<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: "Noto Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
With 20 years scrapbooking, and much of it spent teaching and helping others do it, I've learned a lot about what people love and what they struggle with. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: "Noto Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Love, relationships, and marriage are at the top of the list because break-ups, divorce and fall outs happen. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: "Noto Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">I was married young, had a family and then divorced. I didn't know I was getting divorced until one day he just up and left. That was it. No car, no money, and no fishing supplies. Yep, he even took the kid sized poles. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: "Noto Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Traditionally journaling was a way to vent and to write what was not pleasant, not liked, not enjoyable OR what was amazing. What if it's actually all amazing? Maybe not in the moment. It wasn't fun having to tell my children their daddy was gone and I didn't have an explanation or excuse for it. It wasn't fun to face each day as a single parent and everything that came with it, but there was amazing blessings, joy and laughter in each day because of my wonderful children.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: "Noto Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">I taught scrapbooking through my online group for almost ten years. The members were from around the world and all ages and experiences. Valentines Day was always one that seemed to spark negative threads. There was talk of shredding photos, taking people out of albums and attempts to re-write their own history. I understood, I'd been there. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: "Noto Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">I'll never forget a conversation I had with one young mom. She hated her grandfather, doesn't matter why, but she had good reason. She asked me for the best way to cut him from the photos and still have the pics to put in her album. We discussed why she thought she needed to do that and it was her way of punishing him. She would just wipe him from her tree, that would teach him! Thing is, that's not possible. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: "Noto Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">I encouraged her to see how he was a part of her story, but she was in control of sharing his part in it. She came to realize that by putting so much effort in to punishing her long dead grandfather, she was really actually giving more power to the hurt and keeping it alive. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: "Noto Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">I asked what she wanted for her children. Did she want to share the poison from those few years forever with them, or did she want to build her own story and theirs? I suggested he was a part of them and that by building up her story, she built up her children as well. She began to focus on family and the positive things her grandparents taught and shared with her. She chose to include the photos with him in it, but at first just mentioned him as the guy in the picture. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: "Noto Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Later, she started to add funny stories and warm memories. After a few months her thought patterns shifted and she focused on sharing the strong family bonds that existed and what an amazing history her children were inheriting of how her grandparents came to America, how they met and married and how they worked hard to create the family farm. She started referring to him as the ornery old fart, but admiring how tough he had to have been to get through the freezing Montana winters without running water or electricity! She chose to share his strengths and focus on what he did right and how she saw those same strengths and passions in her children.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: "Noto Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">She knew how her story would be written and she wrote it that way by focusing on what she loved, what she wanted shared, and how she could uplift her children. She chose love.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: "Noto Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">When my husband left us, it was an amazing blessing. We were happier, safer, more stable without him. None of the difficult times are found in my albums, but he is. I still made pages full of family memories and laughter. Oh, it didn't happen quickly, but it did happen. I recognized early on that I could fill the pages with the hurt and anger that I felt towards him OR I could fill them with the love, joy, and blessings. I chose to empower and uplift my family. I chose love.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: "Noto Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">As we head into celebrating love and relationships and all that comes with that, what do you love? By focusing on what you want and what you want more of in your life, you water the beautiful seeds of joy just waiting to sprout in your garden! </span><span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: "Noto Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
We learned last week that Journaling is just another way of expressing yourself and that there aren’t any rules really. So, if it’s so easy and there aren’t any rules, why do I sit and stare at my page? </div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: "Noto Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Here are a few things you might consider doing to shake things up a bit and get that creativity flowing!</span></div>
<ol style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: "Noto Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em 3em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<li style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Don’t do what you usually do! If you usually write out your dreams/goals/ideas or aspirations in your journal, today draw them! Or find images and text in a magazine and paste it to your page to tell your story. You could paint it, doodle it, or simple doodle. I love to doodle! Don’t know where to start? Put your pen in the middle of the page and draw a swirl. Add a line. Add a word. Add a kitten. Draw a balloon. Do you see a cloud? How about a Heffalump? </li>
<li style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Change up your environment. If you usually write at your kitchen table, maybe consider a local coffee shop or the park watching the kids run and jump and play. Getting out of your regular routine might help spark some new ideas.</li>
<li style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Google it. Looking for new things to write about? Go to your favorite search engine and search for journal prompts. There are hundreds and hundreds there. </li>
<li style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">What do you love? Why do you love it? How can you get more of that in your life? Boom! Inspiration! </li>
<li style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Gratitude – what are you grateful for? It’s ok to start small or really big. I’m grateful I woke up this morning! MMM I’m so thankful for the hot, delicious coffee I’m sipping on right now. I’m so thankful for my warm home as the 40 mph winter winds dance around outside. What are you most thankful for?</li>
<li style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Pick an activity. Write five or six things you are very passionate about. Make a crossword or wordsearch to fit in those words. Or simply write them on your page and color/doodle/paint/glitter or fill them in with whatever makes your heart sing.</li>
<li style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Sometimes music helps. Sometimes quiet does. </li>
<li style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Sometimes not writing at all is the thing to do. Sometimes I just need to grab my camera and go for a walk or call a friend or hit Pinterest. </li>
<li style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Sometimes I really need to talk to a friend. </li>

Each week I will share a journal prompt under the heading Journaling 101 in the weekly newsletter! The prompt is meant to spark ideas and action, but what you create is whatever feels good to you! Splats of color on a page with a quote on it IS journaling! A poem is journaling! Writing out your desires, prayers, dreams, ideas, and feelings IS journaling!</div>

I've been seriously contemplating what I love to do, and I've got a good list going! <div>
I LOVE to: </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Scrapbook - saving of memories is one of my favorite activities! For myself and for others. </li>
<li>Journaling - there is so much enjoyment to encouraging others to journal and write out there thoughts and stories! So much fun!!</li>
<li>I love to create! I enjoy cerating instructional how to's! It is so much fun! </li>
<li>I love sharing. Period. </li>
<li>I enjoy creating fun things for others to use.</li>
<li>I super love helping others by solving a problem. </li>
</ul>
<div>
So, I've put it out there that I'm ready for the change. I'm ready for whatever is coming to me, but I don't know what it is yet! </div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I really enjoyed teaching a new, unique layout every week in my Yahoo group. That was really fun. I do miss that group and the tribe that shared so freely! That was so much fun! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I loved creating little files for people to be able to create paper piecings with and without cutter mahines. I still own www.scrapwithme.com and I have it pointing to the FaceBook group, for now anyway. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm in the process of cleaning up my harddrive and came across a bunch of files that I created for that Yahoo group (ScrapBookingClasses) and I'm so excited as I'm going to start sharing them through the FB group! I think that will be really fun :) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Everyone is welcome to join me in the group and enjoy the shares! I LOVE feedback and really enjoy helping others, so come on over and jump on in!! </div>

You know, that split second where you see something from a different perspective and you just know a light bulb appeared above your head and lit up like the bat signal! I had one of those moments recently. I was listening to a presentation on 'Confront', not to be confused with confrontation. I'm ok with confrontation, no aha's there. If I'm cornered or I'm confronted, I stand my ground and deal with it. To confront is different.<br />

