So, what has changed?
As I look back in my *memories* tab on FB I
see that the answer is so much and not much
at all.
Let me explain:
People rarely change.
Situations, trends, ideas and status quo does.
I should not be surprised now when
actions in others is the same as it has always been.
I should also BE surprised that this Taurus-
notoriously stubborn HAS changed.
In huge ways.
My core beliefs have been solid since I was
a young adult yet I have allowed myself
seasons of learning, of failing and of forgiving
myself. As I continue to grow I will always be
mindful that others (can) as well.
But many do not.
I can not control that, nor do I wish to.
Now when I experience a change in the flow nature
of relationships I employ the * Go with God*
theory: as in go with the only one who
will stand by you as you manage (or not) your own selves.
Most people have their limits.
My faith is secure in knowing that I am not alone
in times when I am moving in a healthier
direction away from the known.
I have never been a go with the crowd human being.
The trick to keeping a healthy focus is to
never take anything too personal .
People only reflect where they are.
So that in & of itself should be telling of anyone
who judges you or what you do.
My focus for the past 1 1/2 years has mostly been
on my own life and what I can honestly control.
Not yesterday, nor tomorrow....
just today.
It has been a breath of fresh air.
Today I will be planting some seeds in the raised beds
as well as getting the nursery area prepped for
new babies coming very soon.
No longer will I rush through meaningful moments like these.
This is what life is all about.
For me, caring for loved ones, my animals and my home
with an attention to detail makes me finally feel
grounded and rooted.
My faith tells me to let go of the old ways.
No more living in tomorrow or yesterday's mistakes.
A huge part of this growth has to do with establishing
priorities that reflect my life now.
Call it slow living.
Call it purposeful.
Whatever it is, it is peaceful.
I am no longer trying so hard to be who I was.
I am enough here... just this way.

posted this recipe a while ago and just
reposted it again.
I will be making it this weekend.
Quite easy and something more to do with bananas
than just making bread out of them.
I use GF cookie similar to Nilla wafers.
It is homey and rustic.
Perfect for a week night treat or company.
Have a blessed day my friends.
How can I pray for you?
Drop me a message or email me.
