So much to be grateful for!

WOW...I haven't blogged in a while. I usually start most of my posts this way, don't I ?!

Well, I wanted to post today mainly because something really inspiring happened to me yest, but first, let me back up and give you some background on the situation.

I work for Truehope Nutritional Support. I work with people on the phones every day, encouraging them, and helping individuals with the struggles they may be having. We work with an amazing product called EMPowerplus. This product is a natural product, that pretty much takes the place of antidepressants, psychotropic meds. I work with people helping them to come off of those medications, and cross taper to the EMPowerplus. As a lot of you may already know, this can be a very challenging journey, especially when one is faced with depression, anxiety, bi-polar, etc. So, I work with individuals encouraging them to continue on the journey, and reminding them how just AWESOME they are, because THEY ARE! These people have so much courage and strength.

Well, back to what happened yesterday. We had a participant that we work with call in on the Emergency Line(my mother also works for the same company, and speaks to people after hours that may need some help). This women had an issue with her supplements, and ran out. I've been working with her for months. She doesn't live too far away from us, so I suggested she come and get some EMPowerplus from my mother.

Well, she did. I had the opportunity to meet her, and it was just amazing. I think for me, because I talk to people all day on the phones, but never face to face contact, it's not as real to me. Then, after meeting this amazing woman, it really hit home. She looked at me and said "You saved my life". WOW, I feel so inadequate and totally undeserving of that statement. It has made things so much more real to me now, that even when I am tired, and have no hope left to give anyone, I MUST reach down and pull it out and give it. I need to inspire, and make someone smile.

When I go to work tomorrow, I am going to be looking at things from a totally different perspective.

I thought this post was totall appropriate for this "thanks-giving season". I am SO THANKFUL for the opportunity and the blessing that I HAVE to share/give hope to others.
I am SO THANKFUL for the courage, strength and example that these amazing people give to me.

There is no greater thing on earth(in my opinion)than that of serving our brothers and sisters.

I know that this is where my Heavenly Father wants me to be, and I am THANKFUL for the blessing that I have to help so many people on a daily basis.

I'm bad...and that's good????

  Ok....so if you have not had the opportunity to watch Wreck it Ralph...you need to!!!!  It is now one of our favorite movies.  It has so much cute humor in it, plus a nice feel good story line.   They have a "bad guys" group where they have meetings weekly to discuss their frustrations on being the bad guys.  They all say a chant(if that's what you call it??) which is: "I'm Bad, and that's good, I will never be good and that's not bad, there's no one I'd rather be...than me". I love that.  It says/means a lot in my opinion.   Ralph is not bad...he's just the "bad guy" in his video game.  He's got a good heart and a good soul.   So... you are probably wondering why I'm posting about this right?   I have really been trying hard lately to not just assume someone is what I think they are just by looking at them...you know the whole don't judge a book by it's cover kind of thing.  It's working...

Magrath Days...

Well, as usual I've waited a long time to post something. Nothing really new or exciting has gone on, so I use that as an excuse I suppose. OF COURSE it's not a good excuse, but I use it as one none the less. Yest., was Magrath Days, and it was super fun! The parade was great. We sat with my parents and the Towells. After that, we had a nice lunch at my parents house, where everyone in the fam. was their. I was able to participate in something really fun in the afternoon. Back in November, 2008 our young womens class did a time capsule where we wrote letters to ourselves. Our teach at that time, also made a video of us during one of our activities. I must say, I was SUCH A DORK! But if that's the worst thing I can say, then I'm doing pretty good right?! Anyway, it was fun to read the words that I hoped for myself. Unfortunately, I didn't say much. But there were a few things that I did say, like : always treat others kindly, always love my family and sta...

Six Months...

By -
I sure wish that I was better at this...but here I am 6 months later...oops! Well it was a super busy summer.  We put off doing any renos in our house and did outside renos.  Our project this year was taking down our old fence, and putting up a new one.  We unfortunately didn't get everything else done that we needed to. I'm sure we could have gotten the other projects done if money (which seems to ALWAYS be the problem right??!)   hadn't have been in our way! But oh well..I'm thankful that we got as far as we did.  This past week the weather started to get super cold, so I think that we're outta luck for finishing up anything else for outside this year. I am really excited.....because this is my favorite time of the year.  Richard and I make our Halloween Costumes every year(at least this is the 4th year) and it's been so much fun. This year we're dressing up as Mario and Princess Peach.  It's going to be great.   So we've got that...