The instructor was talking about Confront as in 'face up to and deal with a problem or situation'. Just open that letter you don't want to read, just face that fear, make that phone call, or reach out to that person. Not doing it doesn't change it, doesn't make it easier, doesn't make it go away. In fact, often not dealing with it makes it worse!<br />
<br />
The class was all about standing up and confronting what is stopping us. When we feel fear, we need to look inside and confront what holds us back from doing what we know we need to do.<br />
<br />
That was my AHA moment right there! I'm more than comfortable with confrontation. Come at me, let's get this over with. I can protect and defend myself and others, no problem. However, I am aware of this thing in me that sometimes silently and effortlessly slides in and almost takes me hostage. It is the weirdest feeling. All of a sudden I'll be overcome with irrational fear over doing something and it's almost always a simple something. It's usually a task I've done before or really have no need to be fearful of. It sneaks in quietly and without fuss.<br />
<br />
I'm not talking about skydiving here. I don't think my fear of jumping out of a perfectly good airplane is irrational! ;) I'm talking about needing to make a phone call and all of a sudden full of so much anxiety and fear that I can't bring myself to dial the number! In that moment I KNOW the feeling is ridiculous. I know I shouldn't fear making the call. I know the call needs to happen to resolve whatever it is I need resolved. Yet, I can't make myself pick up that phone! Why not? Usually I just talk to myself and remind me how silly it is that I'm not doing what I need to do or I'll remind myself of the consequences of not doing it. I'll take a few deep breaths and list all of the reasons why I can do this. Que up the Rocky theme here!<br />
<br />
My AH HA was that I need to confront my hurts. I tend to just stuff them down to 'deal with later', well apparently now is that later. It hit me out of nowhere during that class. I was listening and thinking, Oh I'm good at confrontation. I'm great with stepping up. I'm not usually overcome with fear of tackling something. Then it hit me. It was like I was sitting next to myself and said, "You fear reaching out. You fear rejection. You don't reach out or call people even when you really want to. You don't want to 'bother' anyone. You desperately want to connect with others and you don't. You fear letting people down....." Yeah, the list was even longer.<br />
<br />
That's when I realized I I haven't actually been releasing those hurts, I've been storing them in a big Santa Clause type bag that I carry with me everywhere I go. They are out of sight, in storage, but not gone. I don't store the really big hurts in there, just the billion and two little ones. The big ones I face. I face my bullies head on and I face the big hurts the same way. I process, analyze, take away what I need and then simply let it go. If I can change something to make it better, I do. If I can't, then I accept it.<br />
<br />
Those things in my list, the ones my own voice easily rattled off to me. Those things are not great big bullies, they aren't in-my-face issues and they aren't big, loud, confrontations. They are small things. Pick up the phone and call someone. Que up the Jeapordy theme song here because that's what it feels like. That feeling of urgency, panic, and then the buzzer. I know when I'm feeling overwhelmed it makes it really easy for this feeling of non-confront to slide easily into place. Once that filter is there, I find even easy tasks become difficult.<br />
<br />
After my meditation and prayer this morning I asked God what he wanted from me today. One word rang out in my head. CONNECT. Ughhh... that's the first thing I have to confront -<br />
my fear of reaching out. Connecting with people means letting them in and opening myself up to more hurt, disappointment and rejection. God knows that and told me to do it anyway. I really don't want to... said like a stubborn, tantrum throwing two year old! And yet... it is the thing I want the most.<br />
<br />
These verses came to mind:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>For I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you. (Isaiah 41:13)</li>
<li>Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. (Deuteronomy 31:6) </li>
<li>For God gave us not a spirit of fearfulness; but of power and love and discipline. (2 Timothy 1:7)</li>
<li>Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. (John 14:27)</li>
</ul>
<br />
What's causing the fear though? Do you know how many times the Bible says do not be afraid? There are enough that we could read one a day for a whole year and not cover all of them! So, that leads me to believe that fear is not of God and does not serve me well in this instance.<br />
<br />
Ways I overcome the feeling of non-confront or fear:<br />
<ul>
<li>Make a list of what I need to do. Crossing things off my list is so empowering! </li>
<li>I imagine me doing the thing I need to do and doing it well, which really helps to reduce the fear and/or anxiety.</li>
<li>I grab my essential oil Go-to's and apply them! A little Joy over my heart lifts my spirits and a touch of Valor or Believe oil really do wonders for lifting my courage. </li>
</ul>

I've sung it, recited it, and never fully grasped what I was saying. That is, until last night!<br />
<br />
I had the most amazing experience with my 14 year old. We have a family member in a tough situation and my boy asked if we could pray for him. Of course I agreed! After dinner we stood face to face and held hands. He asked why we need to pray together, now he's asked this before and I always just replied that the Bible says where two or more gather in my name, there I am. He questioned why?<br />
<br />
I seriously thought about it. He was asking a good question, one I'd asked many times, and I wanted to answer him the best I could.<br />
<br />
Have you read The Shack? I love the part of the book where all of the people that have passed over are on the hill waiting for Jesus and the main character to come as they are going to celebrate. There is one person though that is so excited they can't stand it. They are described as having light all around them and when they get excited it really shines bright. In that moment standing in my kitchen holding my boys hand, I understood for the first time this passage in a new way.<br />
<br />
With a thankful heart I looked way up at my little boy and said, "Each of us is a light, but when we come together our light is brighter so it's more like a beacon or the bat light!" God's word is a light unto my feet, he lights the way in the darkness and in the unknown. We came together, each of us bringing our light, and together we were brighter - like a beacon. Can you imagine what that looks like when as a body of Christ we come together and pray!!! OHHH that must be so beautiful.<br />
<br />
The beauty in the images and the love for what I've learned has me sitting here with tears running down my cheek. God is Love and joy and beauty and grace. And light. God is light.<br />
<br />
Let your light shine!<br />
<br />
My prayer for you (If you wish, imagine you are holding hands with me as I pray with you):<br />
<br />
Oh Lord Jesus, I am so thankful for your light in my life! For the times you were there to light the way and I didn't realize it and for times I was aware. Thank you for creating me to be who I am and for encouraging me along the way. I know I stumble sometimes and I know I have more to learn, but I am thankful I'm not who I used to be. I'm thankful. Thank you for being there for me, thank you for guiding me, thank you for never giving up on me. I ask you now to come into my heart, let me hear what you want for me, but I need you to be loud Lord as I'm stubborn and don't always hear the whispers. Thank you Father for this amazing planet full of resources to nourish our bodies and souls. For the sunshine, for the water, for the snow that melts and the sun that heats. Thank you for our breath and for our heart beat. Thank you for our creativity, music, love, laughter, joy and for the storms. It's in the storms I learn and in the warmth of your love I flourish. I join hands with this person reading this now and ask, Holy Spirit please grab their hearts and fill it with light and love and grace. Guide them to where they need to be to take that next step. Please light their path in a might way and lead them out of darkness. We need you Lord, we need you. Please light our way and fill our hearts. Thank you, thank you, thank you.<br />
In the name of Jesus, Amen<br />
<br />
There is a little more from The Shack that I want to share before I sign off:<br />
<br />
<b><i>Wow #1 </i>-."<i>When all you see is your pain, you lose sight of me</i>."</b><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.</li>
<li>Psalm 55:22 - Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken.</li>
</ul>
<br />
Yes, I have experienced great pain. Pain I couldn't see through. Anguish that almost destroyed me. Yes, I do understand devastation. And yes, I do believe everything I just wrote. I believe it with all my heart. I know it to be true. When I quit focusing on the hurt and started imagining I was balling it up and handing it up to God's might hand, like a little child handing a broken toy up to a loving parent to fix, that is when my life started getting better. I began to release the hurt, not quickly, in fact it took a couple of years of doing this before I realized how much of a difference it was making! At first, it was a dump truck sized ball of hurt that I was handing up!<br />
<br />
<b><i>WOW #2 - "You were created to be loved! If pain is left unresolved, it will keep you in this spot and you will forget what you were created for!"</i></b><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>1 John 4:8 But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love.</li>
<li>Romans 8:28 And we know that God causes everything to work together[a] for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.</li>
</ul>
<br />
Pain and grief can cause feelings of isolation, darkness, emptiness and hollowness. None of these feelings are what God wants to happen and to share with you. It's like planting a beautiful rose bush in an amazing greenhouse and watering it and pouring love into it every day, but not allowing the sun in or the lights on. If we hold onto the pain, regret, shame, or guilt that keeps us in the dark - it blocks the light. It's not that the light went away, it is just being eclipsed by the pain you are holding onto.<br />
<br />
<b><i>WOW #3 - "Don't ever think that what my son chose to do didn't cost both of us dearly. Love leaves a mark. I never left him and I never left you."</i></b><br />
<ul>
<li>John 3:16 “For this is how God loved the world: He gave[a] his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.</li>
</ul>
Can you imagine a love so great as to knowingly give such a sacrifice? Jesus went to the cross willingly. He could have stopped it at any time. He'd already been beaten beyond belief. He was hurting from the pain of the ripped open flesh, he was hurting from the betrayal, and I believe he was hurting from the burden that he carried. He knew he had to go through with it to save you, to save me. He knew a love so great that he was willing to die for it, for you!<br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i>4. "Even if you can't see it, you ARE in the center of our love and purpose. And out of all the galaxy, how beautiful it is, it's nothing compared to how we see you."</i></b><br />
<ul>
<li>Psalm 139:14 Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.</li>
</ul>
I'm using the New Living Translation for this blog post because I felt the wording was easier to understand for what I'm trying to say. This passage from the King James is<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well.</li>
</ul>
They both say the same thing; I will praise you God for making me so intricately, wondrously and with intention. Think about it! Your eyes see without you having to think about it! Your lungs breathe and your heart beats! Your kidneys flush out toxins, your ears hear, your brain processes billions of things without you ever even knowing it!! How spectacularly made are you?! Amazing. Absolutely amazing! Then add the intricacies of personality and gifts. Can you sing, write, act, paint, draw, work with wood, build things, create things, mentor others? Are you fantastic with kids? Animals? Elderly? Oh my goodness, you are so amazing! On purpose. Everything we experience in life adds to our databank of knowledge. We learn from it and store it away. If we hold onto it instead of treating it like a book to be read and put away, if we constantly hold it in our hands, then how can we pick up another book?<br />
<br />
<b><i>WOW #4 - "Religion? Religion is way too much work. I don't want slaves, I want friends. Friends to share life with!"</i></b><br />
<ul>
<li>John 15:15 I no longer call you slaves, because a master doesn’t confide in his slaves. Now you are my friends, since I have told you everything the Father told me.</li>
<li>Proverbs 17:17 A friend is always loyal, and a brother is born to help in time of need.</li>
</ul>
Our creator is loving, is Love in fact! The moment that statement rang true in my life was so dumb founding for me! I had always thought of God as this vengeful, angry deity that was out to punish. I was so wrong. I acted out of fear or a rebellion to spite fear. Then a friend shared her love of God with me. I told her I just didn't see God that way. I was a new mom at the time and my friend asked me how I felt when I held my beautiful baby daughter for the very first time? My eyes filled with love and tears slid down my cheeks. Oh how I loved that baby! My sweet friend put her hand on my shoulder and said, with barely more than a whisper, 'you are God's child and are loved that much and more!" In that moment I saw myself as the newborn babe held close to God's heart and my walls crumbled. Old habits die hard is the saying and for good reason! It didn't happen immediately, but I learned to turn to Him out of and for love instead of fear. The older I get the more I realize he wants the best for us and often we are our own stumbling blocks.<br />
The last verse I want to share is:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>John 10:10 The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.</li>
</ul>
<br />
Jesus is sharing that He is the Shepard and wants his sheep to know his voice. He wants to have a relationship with you and, just like a friend or good parent, He wants to pour love and encouragement into you and see you grow and come alive with joy and fulfillment!<br />
<br />
He loves you for exactly who you are. He knows you, every atom, every cell, every thought, every hurt, every tear, every gift, every laugh, every love and every success. He knows. He loves you as you. He sees your light in the darkness and reaches out. Step out of the much my freind. Your light sparkles and dances in your own unique pattern and hue! No one on this planet will ever match your specific light, ever. It is unique to you. Just like your fingerprint is unique to only you. ** You are a one of a kind masterpiece and the creator is so very proud of you. So am I! You are still here so I will share what I have learned are my keys to living a better life;<br />
<br />
Love easy<br />
Forgive quickly<br />
Learn daily<br />
Be quick to apologize<br />
Be thankful in all things<br />
<br />
That's what makes my life more fulfilling :)<br />
<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>** I am referencing the part of the book where the beings are said to each be their own beautiful color of light and that it was vibrant all around them. The book said that one character that was super excited, could be seen from a great distance as his light shot high into the air! I love the way the writer paints this picture! It is so much better in the book! The movie was good, but the book was awesome. In my opinion :) It's a well written story meant to make you think outside the box. </i>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15619681815430506888noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173182425459732403.post-64979672379490563822018-01-09T08:27:00.001-08:002018-01-09T08:28:55.004-08:00Anger issues or tired of feeling rejected?I had the most amazing AFT session today! There is a young man in my inner circle that was struggling. I talked to mom and dad and they set up an appt for him. He got here, we sat down and chatted and I asked him (like I do everyone) "What do you want?" Like a good boy he said he wanted his family happy. Awww, I knew that was so true and I just wanted to hug him.<br />
<br />
So we kept talking and I encouraged him that I really wanted to learn about him and what he wanted. We got to an answer and he easily went through the process. I watched this amazing little guy and saw the shift in him. I'm so very thankful for the path that brought me here. I've experienced this shift in so many people I care about and that has been a huge blessing to me. I've worked with kids, moms, grandma's uncles, dads, and business owners. You know what they all had in common? They were all people wanting more out of life.<br />
<br />
Here is a challenge for you. List what you like. You just found out you have Thursday and Friday off and paid and you were handed $1,000. What would you do? What would you buy? Who would you spend it with? Ok, list the things you would enjoy. Eating out? Reading? Painting? DIYing? Is that a word? Writing? Scrapbooking? Chatting with friends or family?<br />
<br />
Are you doing those things during the week anyway or does it require a special time set aside for it? What's stopping you from enjoying life and adding more of this into your week or your day?<br />
<br />
If you aren't doing 'it', why not?<br />
<br />
I am so exhausted. I go to work, come home, and plop on the couch. I can't wait to go to bed and I dred getting up in the morning. My first thought of the day is for a cup of coffee. I want to tell my boss about that thing, but I'm too afraid. I wish I could talk to people. I wish I knew how to get past this issue.<br />
<br />
I wish.....<br />
I want to.....<br />
I don't want to......<br />
<br />
Yeah, that was me at one time. It's not now and I can thank Jesus, Young Living oils and AFT for the change. Instead of I wish I .... I think to myself, what do I want? Why don't I have that? And I figure it out! I allow myself to tell me!<br />
<br />
I've done hundreds of sessions now. There is a pattern. Time and time again it comes back to feeling rejected or not being supported. It silences, beats down, discourages, causes anger and loneliness. What if you aren't actually afraid of failure, but of success? What if you don't actually hate talking to people, but you have deep seated fear of rejection? Once you know what it is, it's so much easier to acknowledge it and let it go.<br />
<br />
I wish... for you to have confidence<br />
I want to .... help you<br />
I don't want to ..... not offer this amazing tool because I'm fearful of being rejected or mocked<br />
<br />
Our God is so amazing and he planned our whole universe with intention! Everything has an energy and impacts something else, on purpose!! Wow, that is so mind boggling to me!! I was watching an aquarium on YouTube (Yeah, I was literally sitting there watching fish swim on my tv ;) As I watched some jellyfish, beautiful, amazing, delicate little jellyfish swam by. Their graceful moves were so mesmerizing. Then a school of bright orange fish came on the screen and darted all at the same second away from something off camera. As ONE they moved away from danger! The scene then changes to stunning coral and the tiny creatures hiding in it. This is all done in our massive ocean away from all eyes. It all works in unison to keep this planet going. Each one building on the other, right down to the tiniest of tiny! He knew those tiny shrimp would need something to eat and that there would be other things to eat them. He joyously created our whole universe for us to bloom in!<br />
<br />
And I know he created the plants that went into the oils to make the blends that make AFT work. And it's stunning. It is my prayer that you find what works for you to best help you move forward and out of bondage. God loves you. He knows exactly who you are, what your hangups are and where you are. He knows what you've been through. He knows all and he loves you and desires peace and joy for you.<br />
<br />
I want the same.<br />

