You haven't been to a hockey game until you have sat on the glass,
next to Curt Banglesdorf. Enough said.

Sorry, yes, I'm alive. Some stuff has come up and ,well, life happens.
Spent alot of today at the John Maxwell conference. That was cool.
Hung with some fab people. Tomorrow I'll be at the Home and Garden
show at the convention center. Then dinner and a hockey game with the
Banglesdorfs.

What are you doing today to pursue your dreams?

Today we went to Dulles airfield in Virginia to the other half of the
National Air and Space museum and saw the first Space Shuttle. Very
cool. (we visited the Smithsonians in D.C. last trip)

Last night was a blast. Went to some green turtle bar and had dinner
and drinks and met some really cool coworkers of Amy's. Listened to a
pretty decent band and sang alot. Stayed out till 2am. Felt young again.
Today we toured the countryside, and did some shopping. Now about to
watch a chickflick and eat mint chocolate chip icecream. :-)

We've had a fun eventful first day. Learned everything about Mr.
Hershey and his awesome world. You should read about him sometime, he
gave/gives all his profit to orphans/disadvantaged children for their
housing and education. Amazing city he has created.
Amy and I are going out tonight with some of Amy's friends to hear
some band. :-) How much trouble can you really get into in
Pennsylvania? We shall see...

"the place that God calls us is that place where the world's deep hunger and our deep desire meet" - Frederick Buechner

It's been almost a year since I left the country.. I've got that stirring, that restlessness to go..
Patience is not yet a virtue I possess. But I will trust the process and the leaders God has placed me under. Lord, YOUR will be done, not mine. But Send Me! I will go for you! Give me the nations for my inheritance. If not, then remove this desire from me, remove the fire for this that is burning within!

What a beautiful, warm, sunny day in the ATX!
Just me and the sunshine on my skin today. Sometimes it's good to be alone.

• "I'm very definitely a woman and I enjoy it."
• "I don't mind living in a man's world as long as I can be a woman in it."
• "I’m selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I’m out of control, and at times hard to handle. But if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best."

Just saw The Book of Eli. Great movie. Go see it.
So as I've been thinking, praying, dreaming about this organization I feel the need to begin, I keep thinking about water wells, in Africa. These people have to walk miles to get fresh water every day, if they can get it at all. Building a well in a community is a life changing thing for these people. Well today since I'm wanting to go to help out in Haiti, I checked facebook for any updates on people who may be going and I run into this post from my friend Dee Golden(zing water) who posts a link to his friends who are leaving for Africa to go build wells. I followed the link and what do you know, it's an organization that builds wells, led by two women! www.wellawareworld.org
I don't believe in coincidences. I immediately sent him a message to hook me up with them when they return. How cool would it be to gain some actual experience with a successful nonprofit doing exactly what I want to do?

So last night i had dinner with Rene; well, let me rephrase, I watched
Rene eat nasty sushi. I love that girl. And at this time next week my
kids and i will be driving from Baltimore to Pennsylvania in a rental
car. Then spending a long weekend with Amy and fam. On the way home
on the 26th we have a layover in Atlanta. (One airport I haven't been
to yet..)
But tonight will be spent having dinner with Heather and visiting our
cancer free Nancy in the hospital.

Sing, Daughter Zion; shout aloud, Israel! Be glad and rejoice with all
your heart, Daughter Jerusalem! The Lord has taken away your
punishment, he has turned back your enemy. The Lord, the King of
Israel, is with you; never again will you fear any harm. On that day
they will say to Jerusalem, " Do not fear, Zion; do not let your hands
hang limp. The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who
saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no
longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing."

'I don't know where I'm goin
but I sure know where I've been
hanging on the promises in songs of yesterday.
And I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time
but here I go again, here I go again.

Tho' I keep searching for an answer
I never seem to find what I'm looking for.
Oh Lord, I pray you give me strength to carry on
'cause I know what it means to walk along the lonely street of dreams.

Here I go again on my own
goin' down the only road I've ever known.
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone.
And I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time.'

I love Whitesnake!

I love music!

'just dance! Gonna be ok...'

'I cry to you, Lord; I say, "You are my refuge, my portion in the land
of the living. " Listen to my cry, for I am in desperate need; rescue
me from those who pursue me, for they are too strong for me. Set me
free from my prison, that I may praise your name. Then the righteous
will gather about me because of your goodness to me.'

like a flower pushing through the dirt, braving the cold, just to
catch a glimpse of the sun, so I press on

The Dance

'looking back, on the memory of, the dance we shared, beneath the stars above

for a moment, all the world was right, how could I have known, you'd ever say goodbye

And now, I'm glad I didn't know, the way it all would end, the way it all would go

Our lives are better left to chance, I could have missed the pain, but I'd of had to miss, the dance.'

Day 4 of unemployment - made flower pen bouquets. Why, you may ask? I
have no idea. I'm officially losing my mind.

Yes,I know this is like my 3rd post of the day, but isn't she beautiful? my newest addition. as i was planting, something occurred to me. I love getting my hands dirty and making something, but I was thinking the whole time, i hope i can remember to keep this one alive. The thing that came to me clear as day, was that I am a creator, not a maintainer. I am always eager and motivated to start a new project, but can never seem to finish or keep up with them. My dozen or so half finished projects, prove it. Maybe it's not ADD, maybe I'm just a different sort of person. I guess that would be fine if i had a partner who was a maintainer, but I don't. Hmm, guess revelations don't really change anything..
p.s. I have this vision to turn my living room into something resembling a set from Lost. Palm trees and tropicals everywhere, rock walls, fountains, even real birds...

This time last year, seems like a lifetime ago, and also, like
yesterday. I was in a completely different world. It all seems so
surreal now. Do you all mind if we just skip January and February this
year?? Come to think of it, March sucked, so let's skip it too. Maybe
I can just go into hibernation.
I think I'm depressed. Seriously.

I'm gonna go plant some trees in the house. They make me smile.

Saw the Watoto African Childrens Choir perform today. They brought
back 2 very distinct memories from my first trip to Africa. One was
the night we were at the wild game reserve and were watching a group
perform some tribal dances where they do alot of kicking. Well Wade
and I were sitting up front where there happened to be alot of loose
sand that proceeded to get kicked in our face repeatedly. It was..a
moment. The other was in some random field where some locals busted
out in dance ( very common there ) and I jumped in and had an amazing
crazy dance experience. You know the kind of dance you do when no one
is watching? I haven't done a crazy dance in almost a year. That's
when I'll know my joy is back. I miss Africa. Wish i was there. I miss
my friends.
I also kinda wish I was somewhere tropical, sipping a piña colada with
a pink umbrella in it.
I'm unemployed now and available to be taken to either of these
locations. (insert large cheesey grin)
Just sayin..
Oh, and ANONYMOUS, please reply to prior post and leave me some clue
as to your identity.
Thank you :-)
