Day 6 -Super Heroes

I fully admit that I love superhero movies and action adventure flicks. I enjoy seeing the good guys blow things up to win or use their special powers to do away with evil. My earliest recollection of a superhero is WONDER WOMAN. I love her costume and the gold belt with matching lasso that makes people tell the truth. Now that I am a teacher I sure could use that truth teller!


The main thing about Wonder Woman that I admired was her strength. She was not afraid to kick butt! I secretly think that I would be the same way if someone were to pick on my kids or friends. And, I would gladly were that gold crown while doing it.
In my opinion, not being afraid to defend others (with or without special powers) could be done more in this world. I guess that is why the superhero type movies never get old from generation to generation.

Be Yourself

Be Yourself.  Love who are.  Find out what you are good at.  Do not compare yourself to others.  You are unique.  Growing up I heard all of the above phrases and more.  Funny thing is, I never actually took that advice to heart until much later.  I did try to be someone else (or at least imagined I was).  I did not always love myself the way I should have.  I even thought I was not that gifted at anything.  I compared my weaknesses to the strengths of others.  I didn't feel like one of a kind when I had braces and glasses. Now that I am raising kids myself, I just can't get over the fact that I felt that way at times.  I know for certain that I earned every ounce of confidence I now own.  I now realize that every single one of us needs to learn how to be ourselves without worrying about what others may think of us.  It is a hard lesson.  One I personally learned over years of failures and through prayer. I work with kids 180 days a year and I see first hand how hard it ca

Day 2- My Blog Name

When I was 8 I had my life generally planned out. A lot of it centering around my religion, some of it planned just for fun. As I grew older, I was amazed to discover that life does not always go as planned. I did not plan on falling in love at 16 - which turned out great in the end but what an emotional roller coaster! I did not plan on becoming a music teacher - pretty unbelievable thinking back now. And, I did not plan on giving birth to only two children - I am blessed to have those two for sure. There are a lot of small instances that did not go my way as well but I have learned to embrace what comes. Even the big devastating days when I feel like all is against me. I have to confess that faith and prayer have gotten me through every rotten moment. I can say with strong conviction that my belief in Jesus Christ has given me hope every day of my life. On the flip side, good things can happen unexpectedly as well. I did not know that being a mother would make me a better per

Day One: 15 Things About Me There are just a few obvious things about me: I'm brown, I'm short, and I have a big smile! I love to run. I was hooked by age 11 and still find time for it today. There is something spiritual about a runner's high and if I could bottle it up and give to all of my friends I would. Unfortunately, you have to actually RUN to experience it. I am grateful to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I have learned that being faithful brings great blessings into your life. I have ugly feet, great hair, and I enjoy having a body that is healthy and capable of working hard. I am a good music teacher. I have taught for 13 years so I feel I have a right to toot my own horn now. I was born to teach and that is all thanks to God. If you want to make me mad you can do one of the following things: Bounce a ball in the house non-stop, don't come to dinner immediately when you are called, be late, lie to me, leave the milk out