There is so much to work on sometimes, right? We, as a society, are just plain busy. Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, email, texting, blogs, news and so much more! We are constantly being bombarded with information! It can be overwhelming.<br />
<br />
My outlet has always been being creative. When I'm creating is when I'm most excited about life and most at peace. So, it's not surprising that a few years ago when life became more difficult than I could handle, the first thing to go was my creativity. Away went my camera, my scrapbooking supplies, my ink and stamps, all of it. Boxed up and ignored. Every time I thought I might want to do something, even a simple something, all of the life crushing pain of that difficult time came pouring back in. I would quickly drop the thought of creating anything and <b><i>run</i></b> from it!<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>My prayer for the last few years, my sincere prayer, was that God use me where He wants me. I started getting nudged to be creative. Nope was my answer. What else Lord? </li>
<li>I offered to Him that I acknowledged that He had really gifted me with an ability to coach and encourage people. I just knew things sometimes and could give them advice and I knew it wasn't from me. I offered that up. God smiled and said, yes, do that. </li>
<li>I worked and worked at it. I tried to make it happen. I prayed and cried. Lord, why isn't this working?! </li>
<ul>
<li>Where is the creativity in what you're doing? </li>
<li>Oh Lord, I can't do that! </li>
<li>Silence. </li>
</ul>
<li>Lord, please show me where you want me. I felt nudged to write and create. Nope. What else Lord? Please show me where you want me!</li>
<ul>
<li>Silence.</li>
</ul>
<li>Oh Jesus, I want to serve you and be where you want me to be and do what you want me to do! I started dreaming of the creative things I used to make and the things I wanted to make. In the morning upon recalling the dreams, I would again be overwhelmed with the overwhelming pain of that particular time in my life. The anger, frustration, and complete heartache would wash over me and I'd run from the idea. Instead of making a card, I would just sit and cry over what I lost. </li>
</ul>
<br />
I prayed harder for direction and for it to be super obvious because I can be dense.<br />
So this started with great gusto about two years ago. Two Years! It took me two years to listen? No, it took two years for God's plan to be perfectly laid out and to move me to where I needed to be to accomplish it! OH that feels me with so much emotion! Love, Joy, gratitude, humbleness, and more.<br />
Every excuse I'd been handing up started to be resolved!<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Lord, I don't have the time! I'm so tired in this job. </li>
<ul>
<li>Done. I got laid off. I knew in that moment it was from God and I never suffered a second of remorse. I felt great peace in that decision. </li>
</ul>
<li>Lord, I have all of this emotional baggage that I can't get past. </li>
<ul>
<li>I'm a Young Living essential oil distributor and the conference was in Salt Lake and my husband and I went. Just before leaving I was introduced to something called the Aroma Freedom Technique (AFT). I am a very down to earth, straight forward, must be logical person. My AFT intro shocked me! So much that I will write a second blog today and tell the whole story and then I'll come back here and link it!! That's how stunning it was! </li>
<li>Anyway, I told my husband about this amazing experience and that this was a brand new process and they would be at the convention! We determined we would find them and learn more. We went to the convention with 30,000 other people. The AFT people (I was so shocked by what I experienced that I hadn't even taken notes on who I needed to find!) were not listed in the agenda so I didn't know where to find them. By the end of the week I was tired and had given up finding them. Friday morning I found myself standing in a long line waiting for a class to open up. I was on my phone - doing nothing really, I just didn't feel social! I felt a strong nudge to talk to the woman next to me. Nope. I don't want to. <i>Talk to her.</i> No, I'm too tired and she's busy on her phone. <i>Talk to her.</i> I don't have anything to say and I'm not good at small talk. <i>Talk to her.</i></li>
<ul>
<li><i>Note here that I knew it was the Holy Spirit talking to me and I was IGNORING it!! I was arguing! ugghhh</i></li>
</ul>
</ul>
</ul>
The woman in front of me addressed those of us in line and asked our name and where we were from. I answered, she answered Angie and we kept going. The woman then asked us what we did other than Young Living. I answer and then the woman next to me, that I'd been being led to talk to and was avidly arguing that I didn't want to, replied that she was the personal assistant to Dr. Perkus of the Aroma Freedom Technique.<br />
I felt my head spin to my right and my chin hit my chest! I knew my eyes were way too big and that she felt my surprise as she actually moved away from me a little! "You are who?" She replied again. Oh Lord, you are so good!! Even when I'm being a spoiled brat you love me. What I said was, "It is so very nice to meet you Angie, I was introduced to AFT just a week ago and really want to learn more! Can I connect with you?" She said yes and added me to FB right there in line! A week later I was signed up for the course so I could share AFT with others. I wanted everyone to experience the shift that I had!<br />
<ul>
<li>I didn't need AFT. It wasn't for me. I needed to use it on others and use it I did! I reached out to everyone I knew and gave session after session away while I learned the technique and because I knew how powerful it was! </li>
<li>No clients though. Although everyone raved about the amazing results and wanted more free sessions, they were suddenly too broke to pay for a session or simply didn't find it worth paying for. </li>
<li>I prayed again for God to use me so that I could change lives in his name. Again I felt creativity come forward. I can't Lord, not that! Please, anything else! And then I wrote a blog post. I hadn't written in years! It wasn't great, but it felt great to create! </li>
<li>I knew I needed to deal with my issues so I did an AFT. Not much happened. I wasn't actually ready to deal with it and I knew it. I was hiding in the pain. If I put myself out there again, I put myself in the path of all of that pain again and I didn't want to. I had a few friends start praying for me and one day I woke up with so much going on in my head! I was angry and frustrated and overwhelmed with reminders of the past! I grabbed my oils and sat down. I was ready. </li>
<ul>
<li>Through AFT I found the shift that I needed. I absolutely understood how I had connected my pain to my craft and how I had been holding onto things that I needed to let go. I heard in my head "WHY are you holding onto that? You don't even want it!" I felt the shift in that second. I didn't want it! I was mourning something I didn't have and it had stopped me for years and in that second I not only understood I didn't actually want it, but I let it go! I stood up and through the most anguished tears I've experienced in a very long time, I said out loud what I should have done years ago. I forgave. I said out loud what I forgave and who and found myself pouring out things I didn't even know I was holding onto! When I was done I was exhausted and felt so light! </li>
</ul>
</ul>
Was my life made perfect and wonderful in that moment? No. I was freed from the bondage of hurt, pain, and unforgiveness. I finally gave it to God and that day that happened I had the most amazing epiphany and wrote a blog post on the <a href="http://tammeybrown.blogspot.com/2017/11/armor.html" target="_blank">Armor of God</a>. I was so raw and vulnerable that day, I needed protection and out of the blue, the Armor of God appeared in my thoughts! It was spectacular and I walked through the steps and then sat down and wrote that post! I wrote it with all of the love and passion that I was feeling in that moment! And it was good! It was so good to write and imagine and to create and share!! YES!!! God used my pain to heal!!! I found myself reciting I am full of Joy, gratitude and grace. All the time! Randomly I would find myself repeating it over and over in my head. I am FULL of Joy, gratitude and grace. Always!<br />
<br />
I have my first creative workshop coming up. I'll admit I am terrified! What if, what if, what if! What if they don't like it? What if I am boring and not creative? What if it's no good? What if no one likes it.<br />
<br />
So my word for 2018 is GUSTO! I considered Boldness, but I want more than that for my life! I want to not only be bold enough to do what I'm called to do, but (despite the fear) I want to tackle it with gusto! My Vision Board Workshop is online through Zoom this coming Saturday. Despite the fear, I'm going to go through with it with<br />

