  • for spiritual disciplines
  • for manifestations of maturity in my faith (as I listen to my friends' trials, I begin to hurt for their pain and hear myself offer light into their darkness)
  • for surroundings that foster a grateful heart and continual communion with my God
  • for a husband who encourages me to attend my favorite body flow and body jam classes
  • for the time and energy to enjoy my classes at the gym on a regular basis

so so many things to be grateful for

  • for God's unfailing guidance as He continues to lead me to find something bright in my darker moments; as He continues to send much needed support through the love of angel friends.
  • for angelic conversations
  • for a touching and inspiring ecard from an angel friend
  • for wonderful quality family times (enjoying each other's company as we share in either home cooked meals or meals by the beach; as we drive to Port San Luis to buy crabs that dad cooked for cioppino; as we walk hand in hand through the Port; as Isabella and I watch Phil boogie board)
  • for a husband who is here for a week, lending a helping hand and strengthening family ties
  • for Phil's company at church (two Sundays in a row)
  • for Immanuel's safety as he ventures out into the world, as he lends a helping hand to the world around him
  • for Ian who says to me after I pick him up from school "as long as I have a loving home, I will be ok"
  • for Isabella who makes handmade presents for everyone in the family including grandpa in heaven

An ECard from another angel friend

A strong woman

is one who feels deeply and loves fiercely.
Her tears flow justas abundantly as her laughter.
She is not afraid to be afraid.

is both soft and powerful.
She takes compliments to heart and treats herself like the queen that she is.

is equally visionary and decisive.
She is able to hope when things look hopeless.
She is both practical and spiritual.

A strong woman
in her essenceis a gift to all the world.

Thinking of you because you're a woman who shows what it takes to be one.


Thank you tita Rose.
