I know, kind of lame, but what the heck :) At least ya looked. I went shopping last week. I took my oldest with me. Of course, she didn't want to come nor did she really want to even be bothered at 9 in the morniing. Off we went. You should have seen her eyes as the cart got bigger and more full. We finally made our way through the checkout where again, her eyes got bigger, seeing the balance.

I tell you, I went back to respond after comments were put on my page, and low and behold, the entire travesty of whining disappeared. You know guys, I think I have heard it many ways... if you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen, probably sums it up best.

Does anyone know what part they help out in energetically? I remeber reading in Doreen Virtue's Fairy book that the frogs and dragonflies help disperse negative energy, but was curious as to what the Praying Mantis does. Had one in my backyard last week and was kind of curious about it. thanks and love! Karen

I have been thinking about this alot today. Holding on to weight, habits, friends - family. Anything that we know in our hearts is not beneficial for us, yet we continue to do it. Why is that? Deep down, is there some part of me that is afraid of achieving all I am capable of? Do I not want to be abundant, healthy, mentally and physically?

I had an opportunity yesterday to teach my oldest daughter. As some of you know, she is 18. Typical teenager. At her core, she is sweet and loving. Towards me sometimes, she is a bit hateful. Angry with me 90% of the time and blames me for her lot in life.

I was in a contest, which included climbing and scaling a long "route" across a mountain/ravine. I was making my way across, scaling the rocks with my fingers and feet, along with 2 other contestants. It was so real - the feeling of the rock under my fingers, the smells, the grit.

Ok, so there is absolutely nothing healthy about this recipe, but it is definitely comfort food and I think it could definitely be a substitute for other things ;) Anyhow, I made it tonight and it was fabulous. Enjoy!

Not really sure where this is going, but not all that sure that it is going no-where. Having a hard time discerning between ego and actual beliefs tonight. Being manipulated and controlled.. reading way to much into things than I probably need to. So, what does it say when someone wants to be close to you but can't quite commit to a "relationship"? Or am I reading way to much into situations?

Hmmm... That is the question of the evening. Oftentimes, I say things to people that other people think, but don't have the nerve to say. Could be that it is too blunt, could be they don't want to deal with the confrontation that inevitably ensues.. I am not sure.
