Gratitude

"I Receive ALL of Life with Thanksgiving - I have gratitude for EVERYTHING that has ever occurred to bring me to this moment. I give thanks for the joys and the sufferings, the moments of peace and the flashes of anger, the compassion ...and the indifference, the roar of my courage and the cold sweat of my fear. I accept gratefully the entirety of my past and my present life."

Cast #2

Colby after getting cast #2 on. She was happy to have her elbow back! Although after 7 weeks in the big cast it took several weeks for her elbow to 'unlock'. It was a tough summer for this girl....3 more weeks with the pink cast....

going, going, gone

I'm way behind here, but this is Colby on July 28th getting cast #1 off in preparation for cast #2 to be put on. Still a significant crack in the break area and a 15 degree 'hump' in her arm at this point. So cast #2 will go on for about 3 more weeks. What a summer....

It doesn't have to be this way..........

What if this was your child working so hard to collect water that could likely kill him? What if this was happening in your neighborhood? What if you had no choice other than to give this to your baby? What would you do? This IS your neighborhood, your fellow brothers and sisters. It just happens to be across the ocean. What are you going to do?

Reminded again this morning how blessed we are and feeling an even greater responsibility to move and to act and most of all to love these precious people......

Scentsy - FYI

I know. I've been slackin' big time on the blog. Lots to share, just haven't taken the time. But, wanted to let my Scentsy fans know..............

Everything (except the bigger packages) in the Spring/Summer catalog is 10% off. Also, several scents and warmers are being discontinued prior to the Fall/Winter catalog being released. So if you see your favorite scent or a warmer that you've been wanting on the list be sure to get it now before it's gone!!! If you haven't yet caught the Scentsy fever, take advantage of the discount and try it! It really is the perfect, safer, cleaner, leadfree, wickless candle alternative.

If you see something you 'need' :) either comment, send me an email at our NEW email address: hgcarlson at machlink dot com. or if you aren't local you can order from my website and have it direct shipped to you!

More on the Carlson move and other happenings later.............
