Every evening, we take our Harley-dog for a family walk. The girls are never too excited about just walking the neighborhood. Thankfully, they are creative and fun, and figure out a way to manage the boring walk.

Some days they decide to hop on their scooters.
Some days they create a game along the way full of hops, steps, and jumps -- worth points.
Some days they ride their new bikes.
Some days they guess and then count the number of steps until the next shade tree.
Some days they roller blade.

But, tonight, they grabbed a bag of chalk. All along the sidewalks through the neighborhood they left delightful messages of joy ...

Messages of joy: Love, Be amazing, Enjoy the sunshine, Be Awesome, Smile, Never give up,
Learn new things, Follow your dreams, and for the dogs: Wag your tail! And lots of smiley faces too!

    This is a wonderful memory to capture! I love the creativity of your daughters and that they chose to spread positive thoughts around. They will probably look back later in life and realize how much they actually loved those “boring” family walks with the dog.

    What joy they must bring to your neighbors when they encounter these messages! They sure know how to liven up a boring walk!

    Such a lovely idea. How wonderful for others to walk and find the messages.

    Not only did it make the walk more enjoyable for the girls, but I'm sure they made others smile along the way. Did Harley want to help? Love ya, Mom

{#sol15} deeper than beauty 8/31

The March Slice of Life Story Challenge hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers Join us for a month of writing! I have twin four and a half -- almost five! -- year old daughters.  I try to be consciously aware of what I say and do in regards to my body image and self-esteem and also with their body image and self-esteem. First of all, because I don't want them to believe everything that society says is true.  Even if they don't fully understand it today.  In addition, because they are fraternal twin sisters, I want them to understand they are individuals with unique and different bodies that God created for each of them.   However, society -- including my loving family and friends -- tell a different story and harmlessly create a comparison war.   My girls constantly hear how beautiful, adorable, cute, fill-i...

sols: a gift of words

Slice of Life  hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers . Join in and share a slice of your life. One of the best gifts I give myself is time to write Monday evenings for the Tuesday Slice of Life.  That writing time allows me the opportunity to think about the little moments in my life.  Sometimes those moments are big and important.  Other times it's a funny moment that made me laugh.  Or a celebration, a word, a poem about the ordinary life.  I'm still amazed that I have been writing each week for over three years! Yet, there is another gift . . . My mom and dad have published my writing.  Just this past Christmas, I received volume five of my blog writing.  Yes, I have five books f...