It's the perfect collaboration of everything I love and will be hosted by <a href="http://scrapwithme.com/">scrapwithme.com</a>.<br />
<br />
What is a Vision Board? Great question! I remember doing them in school, do you? My class cut out grandiose pictures of mansions and fancy cars with high power people standing next to them. We announced to the world that we wished, therefore we could expect it. Right? Frankly, I always hated making those boards! Even as a 5th grader I thought they were ridiculous because I felt it was a huge lie. I knew that the likelihood of me growing up and having a mansion, fancy car, being tall and gorgeous AND having a great job were one in a trillion. Not that I thought less of myself, I thought it of everyone in my class. If it were that easy, everyone would do it. Therefore, it must be very difficult and that lessened the odds. I also knew that I was one of nine children from a blue collar family and, although it wasn't impossible to have a good job and a nice car, I'd been to a new school every semester my whole school career. I was shy and awkward and had zero knowledge of the professional world, investing, money or how to manage a business.<br />
<br />
I tell you all of this because I had an epiphany recently. Wow, 2017 brought so much change and growth into my life! Anyway, back to my epiphany. We go after what we focus on. Tada! There you go. My great knowledge of 2017. When I'm working towards something I meditate on what I want, I focus, think about, plan, look for it and I work towards it. A vision board didn't make sense. I thought of it as putting pretty pictures on a large, ugly poster board and writing fancy dreams all over it and then sticking it in a closet somewhere.<br />
<ul>
<li><b>Mistake 1</b>: I put it in a closet and then tossed it sometime later</li>
<li><b>Mistake 2</b>: I didn't understand the power of seeing my desires in color and shape every day</li>
<li><b>Mistake 3</b>: I never took it seriously</li>
</ul>
Here's an example of what I'm talking about. I've always wanted to build a house. I knew it was in my future so I thought about it, planned for it in my head, waited for it and then when the nudge came to start looking; I did. We then built a house in a quiet little neighborhood. That took me 20 years to manifest. How much quicker would it have been had I drawn out the house I wanted, added to it as I went and put it on a vision board for me to wake up and immediately look at every single day?<br />
<br />
WOW - BOOM! There it is. That's the why of a vision board. It's not to dream silly, but to plan and act on what we actually want and that's the piece I was missing all these years. Sitting here writing this I had a vision come into my head of someone in a flat bottomed boat pulling on a rope tied to the shore. They are trying to cross a muddy bog so they pull on the rope and get a little closer to shore. Pull again and get a little closer. That's me now. I see the shore and move towards it a little each day by focusing on what I want and SEEING it. Same vision transitioned to me sitting in the same boat, but waiting for the wind and what little water there was to move me towards the shore. UGHHH How silly I feel. The whole time all I had to do was pick up the rope!<br />

Ok, so I just now made up Gratitude Goblet because I'm mostly dealing with adult children now and it sounds more grown up. Either way, it's the same idea. Take a Mason jar or decorate a coffee can (or one of thos large teddy bear containers from Costco! I think they have animal crackers in them?) and put it somewhere easy to spot. Place a pen or pencil and small pieces of paper next to it. ANY time something really great happens, write it on a piece of paper and add it to the jar!<br />
<br />
There are other themes that this time of year brings to mind as well. Prayer jar where you write out your prayer requests and drop them in the jar. At the end of the year you go back through and read them. Are you grateful that prayer didn't come to pass or are you thankful that it did? Did it work out better than what you asked for? You can also throw in blessings throughout the year and read them on Thanksgiving day next year!<br />
<br />
A Memory Jar is a good one too, especially if you have young children. It's so very easy to forget the amazing things they do and say! If you take a second and write them down, then you won't forget! It also makes scrapbooking easier.<br />
<br />
Here is a fun printable to make a fun thankful jar at <a href="https://www.alexbrands.com/ecocrafts-thankful-jar/">Alexbrands.com</a><br />

As a mom, grandma, auntie and family historian, I can't stress enough how important it is to write down, surround yourself with and list your blessings often.<br />
<br />
When your focus is on what brings you joy, you find more joy. When the focus is on whats negative or hurtful, then it's like a spotlight is put on that instead.<br />

