First, thank you all for playing along with me & Scrapbook Royalty yesterday (don't forget to go back today...there are MORE prizes each day!). I did not realize that they "moderated" the comments...but the word was there were LOTS of them...I just went over and peeked to see who won and congrats to "Christyfamily" who answered the question correctly...Yes...I won "Queen of Sweets" for the good ol' chocolate chip cookie recipe..you know the one...3rd Issue..MY favorite cover...ah..takes me back to the good ol days of...last year.
I have gotten past the fact that Homegrown..Home & Hea...Holiday Home...did not "make it" on the newsstand and that it was just not "in the grand plan" and I have happy & exciting memories of the whirlwind adventure I had with Lisa & the CK people, yes, wish that things had gone differently and maybe am still a little bitter....I said "maybe"...but the fact is...Change happens..and with that, I am drawing a "line" and moving forward. NO more "I wish.".No more bitter...because really, Bitter does not make anything Better...the only way to make a difference..or better yet, make a change...begins with me..and begins now...{p.s..the same goes for YOU!}
No reason to wait until January 1 to make the ever popular "resolution" because, um....I am pretty sure we can ALL say.."been there..done that" and it seems that it does not work so well.
Today is the day of moving upward & onward..and more importantly..FORWARD.
I have said it before, and will continue to say..."Don't know where I am goin..but am POSITIVE {with my faith beside me, inside me and around me} that I am headed in the right direction!" and that my friends (I sound like McCain) is a very good thing!
and speaking of Good Things...I have two good things for you....the first one has everything to do with today's title...
Reflections....but not the "action"...the Event...and after a lengthy conversation with the organizer's,Susan & Karen...I am here to confirm that Reflectionsis going to be Fabulous.....and what you don't see on the site...is that I am going be there with a little "somethin-somethin"...{okay, and maybe cookies, too!}...I hope it was okay to tell you that!!!...
and the second thing for you is a doodle that has everything to do with today's post. I got the inspiration from an article I read in my Joyce Meyer magazine/book....and I left it black & white..so that you can color it yourself~ (I am going to color mine in and I will post it when I am done~!)
enjoy!
