A warm January

It seems a little strange that the weather is so nice when we are use to -20 to -40 degrees Celsius near this time of year.  Solar flares you either love them or rather dislike them if you happen to be a farmer.  Here are hopes that this weather evens out and they get the needed moisture for their crops this summer.

We've been getting really busy around here lately.  A lot of writing and a lot of prep for the store.  Kiddo is on the mend.  He has a far ways to go and everything believes he is doing it in good time!  Good news is always the best news.

So lets get down to what we have been up to:

Happy New Year!

Wow!  What a New Year's Day it has been.  How have you welcomed in the new year?  What are the big plans for 2012?  I hope for all everyone has a better year than last and for some of you that may be hard to top!  We are cheering for you anyways!

It has been a busy day:

1. New Year 2012 
I have found this last year mixed with thrills and so much that was not nice that it consumed much of what I did do and did not do.   So really I have a confession to make.  You see I love planning and doing near anything and everything.  Contingency planning and being on top of what someone may consider a disaster.  I missed ONE thing.  Just one and plans went out the window!  I have had a Special Needs Household for eighteen of twenty, well on the Wednesday, years.
My confession: Read More

2.  2011, Crazy Year...Best Present Ever
I had a couple of pieces written up for restarting my business and life all over again after this last year, yet none of them seemed to fit.
A lot has gone wrong in this last year if I chose to look at that way.  I would rather look at it as I’ve been through so much I miss counted a contingency plan and learned so much from the experience.   I’ve learned about the ‘truth’ of my path and the message.>>>>>>>> Wednesday December 7th, just after 8am in the morning I received one the most horrific phone calls a mother could contend with.  There was a stranger on the other end of the line asking if my son’s name was Alex.
“Maam your son is going to be ok.  He was hit by a vehicle.  He’s conscious, that’s how I have your number.  Help is on the way.”  Read More

3.  Life Planning,..Goal Setting. New Year
Welcome to the New Year!
We usually always start with a resolution or something in mind to change for the new year.  Well I don’t do that and I know of many other that don’t as well.  Of course I have my quirky little sayings that would give the impression of a resolution or goal yet I do not treat them as such.  I make them apart of my yearly life plan.  It is a bit different.  Read More

4.  This Year's Challenge 2012
Ok I am putting this out there!  These are the things I am going to attempt to do each and every day this year!  I can do this!  Do you have any challenges that you will be doing everyday?  The trick is to live each day purposefully and focused on any given item to stay on track.  With adjusting to this you develop and change to the point you no longer need a goal list, resolutions, or really to-do-lists!  Now, that's what I hear.  So I will be getting up each and every day with these three things in mind:  Read More

So what have you done so far for the New Year?
