Fifty Two Weeks of Joy

This blessing took place the week of June 8 th – 14 th   This week was all about blessings. I'm so thankful God gave me so many opportunities to bless others. I was able to take care of a few things to help relieve some stress in Oscar's life. I was able to get a few Father's Day gifts for some very important dads, a birthday gift for a lovely lady, and a wedding gift for a friend. I took the time to bless a friend with some fresh flowers.

She didn't have a way to get to the office to exchange coupons. I told her to not worry. I made the mistake I was going to make sure she had the right coupons before Monday.

This blessing took place the week of May 25 th – 31 st A friend of mine recently shared this quote on Facebook: "Your greatest contribution to this world may not be something you do but rather someONE you raise." – Craig Groschel How fitting for my life right now? Sometimes I beat myself up for not climbing up the ladder in the career world and feeling sorry for myself because I haven't achieved more success… Whatever that means… In the past couple of days I've come to realize my role as a mother will forever be my greatest achievement. Thankfully, the job I currently have allows me to provide excellent insurance for my family and allows me to spend time with my family.

This week's blessing was all about Eli. Eli loves dinosaurs- he ca...
