Tired of being fluffy...

 
No, this is not a post about the big diet I am going on to lose weight.  I am not referring to that fluff in my life.  However, it is kind of  a part of it.  I am a First World Glutton.  Of food, stuff, entertainment, and all other forms of excess.  I do not feel First World Privileged.  I feel First World Trapped.
 
 
I am making a public decree to lose the Fluff.  If this gal can give up soda pop after 40 years (only 5 in the last 32 days) she can also give up her addiction to the things/ways of the world.  No I am not saying all of the things in my life are bad, but they are in excess and they are choking the life out of me.  Literally.  My heart is heavy my friend. 
 
 
I can name about a 100 things I want right now materialistically, but the things that I am needing are rest, peace, contentment, passion, and purpose.  I cannot buy those things.  They come from weeding through the muck and prioritizing the important things. 
 
 
This is going to be a real struggle for this material girl.  That is a sad but true statement.  Sacrifice and denial are not part of my M.O., that means method of operation ( I looked it up).  I want the peace that comes from simplicity, the rest that comes from contentment, and the joy that comes from time to fulfill the innermost parts of my being. 
 
 
I am ready to breath deeply again......

Daybook....

Good Morning, I am linking up with  The Simple Woman's Blog  for the weekly Daybook For today... February 9, 2015 Outside my window .... Chilly (in the 30's for a high) but no snow.  Most of the snow has melted from the warm temps this weekend. I am thinking ... that I had a great, great weekend with my family. I am thankful. .. that my children view each other as important.  We had to plan Lucy's birthday celebration around Katie's work hours because she just started her new job and can't request time off.  Lucy would have never considered celebrating her birthday without her big sis present. I am wearing. .. my sparkly sweater again.  I must need the sparkles to handle a Monday morning. I am creating ... nothing at the moment, but do have some unfinished projects.  My mind has been exhausted lately and I am just chilling and puttering around. I am praying ... for a family decision that could make a huge difference in our live...

Friday's Fav Five

Today I am joining it with a new link up for me.  It is hosted by  Living to Tell the Story .   My Friday Fav Five list goes something like this... 1. My three older girls were still up watching television together when I went to bed last night.  My room is right next to the living room so I could hear their conversations.  Although I wasn't ease dropping, I did start to listen.  They were talking about casual and personal things.  I realized that they are all growing up and their conversations with each other are growing as well.  It was like listening to a group of 3 women talking over coffee.  My heart wanted to burst and I may have teared up or actually cried..... maybe. I am so thankful for this wonderful bond they will have with each other for the rest of their lives. 2.  I am just thankful it is Friday.... we have had snow and strep throat at our house this week.  I am ready to shut the books on this we...

Welcome back again.....

  Well it's been a minute....lol I feel like my my yearly post is to say I am going to start blogging again, and then never do.   I hope this is the year that consistency is in my wheel house so to speak.  I have again changed career paths.  Not completely though.  I am now the School Librarian in one of local schools. I LOVE IT!  I am looking at utilizing all my degrees in some form or another this year: Teacher cert in Family and Consumer Sciences, Reading Teacher, Library Information Specialist, Psychology, and maybe even Cosmetology.  In know, I know.... it may sound like how? but really, I use all of them every single day,  and I have some ideas on how to use them to benefit more people than those in my inner circle.  I will share more as it develops.  So in my world nothing says back again like a currently post, so here goes: Currently reading: The Unfortunate Side Effects of Heartbreak and Magic by Breanne Randall All the hyp...