Please note, I'm not affiliated with alexbrands in any way, I just really thought the printable was cute and would be easy to make with kids!<br />
<br />
Here is a link to turning one of those teddy bear containers into an owl! Owl be Thankful in All Things!<br />
<br />
If you start this tonight at Thaksgiving dinner, by next Thanksgiving you will have a whole jar of memories, blessings or prayer requests (or All three!) to share with loved ones!<br />

You can find me at <a href="http://www.scrapwithme.com/" target="_blank">Scrapwithme.com </a>See you there!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15619681815430506888noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173182425459732403.post-26730984989562598102017-11-21T10:39:00.000-08:002018-01-08T11:45:38.875-08:00Armor of God and meI've heard of the Armor of God, read about it, marveled at the verses and promptly moved on. I'm such a visual thinker that I took this to be a nice parable. You know, more like directions to praise God in all things and to pray about everything. I begin and end every day with what I'm thankful for and give praise. To me, it's easy as I'm so thankful for everything. My life could really look different today, instead I can see where God stepped in and protected, guided or thumped me as needed.<br />
<br />
Today. Today the Armor of God became real. It was so powerful, I feel compelled to write it down. I decided last week that I'm going to blog, even if no one ever reads it, so here is what happened.<br />
<br />
I'm enjoying a daily devotion called <a href="https://www.bible.com/reading-plans/8721-whisper-how-hear-the-voice-of-god-mark-batterson" target="_blank">Whisper: How to hear the voice of God</a>. I really want to get better at hearing that whisper! This morning I was meditating and asking God to show me what he wanted of me to speak to me in a way that I would understand. I was asking him to move me forward and tell me what to do. Really I was wanting him to simply Tweet or Facebook me some direction. A neon sign would have been ok too. I quieted my heart and prepared to listen.<br />
<br />
Suddenly, I was reminded of a very hurtful situation and I started bawling. Not cute little tears where they quietly slide down the cheeks. Nope. All out, can't catch my breath, blubbering. I grabbed my oils and took myself through an <a href="http://www.ascentessentials.com/" target="_blank">AFT</a> session on releasing traumatic memories. I started with the one I was crying over and then recalled a few events from childhood where everyone around me was sad. They kept pushing little Tammey to the side with a hug and encouragement and dismissal. I was too young to understand what was going on. Today I realized they were protecting me from death of loved ones and the funerals, but at the time I simply felt like I'd done something wrong. Now I was able to see the situations through adult eyes and instead of dismissed and at fault, I felt an overpowering flood of protection and love come over me! Faces of loved ones quickly came to mind. It didn't end there though, there was more work to be done as God brought things to me and I had to deal with them. I had to deal with the guilt, ignorance, ego, actions, thoughts, my part in it and hardest of all; I had to forgive myself and others.<br />
<br />
In the end I was spent and felt so vulnerable. Then loud and clear Ephesians 6:10-18 came to me! At least the 'Put on the full armor of God for your struggle is not against flesh, but against spiritual forces of evil'. OH!<br />
<br />
Here is what my Bible says:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><i>Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. </i></b></blockquote>
I grabbed my oils and said this prayer while following <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians+6&version=NIV" target="_blank">Ephesians 6 </a>(NIV). I said each one out loud and with conviction as I acted out each part.<br />
<ol>
<li><b><i>I said</i></b>: I stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around my waist <br /><b><i>I acted</i></b> out buckling on a belt while imagining the weight and power as I wrapped it around me and it settled on my hips.<br /><b style="font-style: italic;">I applied </b>a drop of Frankincense to my belly button and swooshed across hips like a belt</li>
<li><b><i>I said:</i></b> I accept and put on the breastplate of righteousness<br /><b><i>I acted </i></b>out putting on the breastplate and imagined the weight of it in front of me and against my chest. I immediately felt the protection from it.<br /><b><i>I applied</i></b> a drop of Joy over my heart </li>
<li><b><i>I said: </i></b>My feet are fitted with readiness that comes from the Gospel of Peace. They will carry me through the day and through all trials with the knowledge that through Christ all things are possible.<br /><b><i>I acted </i></b>out slipping heavy, armored shoes on<br /><b style="font-style: italic;">I applied </b>a drop of Valor to the inside of my ankle back of my neck</li>
<li><b><i>I said:</i></b> I willingly take up the Shield of Faith which will extinguish all flaming arrows of evil.<br /><b><i>I acted</i></b> out picking up a large, heavy, beautiful shield of protection and held my arm up to my chest as if I was indeed holding a shield.<br /><b><i>I applied</i></b> a drop of Forgiveness to the base of my throat and my wrists</li>
<li><b><i>I said: </i></b>(With great humility and gratefulness) I put on the the Helmet of Salvation<br /><b><i>I acted</i></b> out picking up a heavy knights helmet and put it on my head while considering what salvation means to me and what it took for me to receive it.<br /><b><i>I applied</i></b> Believe to my lower back and a drop to the top of my head</li>
<li><b><i>I said:</i></b> With all my heart I carry the Sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. I will hold it in front of me cutting through the bull and slicing through the lies while protecting myself and others from fiery arrows.<br /><b><i>I acted </i></b>as if I picked up a long sword and saw in my minds eye a beautifully and majestically adorned sword aglow as if it was filled with hot white fire. I swing it from side to side like knights on TV do before holding it in front of me as if prepared for battle.<br /><b><i>I applied </i></b>Abundance oil to my earlobes and rubbed it into my palms. I inhaled deeply and thanked God for the abundance in my life; for my loved ones, home, family, vehicles, job, warmth from the heater, the praise music on the radio, the sun shining outside, and the truths He showed me today. </li>
</ol>
Out loud I said: Now that I am fully clothed in the Armor of God, I give you my day, my actions and my words, Lord. Lead me where you want me. Let not my heart be troubled by harsh words, doubters, and failures for I am a child of the one true King.<br />
<br />
I applied a drop of Inner Child to my palm, rubbed my hands together and inhaled while remembering one of my favorite childhood memories. It was of my dad taking all of us kids up into the mountains to play at this out of the way campground. He cooked bacon, eggs and potatoes over a fire while I scoured the ground for beautiful rocks to take home. The memory brought me great joy and a feeling of family and belonging. I absolutely know that I don't need to use essential oils while putting on the Armor. I know. For me though, it gave me a physical action and I use the oils because I enjoy them and what they do for me.<br />
<br />
I can feel all of the armor on me. I don't know why I didn't do this sooner! When I did think of the armor I would apply it more in a rushed list: shoes, belt, shield, helmet, sword and out the door I go sort of way. NOT good enough. I would never go into battle like that and yet I was!<br />
<br />
What started with a whole lot of hurt and kleenex, ended in one of the most beautiful experiences!! I always thought of putting on the Armor of God as a powerful soldier heading into battle to fight, more like needing to be Goliath and standing firm in my convictions. The difference today was that I put on the armor of protection and knelt before my savior and king and gave the fight to Him.<br />

If you are looking for the essential oils I used, you can find them here: <a href="https://www.myyl.com/ascentessentials#my-products">https://www.myyl.com/ascentessentials</a> Here is my list:<br />
<ol>
<li>Frankincense - Matthew 2:11 They offered Frankincense to Mary and her beautiful baby boy</li>
<li>Joy - Galatians 5:22 When I put aside my doubts and weaknesses it is so much easier to find Joy around me</li>
<li>Valor (Valor II is good too) - Habakkuk 3:19 The Lord is my strength</li>
<li>Forgiveness - I turned to Luke for this. Luke 17:4 To forgive 7x7 doesn't meant to keep letting them hurt, misuse or abuse. It means to forgive and give it to God. And Luke 7:47 </li>
<li>Believe - 1 Kings 10:7 I was like them. I didn't believe the way I should have until I experienced it like this today. </li>
<li>Abundance - 1 Chronicles 29:16 It all comes from and belongs to God. I am so very grateful for all things.</li>
<li>Inner Child - Matthew 18:3 To have the faith of a child; that unconditional love and trust</li>
</ol>
I'm so thankful for AFT (Aroma Freedom Technique) and the assistance it provided today. I was really stuck and it was the boost I needed. God knew how stuck I was. He met me where I was, reached into my pain, and pulled me OUT! I didn't need the oils to put on the Armor of God. I needed the emotional boost to get past the hurt and anger as quickly and as dramatically as I did. It was a significant shift in one morning. BOOM! And it took all of my resources to push through those walls! My Saviour stepped into my morning and poured into me exactly what I needed and met me where I was at. He used everything around me to heal a gargantuan hurt in me. It was a blackhole that sucked my joy, creativity and energy into it.<br />
<br />
I like to say I have AFT and oils in my toolbelt, but it was God's idea! He brought it to Dr. Perkus years ago full well knowing who it would impact and that I would need it to push through everything this morning! I am so very thankful for all He has done in my life.<br />

