❤FLYING LIKE AN HELICOPTER❤

Hello, hello, hello! Anybody there? I haven't blogged for a while, and won't be posting as often as I used to but I thought I could do snap shots of the activities and recipes every now and then when I get a chance during my busy schedule. I've been on contract to finish my new manuscript in the next several months, I am excited beyond words to be working with an amazing publisher for this book. Where do I start? I hope you have been "FLYING LIKE AN HELICOPTER" lol. Okay so I have amazing musical children who come up with songs and melodies to die for. Nina, 10, has been composing a lot lately and so my son, 2, who has been watching her, decides he wants to be a songwriter too; we are all in bed one night when he stares at the ceiling fan and  goes "I'm flying like an helicopter, helicopter, helicopter, flying high, high, high". Nina and I took those lines and ran with it, the melody and lyrics are so beautiful we decided to write a song, someday, maybe, you will hear it on Nina's album.

The summer has been busy and event-FULL. Hope and pray you all have been healthy and productive. Here are  a few random pictures from the JOY-filled whirlwind.

Happy 10th Birthday, Nina

Almost 3 years old, Ricky

3rd Race in 4 months. The hill slowed me down.

Starting Training for my half marathon in October, can't wait to add the sticker to the back of my car: Bragging? heck yeah!

You are everything of me
That was stolen when I was a little girl your age;
 Opinionated, assertive, extroverted, bold, confident, bubbly, happy...
 I remember looking at you for the first time and thinking "My God! What a beautiful child, is she really mine?"
And then when at 3yrs old, you started to tell me stories of you and #God,
that was when I knew, ANGEL of mine,
That you left #heaven especially to be by my side.

❤ My Love ❤

Out of the ashes of my life You've created glitters for my crown

From the litter of my broken heart(s) You've painted me a masterful mosaic

with You to lose is to gain

to surrender is to win

A love that I, the poet, the word-weaver, cannot explain

consumed and on FIRE

so overwhelmed that the weight of it all throws me to my knees

and only on my knees do I ever find these words to be true

only on my knees do these words ever find an escape

"I Love You"-- my Lord, my God, my All

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

...and then there was a Mother's love like no other, an example that has never been copied: Mary's love for her son Jesus.

To think that she  knew how it would all end, that she will conceive by the Holy Spirit and not her husband and risk suffering shame and ridicule, to know that her precious child whom she would come to love was going to be a living sacrifice for a group of people (humans) who will one day forget what He did, to know the pain and suffering that was to come and still say yes, yes to God, yes to be the vessel through which all will come to be, to say yes to losing her son on a cross, to say yes to the fact that He will truly not be hers in this world but will one day leave her side to complete His divine mission...May her love be an example to us all who have been blessed to be called mothers, may we teach and guide, may we love and protect and may we also remember that these gifts (children) should be offered/dedicated back to the ONE who gave us them.
