Quick updates: I am dilated 1-2 cm, thinning, contracting for four days now...especially through the night...but not going into labor yet. I can't believe my induction date is only two weeks away!
This week I actually went in and cleared out my desk. That was pretty tough. It was definitely bittersweet, but I have so enjoyed being home with Brooklyn. Austin and I have started counseling, which has been great! It ain't easy, but it really helps. Things are looking up around here!
I have recently bought some goodies that I just can't wait to share! I will get pictures posted tomorrow.
I was watching Oprah today. It was about the power of being positive, the laws of attraction, healing your own life, and claiming what you want for your life. It was really inspiring to see what some women had claimed for their lives that came to them, and the difference it made for those that made the choice to be more positive people. I absolutely have to start a dream board! I have been making more of an effort to pray specifically, and ask God directly for the things I want in my life. (things not always meaning "things") I used to ask, not really believing that I would receive. Anymore I ask, expecting God to bless me, believing that He can and will. I am just so excited to start a dream board!!!! I am starting to think that dreaming needs to become a priority in peoples lives. We can get so busy with the day to day, I think we would all benefit from making time to dream. I think giving ourselves permission to dream big and incredibly is important. Its okay to ask inwardly, "What are my dreams?"
My good friend Emily recently opened one of her dreams! It is such a beautiful store full of beautiful things for the home. I have so enjoyed watching her make her dream a reality! I love her store and everything in it, but more than anything, I have been so inspired by her! Right here, right now, I am claiming huge blessings for her and her life. I believe that her store will be successful on many levels, and I am excited to get to be a small part of the journey. If you get the chance, go here to see her store:

(This is a pic from Emily's store...see that lovely blue couch? Yeah, I am in love with it! This is most definitely going on my dream board! :o)
Another good friend of mine is seeing one of her biggest dreams come true. Her name is Krysta. She is a brave soul who left all the comforts of home here in Kansas to move to L.A. to follow her dreams and the plans God has for her life. She is just days away from moving into a downtown L.A. loft apartment with her best friend...something right out of a movie...something she has always wanted...a dream come true! While I know that she can hardly believe the way God is blessing her, I expected Him to. I have just known it was only a matter of time, and it blesses me to see God work in her life.
I am so thankful to see such strong women, whom I love dearly, follow their dreams!
And maybe its Oprah, or Emily, or Krysta, or God- but I have a renewed faith in dreaming. I think it might be a collection of people, events, and my Creator...but a fire has been lit!!!!
a dream is a wish your heart makes
when your fast asleep
in dreams you will lose your heartache
whatever you wish for you keep
have faith in your dreams and someday
your rainbow will come shining through
nomatter how your heart is grieving
if you keep on believing
the dreams that you wish
will come true
Goodnight, friends...Sweet Dreams!!!
