I GET IT!

The greatness of feeling complete is a feeling that one cannot put into words exactly. I've been in a whirlwind...One that has taken me from below ground, to the skies where I am soaring at this very moment. Have you ever just stepped back and took a good look at your life? Not just a glance. But a SERIOUS contemplation of your weaknesses and strengths? Thoughts about where you are, and why you are there? I believe with all my heart that God places you in situations for a reason. Those very reasons have become so clear to me now. I've had to endure the worst to appreciate the wonderful blessings that presently claim.

I've taken solace in the fact that I have made some rotten choices in life. I used to regret the paths that I took. Now, however, I am glad that I made them. It has made me who I am today. Life for me right now is difficult, but I am happy, and most definitely COMPLETE. I praise God for everything he has brought upon my table. Life's lesson #1; Thank him everyday for all your blessings, even if you don't feel you have any. Lift your hands up to heaven and worship... He has brought things to you for a reason. Figure out WHY. Its like the pastor said in church last Sunday....Sometimes we have to go through the most horrendous things to "get it". Sometimes we have to go through it MORE than once. One day you will wake up and have an amazing epiphany. "THAT'S why...Ok....I GET IT".

It's insane to me when I look back over the past 17 years how drastically different I am. I don't think I am even the same person. At times I feel like I have been transformed. I guess that is what life is supposed to be. A series of ups, downs, and mistakes until you get it right. I know I am sailing smooth right now. Fully aware that at any moment there could be a storm that I may have to face. But oddly enough I feel as though I am equiped to weather any storm now. Take me back to 2005, there is no way I could. I'm in LOVE with my life. I have the most amazing husband who just adores the shit out of me. My children are grown and giving us beautiful grandchildren. Dan and I both are at the top of our careers, with financial freedom and retirement on the horizon. What a wonderful place! I had a moment of complete graditude today when I thought about how we used to be during the holidays. My heart is so full. May 2022 bring more laughter, good memories, and new exp

Life Keeps Going On - LIVE it

Update on my life. The kids are doing great. Man, we are so blessed to have such amazing adults. Jesse has moved to Missouri with Hannah to pursue a new career. Wade is busy being a father to my amazing grandchild. Gabby is back to school to be a nurse practitioner. Kaelan is still going to Spokane Community for a Criminal Justice degree. Emily is still at Whitworth College looking at getting into the psychological aspect of Criminal Justice. And Noah is finding his way still, but making it work in Spokane. All out of the house and living on their own without our help. Sometimes that is the greatest accomplishment in this day and age. I'm doing well with the Mortgage gig. I've never worked harder in my life, but I love it and the money is stupid. Dan and I are finding a new love of RVing. Every weekend we are either planning or going. I love spending time with him. After your children grow up you realize how extremely short life is. So we are just trying to liv

Next Chapter!

Well I did it! I passed my mortgage exam and am now waiting for an offer letter so I can resign from media finally. The feeling I have is a HUGE weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I no longer have to work for an industry that is treading water. That is exactly how I have been feeling the past year. Not like I am in a boat, rowing toward greatness. Literally in the water, exhausted from swimming, about to drown. Everyone that has half a brain has already or is getting out of the water. It's time. I am ready. Bring on the next chapter in the "Book of Michele"! New beginnings are scary, but Dan needs me back. My mental state has been horrible, and he needs ME back. Great things ahead!
