My children – up until this year – have been enrolled in the normal public school system. James is a senior (leaving to serve our great country as a Marine in June 2009), and the other is Stephen a junior in high school. That’s 11th and 12th grade students in a public NORMAL California high school. That is the number one issue – public school. Continue reading… High School Is a Bit Different Now
We raise our children in the hopes that no pain will befall them. I personally cringe when one of my children stubs even a small toe. To see our children in pain feels like an unjust thrust upon us from the Universe. We Continue reading… My Child Is In Pain I’m 40, and I don’t feel old. Old would be 90 perhaps. Not 40. I smoke, have for a long time. Disgusting, I know. But I smoke. On Friday, a first happened for me. I was called “The Mean Ugly Old White Lady” by 3 children and their father. Here’s how that Continue reading… Mean Ugly Old White Lady – I Am
With all of my in-depth life pondering, I’ve been reading a lot about our “Ego” mind. I won’t go into details – but for me, the “Ego” mind is that voice in my head that tells me: You shouldn’t be a victim you are strong You shouldn’t let others “walk” over Continue reading… The Ego in Children On the back of my September 2008 Yoga Journal Magazine, there are tons of different reflections. One such reflection caught my attention and as I giggled a bit I thought I’d share through a bit of digital art. Children Are Chalky Dance Happily updated by: monicaford. During the San Rafeal Art Street Painting Festival – there were children coloring on the street with chalk. When then were done, some were quite messy. But still beautiful. This little ballerina didn’t mind the chalk on her little hands and feet at all and decided it Continue reading… Ballerina and her Chalky Dance

This union may also be called matrimony, while the ceremony that marks its beginning is called a wedding and the status created is sometimes called wedlock.” According to Monica, marriage is: “An agreement by two people (no, Continue reading… Post About Marriage I’ve had many “dreams” or “pulls” in my life ~ always towards a life purpose. I have children, one purpose in my life was obviously to be a momma to 3 and a step mom to one. Another purpose was to take Daniel as my husband, there was plenty of Universal Guidance at play Continue reading… My Life Purpose and Upcoming Excitement! I have four children. At times, each has had hard times. Each time those times come, I’m a momma and I assist in whatever way I can. I do this with love.
I have a child right now that is struggling at an important transitional part Continue reading… Children Our deepest fearis not that we are inadequate.Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, "Who am I to be brilliant,gorgeous, talented, fabulous?" Actually, who are you not to be?You Continue reading… A Return to Love Forgiveness means a great deal to me. Something I’ve come to terms with in the last year (yes, it’s taken me that long in my life). In my life I’ve had many dealings with people that seemed to be mean to me for no reason. Then, as I grew older from an Continue reading… Forgiveness and a Bit of Sharing Today is a reflection day. I found I was holding in so many feelings lately, that I about exploded. With my father-in-law passing away, I thought I could be strong and that because I knew he was in a beautiful spiritual place now, I would feel okay. But, it seems I’m like everyone Continue reading… Thoughts In Photos Hi there! My dearest husband took off for a day to Utah for a reunion of our training group. It’s funny, ’cause I’m so happy for him to get out and get away for a bit of time to himself. He’s had such a rough time as of late… what with things here Continue reading… Random Thoughts Me and My Stephen Happily updated by: monicaford. There are so many reasons I’m thankful. I thought I’d mention each of my babies. Today is Stephen’s Day. At the time, he was maybe 6 or so? It was taken in 1997 I believe. He’s now 15 and 6’1". He works at Continue reading… Stephen 20070608_0530 Happily updated by: monicaford. This was taken before my friend’s wedding. The boy is my step son Daniel and the little girl is his sister. Something about this photo makes me feel not only like a child, but so peaceful. Water reminds me of life. Children remind me of life. Continue reading… Photo of Life
This weekend I did something I’ve never done before and it was huge for me. It has me constantly thinking and re-evaluating my beliefs and responses. I deserve to share here with the thought that if I do I won’t forget. I served at a homeless shelter. Now I’ve heard of Continue reading… To Serve and Why Are They Invisible? The kids are home finally. At least I think these are my kids. Just kidding on that one, except – there is a bit of a change in them. I mentioned earlier in my posts that my kids went to Utah. They went there not for the Church of Latter Day Saints, but for Continue reading… Teen Quest – Impact Trainings |
