got wake?

i received the nicest card today.  a co-worker thanked me (yes, me) for being patient and kind.  i consider myself a "bull-in-a-china-shop" most of the time, so to hear this made my day.  i need people like her to slow me down.  after all, life is a big balance beam.  we all need one other to keep steady.  thank goodness for the amazing people in my life that balance me out!  (oh, and if you have seen my new profile pic on facebook, she also gave me the precious pink, heart-eyed, full of fun koosh ball!  wow, does she know me?!)  smiling as i type this...

have you considered your "wake?" you know, like the waves that follow a boat.  it ripples out into this beautiful "pattern."  everything you do & don't do matters.  everything.  thank you my friend for reminding me of that today.  i am honored that my "wake" has made a difference in your life.  sigh.
i pulled this pic off of pinterest because i love the words.  "the fruit of the spirit...peace, joy, love, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, self control and gentleness."  it is mostly Galatians 5:22-23 as it says, but there are a few extra yummy words in there.  <3

we all need reassurance, but know that YOU matter.  everything you do and don't do affects those around you.  i am so grateful for the amazing people in my life.

heart hands and smiles

  1. I've noticed that the things in which we are most critical of about ourselves are the things that others see as valuable - they are our hidden blessings in life. After all, what's so bad about being a bull in a china closet anyway? China is just extremely over-rated, over-priced dinnerware that people use probably only a few times in their entire life & over time becomes something the grandchildren sell to make money for the newest i-pad ;)(plus it takes up space where more important things can go, such as & diamond tiaras)... You are blessed with a happy spirit & reckless abandon - the world could use more Amy Flethers! xoxo
