{peace}

(via)

I came across this quote and I find it so fitting. In life I try to be at a place of peace but sometimes situations and circumstances get in the way. I find it so necessary to get back in a place of PEACE. I usually whisper prayers to internally center myself. I also use cooking as a way to meditate and get away from it all. My mom always teases me and says, that she will come in my house and the boys will be running all over, Scott's watching TV and I am in a cool, dim kitchen chopping onions, pots boiling and I will be in my happy place.

One of the things I love so much about my husband is that he has a quiet peaceful personality. He is always able to talk me through some of the things that get me all stirred up and bring me back to a place of PEACE. I always jokingly refer to him as my own dose of NICOTINE. 

PEACE is so important to me whether at home or work and I am consistently seeking it. I know that life will happen around me, chaos and hardship...but I thrive to be at a place of internal PEACE.

How do you center yourself and get to a place of PEACE?

Positive Words



Have you ever heard the quote, "misery loves company?" Sometimes people's negative thinking and negative ways can be toxic.
Surround yourself with positive things! Stay positive and hopeful!

HAPPY Monday

Life...

(via)

No matter what you are going through, you are here. Take everyday as a blessing. Know that God has your back, your front, your sides-and will carry you through the good and the bad.

I thank him everyday for waking me up and allowing me to spend another day with my loves.

HAPPY Tuesday

BEHIND EVERY GREAT MAN is a great WOMAN







I love looking at these old family pictures of the great Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
I can't imagine what it must have been like to be the wife of such a brave hero!
She, herself must have been brave.

"I submit to you that if a man hasn't discovered something he will die for, he isn't fit to live."
Martin Luther King Jr., Speech in Detroit, June 23, 1963
US black civil rights leader & clergyman (1929 - 1968)

What are you doing to celebrate, honor and commemorate this weekend?

Simply Stated

(via)

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving break and are now looking forward to Christmas. I love this time of year because it's a time to reconnect with family and friends, reflect on the passing of one year, and a time to look to the future. Often times Christmas brings about a time of anxiety to get the right gift, prepare the right meal, invite the right people...I have decided to make it a time of simplicity!

A time to enjoy the little things life brings...

Much Love

He is always welcome...

(via)

Just thinking about what a full weekend we had and all the blessings we received in the form of surprise family from out of town, traveling mercies, clean bills of health, love, food, worship, fellowship...too much to name but I am so overwhelmed by his mercy and love. I am thankful for the valleys and the peaks.

He is always welcome in our house!

HAPPY MONDAY

make today beautiful...

(via)

You have the power to control how you feel and how you react to certain situations! Make today beautiful by just being positive, crack a smile when you don't feel like it and just love on someone you wouldn't have normally!

Change your perspective change your life!

HAPPY MONDAY!

Quote of the DAY: My Thoughts EXACTLY

Dr. Seuss was on to something!

I have always been known to be a little eccentric...I love and embrace all of my quirks!

You do the same!
You will be much happier!

Do you always!
