{#sol15} today 19/31


The March Slice of Life Story Challenge
hosted at the Two Writing Teachers
Join us for a month of writing!
today: i need to breathe

today: another busy-overwhelming-never-enough-time-except-to-create-piles kind of day
want to be: in quiet {by myself} reading, writing, or napping
blessings: health, happiness and my God who gives me grace
thinking: about my to-do list that multiplies with every completion
planning:  for relaxation {and catch up} over spring break in just two days 
writing: snippets of life for nineteen days and counting
loving:  my baby girls more and more each day that are growing up before my eyes 
grateful: for friends in my church small group and prayer

and today {again}: i need to remind myself to breathe.  just breathe.

    You always find a way to write, even when tired. I am glad you remembered to breathe. I believe you are so ready for the spring break. I hope that your Thursday and Friday go quickly.

    Sometimes is good to just stop and reflect on the NOW. Thanks for sharing and reminding me of that.

    I am reminded of the worship song...

    This is the air I breathe
    This is the air I breathe
    Your holy presence living in me

    This is my daily bread
    This is my daily bread
    Your very word spoken to me

{#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-in-the-blank with any other
