John 15:12-13 msg

Love one another the way I loved you. This is the very best way to Love. Put you life on the line for your friends. John 15:12-13 msg

My Little brother Greg (Gg) has the best love and friendship that anyone could give him. His Partner in life is an outstanding loving guy. He is taking care of a wounded soul and a heavy heart, he is making the hardest decissions a person could make. I am grateful beyond words to express the love and kindness he has shown my brother, me and my family. We don't deserve such a heart in our lives.

My Brother is dying he is at the end of his life. I am glad I got to know him a bit over the last few years. ( he had been estranged from my family for 12 years) prior to my seeking him out at the end of 2003. I know now he wasn't well when I saw him in San Fran, or any othertime I have seen him since, 2 times at Naropa in Boulder, a couple more on his way here or there through Denver.

I am struggling with all the in's outs and information coming my way. So I haven't been writing alot here - will give more details in another post.

drive with me, my everyday route

I leave for work about 7:40 -to 7:45 and I travel the same route most days though sometimes if it is very busy by the highway or if the weather is bad then I go a different route - I have about 3 alternates and this cracks my husband up, he always goes the same way where ever we are going and wouldn't think of finding alternate routes.I took myself in the rear view mirror, because everyday I look at my jaccuzzi tub in it's box in the garage and wish for it to be done. some times I look headon at it and other times I look at it in the mirror- this is going in our master bath that has been under construction for many years now. I don't know how to get it finished?? yikes!!!This washington mutual is on my way to and from work when they were building it I would tell Steven it was going to be a starbucks, much to my disapointment it is NOT! but we do our business banking at this bank and sometimes it is nice to be able to drop it off and make deposits on my way home, my boss will even let me leave early to do it and the bankers are all " kids" in this branch- they are always nice to me at 5:00 pm even if I am their last customer.
I can make it to work on time you see my dash clock says I made it. will add another post as blogger bit the big one a little bit ago while I was really getting lots of photos up.

yesterday- in my life

so here I am - the real me not the little icon on the right with the cup, though one of the places I was yesterday was starbucks as evidenced by the 1st pictures

I


My favorite place to shop right now or just walk around and get ideas - super target- they opened a brand new one about 2 miles from where I work and I go ther about once a week now, the Qdoba is in the parking lot of this great big store. - more on that in a bit.

don't know if I can deal with the way I look when I take my own photo-self protrait! but here I am putting my self out there for you all. I couldn't decide it the camera really was going to take my photo in 10 seconds on the self timer mode.


this shot is better more relaxed but I tried to get the camera and my head to look right, more practice later. LOL


we have a great fast food kind of place that is my favorite mex food for lunch qdoba is the name of it, I will find a link too. ( linked )



Here is my work starbucks. If we want some for the office we come to this one, at lunch time though I have one in a near by safeway grocery store and then I can get one for free every 7th one I order! got to love free starbucks.

I took more photos on the way in today and will see about getting more durring the day today. this has actually been kind of interesting and fun.

All locations are around Arvada

The author of the zine, and site was sharing a way to make a little difference in the world, so I though yes this appeals to me, and I joined her group, who's goal is to create 1000 or more little journals, gather them together, and then sell them for a worthy cause.

I have been busy writing and typsetting my church's bullitin- and haven't been keeping up with the news here on my blog, I will try to post more after I have slept.. off to bed with me now.

hh and hair!

she spent all her money from christmas on this little make your hair have streaks thingy from conair-- LOL she adores the highlights.

here are before and after shots

I love me some Stacy Julian

the big picture
I can't get enough of this book. it is about 20.00 bucks and so worth it. I loved her concepts before when she first came out with simple scrapbooks-25 meaningful memorey books you can make in a weekend. I used that book for inspriation to teach mini scrapbook classes at a LSS. I had a blast, making lots of little books. I gave away lots of little journals and minscrapbooks to many of my friends.

So this book is inspiring , because she revisits again the concepts she has maintained in all her endevers even the editing of " Simple Scrapbooks Magazine' And that is that you really don't have to scrap every picture, you can give yourself permission to scrap out of order, use a story and illustrate it with photos, or just be yourself in your own books. Great news and Freedom from a great author on my very favorite subject.

delinquent in posting

I am tired and busy and hardly have a moment for myself these days. I have the churches weekly that I am doing in my " spare time" and regular work- 40 or more hours a week.

I am working toward a new project or two, I bought " the big picture" by Stacy Jullian She is a great author and this book is very inspiring.
