and any ideas are welcome!!!

Turning over a new leaf

So, one thing I have come to realize lately is that you can't decide the people who walk into your life. You can't control at ALL...but what you can control - is who you let stay. Who you left effect you, who you let change you - for the better or the worst.

Today i am letting go of people who don't need to stay. Who should have NEVER been as big of a part as they were.

There are few things that I TRULY can't stand. One of which is cheaters. Any situation of cheating is wrong - but whats worse is when you do it while your husband is fighting for our freedom. That was the FINAL straw for me.

I have recently been blessed with such amazing friends here. Drama free. All of our previous great amazing friends have moved on, away from Kirtland. We miss them sooo much! but we are blessed here.

The last thing I will tolerate is a personal attack on my character. Especially when that attack is on my christianity! How dare someone assume that they can even understand it when they dont believe in God? I will continue to pray for that family though. At the very least, for the kids involved.

So, as a closer on such a strange blog - NEVER let someone stay in your life who is toxic! It will either bring you down, or you will eventually have to walk away - or both.