I'm here for you if you are looking for something to help boost you as well, please feel free to contact me at <a href="https://www.ascentessentials.com/">https://www.ascentessentials.com</a><br />

We've all heard about the guy walking along the beach throwing starfish back into the ocean when along comes a stranger that asks why he is doing it. He replies that each starfish is special and deserves to live. The stranger looks around and sees so many starfish and turns back to the man, with great mockery he says, 'You aren't even making a dent'. To that the kind hearted starfish rescuer replies 'to that one, I made a difference' as he tosses another one back.<br />
<br />
'And to that one', and he tosses one more.<br />
<br />
I always loved this story. Today however, today it landed on my heart in a whole new way! I'm much more like the naysayer walking down the beach. I can get overwhelmed with the things I can't accomplish. The things I can, I do and move on. The things I can't sit and mock me, much like the stranger did to the man. I'm my own reminder of what I'm not doing. I'm that puppy chasing her tail.<br />
<br />
Today though, today I got to be the guy throwing starfish back! You know, there are billions of people in this world and we all hustle and bustle our way through the day.<br />

Where do we fit in stopping and being thankful? Thankful we have kids (furkids included) to get up with in the morning. Thankful we have something for breakfast and something to cook breafast with and a nice, warm place to eat that breakfast. Do we stop and say thank you that our kids can go to school (public/home/private - whatever)? Do we stop and say thank you for the transportation to work/shopping/meetings/church/friends/gas station ;) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When do we fit in our busy days time to stop and look around us and just simply say thank you? </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The next time you find yourself complaining about something (like a difficult job or boss), stop and write down ten things you are grateful for. Just ten. Need a little help? Maybe apply some Clarity oil to the top of your head, I know that really helps me! Can you list ten things? Or do you get stuck in the things you don't like?</div>

I love to help people. I know God put me on this Earth for a reason and He gave me a specific set of gifts that I'm to use to be the hands and feet of Jesus. I've spent the last fifty years trying to figure it out. Today, there are tears in my coffee. Why? Today I figured it out. It's that one starfish. And then that one. And then that one. ONE!!! Not all of them. Not as many as I can carry. That one. That special, beautiful, unique, alive, amazing creature. I'm supposed to help that one today. That's what He asks of me and that's what I'll do. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As you all know, I'm an AFT Certified Practitioner and I work with people to help them put words and action to what they really want. It is an amazing blessing that I'm truly thankful for every day. I've been working with this one awesome woman and to see her release a heavy anchor and soar just makes my heart sing. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For her to take time to think of ME today, filled my heart with Joy! I made a difference to one person, for one minute or one day or one week.... it doesn't matter. What does matter is that I allow my light to shine and that I'm thankful. And that's when it hit me. the Starfish parable landed on my heart and I understood it in a way I never had before. Hence the tears. Tears of Joy. Tears of gratitude. Tears of humbleness. I'm so thankful.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Be that light today people.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When someone cuts you off in traffic, understand they are rushed and possibly hurting and possibly on the way to an emergency and possibly rushing home because a loved one isn't answering the phone or baby girl got hurt at daycare or the test results just came in. Don't assume the worst, give them the best. Throw that starfish back.</div>

<div>
When someone says something sharp today, say a payer for them. It's not you. It's them. It's their pain, it's their baggage, it's their loss. Step back and see them as a hurting, gasping little starfish and be willing to give two seconds of your time to save them... and you. Throw that one starfish back!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This all made me remember something I heard on the radio yesterday. Instead of saying 'How are you', try saying 'What's good today'? WOW!!! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So, to you I ask, <b><i>what's good today</i></b>? </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And I really would like to know :) </div>

When I decided to plant a garden I had to research what plants would grow well in this area and where to buy them. I had a goal of having a beautiful garden, so I put a lot of time into research, digging up and clearing the land and buying the right seeds. Imagine this beautiful space with a bright, white trellace for lush, green snap peas to climb! Then there are the delicious, bright red strawberries dangling just within reach! The lovely stalks of corn with their silky tops reaching to the sky and the potatoes, carrots and zuchini filling the ground. OH!!! I loved my garden! I did as I'd read and went into the garden and watered it and pulled the weeds. I'd done my research, I knew what to do!<br />

<br />
My friends and family would come over and we would sit in the sunshine and enjoy the fruits of my labor. They marveled at my lovely garden and ate of the fruits. Then my mom came over. She IS an amazing gardener! She can get anything to grow! Even things that shouldn't grow up here in the cold north will grow for her.<br />
<br />
She gasped at the colors in my garden and then pointed to the beautiful, purple topped flower in the corner. I didn't know what it was, but it was so pretty so I just left it there. She told me the name of it and that it was a horrible weed! It was one of those weeds covered in tiny little needles and no matter how thick the gloves were when we pulled it out, we were likely to get pricked from it. YIKES! Once she pointed it out to me, I realized how many more of those pretty purple, flower topped weeds were in my garden! I set to work pulling them out. By the time I was done my fingers were bleeding and hurt for days! Those little needles had some kind of poison ithem so, although I got the the little thorn out, they still burned and itched for a long time!<br />
<br />
Again I could look at my garden and marvel at the beauty! Again my mother came for a visit. See these low growing, wide leaf plants here? She pointed to the ground. Sure enough, there were thick, fuzzy, wide leaf plants there! She taught me about them and that those would grow deep roots and steal nutrients from the important plants in my garden. I reached for one and was shocked by how deep the root was! It went down and down! When did these nasty things get here? I went to work pulling them all out. I was hot and sweaty and dirty, but it was worth it!<br />
<br />
Now I could sit back and enjoy my garden! No, mom says now I need to get out the little rake thing and loosen the dirt around the plants to make sure I dug out the little hidden weeds. Also, she points to the lovely little tree growing in the corner of my garden. I was going to leave that there I told her. I see it and water it! Isn't it pretty? Sure it is she replies. You should know though, that that is a pine tree. Although beautiful, the sap in the trees drip down onto the soil and make it too acidic to grow anything, not even weeds. Oh. I didn't know that. She also pointed out that a tree in that corner of my garden will block all of the sunshine. I looked at that tree almost every day and never thought of it a problem or a barrier to what I wanted to achieve. Ok, that tree needs to go. Again I get out the shovel and do the work of removing the tree and the roots so it doesn't continue to poison my garden.<br />

<br />
I'm enjoying the ripe, lucious strawberries and crisp snap peas today when I looked down and there was one of those spiky, purple topped weeds! It is right at the base of my favorite zuchini plant! How did that get there? I grabbed my gloves and reached down to pull it out. The little spikes poke at me in resistence. It doesn't want to leave! I try again. No luck. Mom says to break it off a few inches above ground and cover it with a heavy rock. Yeah, I'll do that. I'm aware of it now, I'll deal with it later. Later that week mom shows up with a little shovel and goes to work on that weed. It's so deep! We really have to dig to get to it, but we have to be careful to get all the roots or it will grow back.<br />
<br />
Now, for those of you that are on the AFT journey with me, you probably have already realized that the garden I'm talking about are my memories and the experiences that shaped me to be me. Mom is AFT. When I look out at my garden I can see the beautiful fruit; my family and friends, the things I've accomplished and the things I'm working towards.<br />
<br />
I would never expect to plant a huge garden and simply have to water it for the season. It's going to take some work. Setting and reaching our goals are going to take some work too! We need to let mom into the garden to find the things sucking the life out of our plants (dreams).<br />
<br />
I had influential people in my childhood that poured into me. They told me I was smart and that I was a good writer, so I grew up believing I was smart and could write. I would look into my garden and see that. It took AFT to point out the seeds of doubt hiding in the shadows of those plants. The doubt was strangling my confidence and I didn't even know it!<br />
<br />
I'm in a Create <a href="http://aroma-freedom-academy.thinkific.com/?ref=624b88" target="_blank">Your 30 Day Miracle Challenge </a>and I went into it with a goal. I expected, like with gardening, that I would need to pay some attention to my intentions and act on them. What I didn't expect were the hidden little things that were stopping me! Those seeds of doubt were buried deep and had strong roots! It took me a couple of AFT sessions to get deep enough to actually identify what was stopping me, but when I did BOOM!! I felt so much lighter! With each session I'm able to identify seeds planted by others and dig them out! Once they are removed, I am free of their influence.<br />
<br />
I love to write. I love to share with others and I love writing this blog. It doesn't even matter if no one else ever reads it. I want to be here sharing, so I am. This analogy hit me this morning and I just had to share it! My mom really is an amazing gardener and is so skilled at it! I really am not. It took her pointing the weeds out to me before I knew what they were, so this really hit home. I hope you enjoyed reading it and it was as impactful to you as it was to me!<br />

