I Just Can't Take It Anymore! Giveaway!

Anthony DeStefano contacted me in regards to a new book of his titled, "I Just Can't Take It Anymore! Encouragement when life gets you down" and I tell you the timing of such a book, is truly God at work. Lets face it, we all find ourselves, at times, wondering Why me? And if we allow ourselves so much time and effort in the self-pity, we can quickly descend toward more serious issues of depression, isolation and sadness.

This little 'pick me up' book demonstrates via photos and small captions, some of our life's frustrations as well as joys in the effort to teach a little something along the way.

This book highlights the questions we often have for God in our toughest moments and thinks through the reasons of why we suffer, and how God just might have a plan for us, in these exact times. It brings a little levity when we are consumed by the negatives. It brings a little truth to pull us out of our self doubt or pain, and allows us to laugh, and find not only humor, but a strategic way out of our funk.

For a busy Mom, I'll tell you, that this easy read, including a hilarious photo gallery, allows us joy, when life gets the better of us. It give us permission to not take life so seriously and remember the gifts and blessings that God has truly given us.

Domo Arigato Gozaimasu Nihon - Thank You Japan

First, I apologize. It's almost been a week since my last post, and life certainly has a way to take me over. Arigato Gozaimasu - Thank You We have many commitments, many places where we have promised our time and energy, and when sickness sets in for me or anyone in our home, life pretty much stops....for little while anyway. Thankfully, the illnesses are down to minor colds, and as of yesterday, I am off the meds to treat a sinus infection. But that's not all. It's re-enrollment time at school, and every March we face the same uncertain future in debate...Can we swing yet another year's worth of financial commitment to our Catholic school, for four children. It's a stressful time, it's uncertain, and I have to say, that security is something I thrive on. Any insecurity, and I tell you, life just isn't right. With the children unaware of our finessing the budget, we work to keep that calm and peace that assures the children all will be well.

Words Can Hurt

When we first started having children, like most people, we realized quickly how they often work as a mirror to our own actions. Letting a swear word slip here or there was not uncommon in our home, yet, when our first child was about 18 months or so, and hearing my swear word echo in the house for several days from her little lips, well, it was enough to curb my speech, dramatically. And now, swear words are never spoken in front of the children, and we have adopted a few more words that are unacceptable in the house, even though common place in the world. Just another example at how, as parents, we truly are the domestic church. The world may be on the path of negativity, but the home is where we make the difference. My four year old the other day, said, "I hate tomatoes!" Not the worst thing to hear from her mouth, granted, however, the word 'hate' bothers me a lot. 'Hate' is a very strong word, opposite of 'Love'. Think of how strong that word,

Little Guys and Big Things

Sometimes, Veggie Tales stick with you. Even when an 8 year old seems too old for Veggie Tale stories, and reluctantly watches a few, the messages do stick. Over the weekend, my Knight was to serve Mass. For the past few Sundays he has been serving, and we keep reminding him of the various ways to show reverence while doing his duties.....a bow to the tabernacle, folding of the hands and so forth. Sunday, I happened to be watching Knight lather his gel in his hair to ready for Mass, and I once again, reminded him to keep his reverent ways about him while serving. He made a distinct face at me, and said, "Ugh, Mom, those other server boys are bigger than me. I don't want to do something they aren't doing." "I understand, but you could set the example, because you know, what you are doing is the right thing." He shook his head, looked at himself in the mirror, and seeing his own image reflected, said again, "I'm the youngest one there, Mom
