God is merciful. God is faithful.
Those two statements pretty much sum up 2010 for me. The past year was definitely one of the most challenging of my life. However, through it all I have learned that God is faithful and will never leave me and that He is merciful as I have failed Him so many times. Yet, in His lovingkindness, he performed miracle after miracle.
I am also truly thankful for my "foxhole friends" who stood beside me praying. You are awesome!
"Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead." Phil 3:13 NASB
So, I leave 2010, along with its negativity, anger, and disillusionment, behind me.
My Purpose Statement for 2011!
2011: Creating A New Legacy. Living Intentionally - Spritually, Personally, & Professionally.
I am excited about this new year. While 2010 was difficult, it forced me to make some much needed changes in all areas of my life. Out of my "dark night of the soul"
I realize I am truly nothing without Christ and that all that I do and say should reflect Him. For me this means yielding total control to Him. Being the imperfect person that I am, this will be a second by second process!
I wish everyone a blessed 2011! May you be all that God has called you to be!

Going back to WordPress!
After months of not sure of what direction life was taking me, I am taking a huge leap of faith! I will be relaunch this blog back on WordPress. I like the free platform Blogger offers but in order to do provide the information I would like to share and promote WordPress is much better. I can't wait! :-)

Speaking The Truth In Love
I am blessed to have solid sister friends who love me enough to get in my face when I get off track. I know that may not seem fun or pleasant to some but for me they contribute to my all around growth.
Just yesterday, I was speaking to a dear friend about a particular struggle I was having. It had been going on for a while and I have been coming to terms on how I should handle it. Thankfully, my friend who has known me FOREVER spoke up and just nailed me. What was so awesome is that she was so calm and matter-of-fact. However, it hit me like a 2 X 4!! She loved me enough to tell me what I needed to hear - the truth.
Do you have such friends in your lives? Am I that kind of friend? I sure hope so!

It's me.. again....
Well it's time to get back on track. I can't believe it's been forever since I posted. My life basically went out of control and now I'm to the point where I can almost breathe again. Here is a run down of the past several months.
1. I had rotator cuff surgery for the second time at the of May. It was a freak accident. Recovery time - 6 weeks.
2. During recovery, I received a call from a previous employer asking if I would be interested in working again. We needed the money so I went back to work full time - with my arm in a sling.
3. Attempted to work full time with 4 children who are very involved with many activities and a husband who worked opposite hours. It does not make for a happy household.
4. Decided that it was in the best interest of my family to quit. The following week I was told by management that I was being let go. I know my supervisor thought I was crazy because I all said was "OK". I was so relieved!!!
So I have now transitioned back to being a Stay/Work At Home Mom. For me, it is the best for my family. I, once again, realize that I am NOT Superwoman. However, I am thankful for the experience as I can understand what women on both sides of the fence face everyday.

Top 10 Ways to Reach Your Goals Quickly
by Dr Philip E. Humbert
We all have dreams and goals. Some of them are simply wishes, like winning the lottery or sailing to Tahiti. But we also have goals that are vital to our futures and the well-being of our families. And yet many of us make little or no progress toward achieving our most important goals. We wait and hope, but get no closer to our dreams.
It doesn't have to be that way! We all know people who soar from one project to another, achieving their goals and living the life they want. How do they do it?
1. Clarity of purpose. For a dream to become a goal, it must be specific. While it's fun to dream about being rich, it takes courage and hard choices to decide exactly how much money you want and how you are going to earn it. Being "thin" is an image; losing 23 pounds by your birthday is a goal. In life, we probably can't have it all. You can lose 23 pounds, or you can have the cake and ice cream. Your choice. Be clear.
2. Commitment. There's a story from ancient Greece about a general who landed his troups on the beach, then burned his ships. He wanted each soldier to know there was no turning back, no retreat, no alternative to victory. Once your goal is clear, emotionally commit to achieving it. There are no alternatives.
3. Talk about it. This is called "accountability." Once you've defined your goal and committed yourself to achieve it, start talking about it! If you want to lose weight, don't blame your spouse for buying ice cream if he or she does't know and understand your goal! Talking about your goals makes them emotionally real and powerful. It allows people to help you reach your goal and support you along the way. Some people will also criticize or undermine you. Don't talk to them.
4. Write it down. This is basic, and one of the oldest, simplest and most powerful techniques for achieving any goal. Write it down! Describe precisely what you want, how you will earn it, when you will have it and the benefits you'll receive from achieving your goal. Write the details. Write the colors, the shapes and the dates.
5. Repeat it every day! Every morning, use a small card or a corner of your appointment book to record a short description of your goal where you will see it all day long. Don't carry the same card day after day! If your goal is worth anything, it's worth one minute of your time to write a simple sentence describing your dream and focusing on your priorities. Do this every morning.
6. Have a plan. Create a map for getting there. And put dates on it! A goal to retire at age 40 has no meaning without a savings and investment strategy. A goal to create your own business is just a fantasy without a plan to attract investors, find a location, hire staff and sell your goods or services. The beauty of a plan is that it shows you a path to your goal.
7. Take action every day! "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." Any goal that is worthy of you is worth a few minutes of your time and some of your energy every single day. To write a novel, write a chapter this week. To open your own business, read a business magazine today. To create a more loving family, give someone a hug today. To be salesperson of the year, make a phone call right now!
8. Use constant affirmations. One of my clients is a PGA golfer. From the moment his ball lands on the green until he sinks the putt, he repeats over and over "I will make this putt!" He repeats that phrase as many as 200 times before every putt! Do you think he would be more, or less, successful if he spent those moments thinking, "I just hope I don't miss it"? Tell yourself what you want to hear!
9. Review, and re-commit, often. Never be afraid to review your goals, evaluate whether you are still 100% committed to them, and re-commit to achieving them. If your values or your choices have changed, change your goals accordingly, and be honest about it! And if your goal still fits, run to it with all your heart!
10. Celebrate each milestone! Never wait to have a party! Each deposit in your savings account deserves a checkmark on the calendar and a hug from your partner. Each day without a cigarette deserves a smile and congratulations from your loved ones. Every step toward your goal should be documented and celebrated! When you get discouraged or have doubts, your record of past successes will quickly get you back on track. Not sure about this? Ask any marathon runner whether they count each mile on their run to the finish line! Celebrate each and every milepost on your path to victory!