I'm a mountain girl. I grew up around Missoula, MT and absolutely love the area. One of my favorite things was to walk in the streams (or brooks/creeks) and look at the pretty rocks. I learned pretty quickly though that the beautiful rocks in the water changed drastically once dry and to just leave them where they were. Plus, my mom didn't much appreciate me having piles of rocks in my room.<br />
<br />
Today it came to me that our lives are like a stream. Everything we experience is like the bed of the stream. The boulders in the middle are the big events in our lives. They are obvious and are usually sticking out of the water. They don't really alter the direction of the stream and if they aren't too big, then the water can actually run over them and keep going. Some are much too large for that and the water is divided and forced to go around the barrier, sometimes causing us to get stuck at it and sometimes just going around it.<br />
<br />
The rest of the natural path under quick flowing water is made of rocks, pebbles, sand and the natural dirt of the area. The water continues to rush over billions of pebbles unhindered. That's our life! All of our experiences are either various sized pebbles that sit under the surface, unseen, yet still guiding our direction or large, obvious boulders disrupting the smooth surface of our lives. The pebbles build up over time and make the most change in the course of the water. Layer after layer can be added and, from the outside, the course of the water appears the same. Slowly the direction of the stream can be changed by adding layers pebbles. The water will continue to trickle over the pebbles and easily glide over the small rocks. Eventually, if you add enough, even the boulder is covered and hidden by the water. Have you ever walked through a beautiful, crystal clear stream? You can see everything through the water, except where you have stepped or disturbed the creekbed. The once still bottom quickly muddies the water and makes it impossible to see anything. It takes a few seconds or so for the rushing water to clear the area again.<br />
<br />
When I experienced AFT, I went into it totally aware of the boulders in my life. I've got them all mapped out. Some are so impactful they actually changed the course that I was going. Those I'm aware of and I learned from. Not all of them are bad either! Some are huge, life changing positive things. Some are serious God moments that made me aware of something and I changed in an instant. Some are big, ugly events that sit huge and forlorn in the middle of my way.<br />
<br />
So, when I sat down for my first AFT, I thought I was well prepared. I know the things holding me back. I'm super self aware and always reading and learning and trying to move forward. What AFT did for me was unmuddy the water where I'd been walking so I could see the many pebbles under the surface. That first session, it wasn't the boulders in my life that came forward. It was a tiny pile of pebbles cast into my stream by my stepmother. It was echoes of being told I wasn't important, I wasn't attractive and I ... well I just wasn't. Now, most of those things she didn't say outright. She said things like, <i>You know, you aren't nearly as smart as you think you are or If you'd just lose weight you would almost be pretty. </i> I don't know why she insisted to me that I wasn't smart or pretty. I don't know why she found me to be such a threat. I'll never know why she talked to me that way as she's gone now, but now it really doesn't matter.<br />
<br />
Until that moment in that AFT session, I'd buried those memories. I dismissed them as unimportant. I haven't even seen her in 30+ years. What she said to me didn't matter. I had boulders in my life that said I was smart and I did matter. Those pebbles were still there though. So many of them hiding there. The AFT session brought them forward and I was able to deal with them and actually let them go for the first time. Decades after having dumptrucks of them poured into my stream, I finally saw them for what they really were. It was like holding dry, ugly rocks under crystal clear water and seeing them for the first time. It was so impactful for me! I hadn't realized how many times over the years those negative pebbles were being handed to me! They did alter the direction I wanted to go, it was slow and over time and almost imperceptible, but it was there. They were hiding in the shadows of the boulders and in the muddied waters.<br />
<br />
Really, it was like AFT just unmuddied the waters and let me see what was really sitting there. Normally, whenever I got to a well known boulder, I would just see the boulder and move around it. I was very aware of it and knew it to be a barrier for me. Those millions of tiny pebbles though, I never noticed them. It wasn't just my stepmother, there were a few others that fed to the pile as well. They left my life almost as quickly as they entered it, so I never gave any thought to any of them. In that session I recognized the issue, acknowledged it, understood how it was stopping me and moved on from it. Thus, the word FREEDOM in Aroma Freedom Technique!<br />

<br />
The water is beautiful and clear once again. I recognize what was said wasn't really anything against me personally. It was her own hurts, her own issues and her need for ... I don't know what, but I released it and acknowledged that I am enough.<br />
<br />
I want that for you! To look into the water and see it clear up is such an amazing experience. Changing the course of my future by acknowledging my past and letting it go... priceless.<br />

Sessions begin wherever the person needs and they are all over the board! Seriously, they are so varied I couldn't even list the top five.<br />
<br />
That's not the surprising part. I expected that. As I was guiding someone through a session this week I had a feeling we would get to anger and then a serious shift for her. Sure enough, anger popped up and then a serious shift. That really got me to thinking. As I sit through these sessions and listen to people (which I love!), anger seems to be an umbrella emotion for other things. People feel rejected, abandoned, walked on, dismissed, and belittled. They feel unimportant and unheard. The memories that come forward almost always surprise the person and I hear "wow, I haven't thought of that in years!" As they work through the emotions from beginning to end, it seems that anger (although often the final emotion) is actually disappointment, rejection, frustration or simply the desire to fight back.<br />
<br />
At home I started putting my finding to the test. When someone says they're angry, I talk to them about it. Every time it has been some other emotion at the root. Not really angry, just tired. Not actually angry, just feeling unheard. Huh, nope, not angry; just frustrated with the situation. Amazing. I moved this out to the people around me. When someone said they were angry/mad/ticked off etc, I listened intently and asked questions. Sure enough, there it was again. Don't get me wrong, everyone mentioned here was mad, but what they were actually feeling was a loss of control or frustration with the current situation. So then, what is anger?<br />
<br />
According to Dictionary.com:<br />
<i><b>Anger<br />noun</b></i><br />
<i><b>1. a strong feeling of displeasure and belligerence aroused by a wrong; wrath; ire.</b></i><br />
<br />
So I took that definition and broke it down a little.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>First part: A strong feeling of displeasure? The definition of anger is not being pleased? Okay.</li>
<ul>
<li><b><i>Displeasure<br />noun</i></b></li>
<ul>
<li><b><i>1. dissatisfaction, disapproval, or annoyance</i></b></li>
</ul>
</ul>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Second part: ......a feeling of belligerence aroused by a wrong. </li>
<ul>
<li><b><i>Belligerence</i></b><br /><b><i>noun</i></b></li>
<ul>
<li></li>
<li><b><i>1. a warlike or aggressively hostile nature, condition, or attitude.</i></b></li>
<li><b><i>2. an act of carrying on war; warfare.</i></b></li>
</ul>
</ul>
</ul>
<ul><ul>
<li>A strong feeling of not being pleased and is accompanied by a strong feeling of warlike attitude. Oh my! So, what is war then? </li>
<ul>
<li><b><i>War</i></b><b><i>noun</i></b></li>
<ul>
<li><b><i>1. a conflict carried on by force of arms....</i></b></li>
</ul>
</ul>
</ul>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>So, based on all of this, anger could be defined as a strong feeling of dissatisfaction or disapproval accompanied with a warlike or aggressive hostility because of not being pleased. Another way to look at it is: A strong desire to force someone else to do it or see it our way. Wow!! Feeling rejected, abandoned, walked on, dismissed, belittled, unimportant and unheard! </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The solution is then to identify what behavior would be pleasing and realeasing those things that make you feel angry.</li>
</ul>
What happens when you get mad? What do you do about it? I challenge you when you are feeling angry, stop and think about it. Okay, you probably won't think about it at the time, but what about afterwards? Why were you mad? Were you really mad or were you frustrated at something or someone? Is it because you feel you should have control over the situation or person? Did you feel unheard or rejected? Does your opinion really matter more that someone else's? Why isn't that person important enough to you for their opinion to be valued as much as yours? OR, why do you feel so unheard that you must force your opinion on others?<br />
<br />
I've done many sessions on people that wanted to be softer, more gentle, more accomodating, more on purpose with their loved ones. In other words, they were looking for anger management. They found it. How? They identified what was making them feel out of control. Now, did they walk away perfect. Nope! They did walk away able to start knocking down barriers that were stopping them from finding peace and enjoying the people they loved instead of trying to have control. They left knowing it was their own issue and a tool to change it.<br />
<br />
Do you think anger is a real emotion? Or do you think it is just an umbrella word we use to group emotions together and justify our tantrums or desire to control someone else(s)?<br />

This post is not meant as judgement. I had to walk it before I could write it. I actually learned this lesson a few years ago, but only recently was I able to actually put it into words. The first time I realized that I was actually feeling dismissed and rejected when someone didn't see something 'my way' I was appalled at myself! In that moment I realized that getting mad at them didn't make it better, didn't change anything and meant I didn't think they were valued. I stopped and decided to rejoice in their value, which in turn made me feel valued! They felt heard, I felt important. Warlike behavior subsided. Anger vanished. I was forever changed. Not perfect, just changed and a lot less likely to need to force being heard or understood.<br />
<br />
I love what I do and have always been drawn to helping and encouraging others. Offering AFT session gives me an avenue to help others reach their potential and release what's holding them back. In other words, finding more pleasure in life!<br />

