Adoption

Is a gift of Love,

To the child to whom the parent or parents can not take care of him or her.. Maybe because they are to young? Or perhaps money is an issue, family dynamics, situations are different and sensitive all the same. One can not know, assume or appreciate the situation in which one needs to consider adoption as an option, until they have gotten there.


It is for some? Rescuing their child. An Unselfish act to think of the child first above their own feelings to make sure that the child has what he or she needs and has a safe  home and stability.
Scared? Or be scared to do it all alone? Be in an abusive situation no one knows ... What I do know? Is that it is a huge act of love, and can complete a family who has been aching for a child and can not have one.

And on the other hand the other side of the coin is that there are so many women who can not have children , and want so desperately the opportunity to have and raise a child. Who have so much to offer but yet have physical issues and can't. Or perhaps the husband can not?  Or maybe it is a same sex couple.. Everyone should have a chance and yet have so many problems in the process.


What ever the circumstances may be, there are so many  parents and children who need to be connected for it is destiny..
I am all for it, I was adopted.. And I placed for adoption.  I have had a beautiful life, ups and downs as any family but a great life. Parents that picked me loved me were and are good to me to the grand children. What else could I ask for?
Culture, family trips, music, sports, unconditional love humor, good healthy environment I had it all. Beautiful :)

Laughter

It is the souls natural medicine..

And I know when we are really feeling down , and crappy hurt, betrayed .. The last thing we want to do is laugh. But when we do laugh? There is just something about the way that it makes us feel. Right?  When we truly laugh, not a giggle or under our breaths, but belting out laughing.

There has actually been studies about laughing did you know that?
It has literally been proven to help relieve stress, help release healthy triggers for healing  the body it makes us smile, and feel good.

There is something I have always tried to do , since I was young.. Make someone smile , or laugh. I love the feeling I get seeing the whole demeanor of someone change after I have helped them smile or laugh :)  It is an amazing feeling.. Laughter binds people together, I have bonded with many helping them feel better..

I want to be the Laughter Dr. Lol! Is that possible? And I don't mean comedian. Too much pressure, coming up with new material, things that people connect with and think is funny ya know?

So try to laugh as often as possible, enjoy people around you. And if someone else needs a laugh? Help give that to them they might really need it. Til next time .....

What Will They Remember?

Is it your smell? Smile, Laugh? Or the way you console them when they are sick? Or sad? The way you hug? The goofy quirky things you do? How you get silly with them?
The favorite place that you go with them? A book? A song that you sing them at bed time?

A favorite song ? Concert, or Movie? Or maybe,... It's the family dinners together, you going to family night at school, getting them from school when they really needed them. A hand to hold, A Look , A nod..

A bike ride, Walk, Park, Vacation.. Whatever it is they will never forget they will eventually appreciate  and will always Love you.

It's there in their being human able to be their own person, get lost to find their way back again...

What will they remember?

Someday I'll Do it....

Have you said? I know I have, Of course you have.. Everyone does! After all that is what adolescence is all about dreaming wishing and hopes . It's what gets us through childhood, pubescence and adult hood I don't care who you are . I find it almost necessary ,if not? How do we aspire to be great? To become ? Anything? An artist , musician, doctor, mother , father construction foreman, Ceo, whatever?

I have a few favorite Someday I'll do its. One is (And some people call this a Bucket List ;) )
One is  driving across Country in an RV and stopping along the way to see whatever we want to see, National Parks, The Largest Frying Pan, The Biggest Rubber band Ball, Largest Cookie Whatever! And another is to jump out of a perfectly good Airplane! Yes you read correctly, I have to ! Why not?
Singing on stage is another... But I can't really sing LOL so that won't be happening anytime soon.

So my question is, What about you? What do you "Some day " Hope you will do? I can not wait to hear the responses Thanks for Listening!

Got A New Tatoo Today

I love tattoos, I do... I am a Mother and I do not dress promiscuously I am laid back and artistic and am a respectable person. A lot of people look down upon tattoos and piercings.. I think if that is the way that you want to express your self? Go for it, I also think that it depends on your profession too.

That being said when I got my first tattoo I was 20, And I made sure that it meant something to me. It symbolized freedom , and Individuality to me. I waited many years to get a second one, and that as well means something to me. It means forever Love for my children and the man in my life.

Then 5 more years, I got my third, and this is mine and my partner's Birth years together but in Roman Numerals... I Love It!!

Respectable, nothing tacky or big... I think that art is accepted much more in the society of Now, and people don't gasp anymore They are actually curious and try to take time to understand it, look at it and appreciate it. Which is always a good thing.

Art is art, whether it is on your body (canvas) or a cloth canvas. So many more people have tattoos than ever before, I know it's a trend, but it has been trending and exploded!! I will continue to appreciate  body art . Got a new tattoo today that I Love!

Over sized Sweaters, Shirts, Cute scarves... This is my weather, my favorite. Not hot, not cold .. A few warm days randomly thrown in yessss! Enjoy your boots and leggings and sweaters Ladies! For it is Fall :)

Adventures

They can be anything......

And when you have children, it's everything. Almost every outing can be made an adventure. And I think that is why we have so much fun when we're out together. It can be small little things that make the imagination wake, and have the kids wide eyed and excited.
If you live in a city, not the suburbs and you drive? Why not take the train? Or a bus? It's just turned into an adventure  as their brains are hungry for information, you are feeding them with knowledge to their questions..

Same with a park with trails, take a random walk get out there and turn your phones down and get the perfect walking stick and walk together. Pick wild flowers look down at some water look for fish, skip rocks talk about the trees. Give them the opportunity to love it as you do and appreciate nature.. It starts early and they will love it.

You're in a car? Play car games looking for color license plates, different states, Pepsi, Coke trucks. Life is an adventure after all go on ! Look, see ,smell, smile :)