You never know who you will be influenced by or who will influence you. My older sister passed away many years ago and I still miss her deeply. I miss her laugh and the amazing way she had to encourage all of those around her. She had such a big personality and an even bigger heart and she loved with so much passion and energy. Although she had about a dozen siblings between her parents multiple marriages, she took the time to keep in touch with all of us and all of our cousins! She would call just to chat and then keep me up to date on everything happening in the family. I admired her greatly. I respected how devoted she was to all of us and how she made it a priority to contact each of us and check in. She was such a positive influence in my life.<br />
<br />
I also learn from those that influence me in other ways. There is the person I looked up to and thought I wanted to emulate, until I spent a great deal of time around them. Whew! I learned quickly and deeply to recognize those attributes in myself that mirrored hers and I began to work on changing them. Although they were a defense mechanism and something I had labeled as me being strong, they were not. They were selfishly driven and unkind. Once I saw them for what they really were in her, I was able to recognize them in me and let them go. It was difficult dealing with the remorse and shame I felt once I saw the behaviors for what they were. Everytime I found myself moving towards that shared behavior I would recall her and how awful it was from the outside. This quickly caused me to choose a different way of responding.<br />
<br />
My point is, we all have positive and negative in our lives. We can learn from both just as equally. It's so easy to see the negative in others while being blinded to it in ourselves. Have you heard the saying, "You are the combination of the five people you spend the most time with." or<br />

Who is in your circle of influence? Are they who you want to be? Do they build you up? Do you support and build them up?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
How do you find people to build you up? First, believe you are worth it. You have amazing potential and gifts to share with those around you. I came across this brief list at <a href="https://dashofwellness.com/5-things-good-friends-do/" target="_blank">Dash of Wellness</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ol>
<li>Good friends are respectful</li>
<li>Good friends return the favor</li>
<li>Good friends avoid beating around the bush</li>
<li>Good friends try to avoid gossip (I would change this one by crossing out try)</li>
<li>Good friends stand up for their friends</li>
</ol>
<br />
I thought this was a great list. Friendship can be very difficult in today's world. We are all so busy and pulled in so many directions. It's been my experience that friendships are work. I make friends easily, but struggle to keep friendships going. It's because I am not one to pick up the phone and call, which is why I respected my sister so much for that simple trait! It came so easily to her! I struggle with it. I don't want to interupt or be a bother. The second reason is, I am actually not very good about sharing me. I feel my struggles are mine and I don't want to burden someone else with them. So, I don't. I've come to realize that to others that might feel like I'm holding back or standoffish. When in reality I'm aching to share, I just never really learned how.<br />

Do you have an area you would like to work on? Do you have something you want to be better at? Do you want stronger relationships, that's a great goal! What one thing would you want to get better at? <a href="http://www.ascentessentials.com/" target="_blank">Ascent Essentials</a> is here for you. Let's chat.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">When I share AFT with someone, it's like I step into myself. What is AFT? It is a 12 step process that uses imagery, guidance from me and strategically placed aroma therapy to help you get from where you are to where you want to be. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Sounds amazing and fun, right? That's because it is! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
This world is so full of hurt. So full of anguish and disappointment. My heart breaks ..... It was a beautiful morning. Sun was shining, the bees were bouncing around the yard. As I typed this the clouds moved in and it began to sprinkle! So perfect.<br />

The object of a person's ambition or effort, an aim or desired result. So, does 'I wish my my marriage was better' qualify as a goal? How about, "I will make more time for my spouse'?<br />
<br />
Have you heard of the SMART system<br />
<b>Specific </b>= What do you want? House, car, job, write a book, stronger marriage, better relationships <br />
<b>Measurable</b> = Can you measure it? Time, dollars, milestones<br />
<b>Attainable</b> = Do you have the resources to achieve it? Time, money, space<br />
<b>Realistic</b> = Can you really reach that goal? I can't sing, so no matter how much I might want to have a goal of opera singer, it will never happen. <br />
<b>Timed</b> = Set a deadline or date it will be achieved by<br />
<br />
I love what informationanthology.net says: "Many people endeavor to reach goals within a finite time by setting deadlines." According to those definitions, a dream exists only in the mind while a goal exists in the mind but is planned and it has a determined deadline. The first step to create a goal is to have a clear vision of your dream.<br />
<br />
Wow. A dream is only in the mind while a goal is planned and has a deadline. If your goal is to be more gentle towards your spouse or children and you think about it and want it, but don't do anything to move towards it or set a deadline to achieve it, then it is simply a dream.<br />
<br />
I want to be a writer, but don't ever do anything towards it. It's a dream.<br />
I want to be a writer and make a goal of writing two new blog posts a week. That's a dream with an action plan! That makes it a goal.<br />
<br />
I love to write about family, scrapbooking, goal setting and encouraging others. I'll write on Monday and Thursday. It's a plan with a deadline.<br />
<br />
Do you have dreams?<br />
Do you have any goals you are working towards? I would love to hear from you.<br />

MY favorite part was her little cards with questions on them. The last card I drew said: <i>What is God asking you to do that you have been ignoring</i>.<br />
<br />
Yikes! The one that came to mind immediately is my desire to write. I have an idea for a small group study, in fact I got it three years ago! I really want to write it. Fear stops me. Fear of rejection, fear of failure, but mostly fear of it being lame like so many of the studies we've done. There's no meat to them because someone might get offended.<br />
<br />
Personally, I love growth and shedding the weight of what no longer serves me. It's one of the things that drew me to <a href="http://www.ascentessentials.com/" target="_blank">AFT (Aroma Freedom Technique</a>)<span id="goog_180723380"></span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/"></a><span id="goog_180723381"></span>. I was invited by a friend at the last minute to attend an introduction. Neither of us knew anything about it. Afterwards I found myself thinking, I want that for everyone I know! I want them to have that amazing experience and find that thing that is stopping them. It was most interesting that what I thought was stopping me, wasn't. The 'stuff' I knew about never even came up. In fact, it was the small stuff.<br />
<br />
My goal was, and is, to become an author. During my first AFT session I said my goal, inhaled the oils and listened to my own body. Whispers from my childhood came forward, but not the ones I expected. In the third grade there was a set of twin girls, Michelle and Monique. One was really mean to me and would ridicule me constantly. She came up! I went to school with her for one year. In the third grade! My 6th grade teacher came up. She was a mean spirited little thing that didn't like my love for big words. I read a lot during those years. Really a lot. As a 6th grader I didn't know why she was so offended, now I realize that she thought I was being a smarty pants and talking over her on purpose. I wasn't. It was my normal vocabulary. I was surrounded by readers and very intellectual people at home, so that's how everyone in my life talked. I also recalled the high school math teacher that told me not to worry about my poor grade. After all, I was just a girl and wouldn't really ever need math.<br />
<br />
As I moved forward through the technique I started getting positive memories that encouraged me. I remembered the teacher that kept my project as an example for future students. My mind brought forward glimpses of me tutoring my peers in college as we finished our computer degree.<br />
<br />
After that first session I felt so empowered and unburdened! I didn't know what to expect from that introduction. I never expected a life changing experience though! I sought out the source of this technique and signed up to become a practitioner. Since then I've led dozens of people through the technique and have been so very blessed to watch them become empowered and unburdened. From the 14 year old getting bullied that realized he was in control to the 80 year old woman that found her voice again and regained her confidence to stand up for herself. They have all been.... oh if that 6th grade teacher could see me now. I can't find a big enough word to encompass how fantastic it has been to experience these sessions and the amazing growth and insight of those I'm working with.<br />
<br />
I want that for everyone. To toss that burden aside and step over the barrier into the life you want.<br />
<br />
Here are some of the goals that people have come to me with:<br />
I am confident and calm in all situations<br />
I release all anger towards my mother<br />
I am strong<br />
I am confident<br />
I love care calls<br />
I am worthy<br />
I am accepted<br />
I love eating healthy<br />
I am playful with my family<br />
I speak encouragingly to those around me<br />
I release my anger<br />
I am a writer<br />
I am a Silver with Young Living Essential Oils<br />
<br />
What is it you want to do and what is stopping you from doing it?<br />

Most days I'm pretty upbeat and take life as it comes. Some days though, some days just stomp on me. Sunday was one of those days. Although the sun was shining, I felt the day was gloomy. My heart was heavy, I was on the verge of tears and just really struggled through the day.<br />
<br />
Did anything happen to cause this heavy reaction? No, not really.<br />
My whole being felt weighted down.<br />
Do you ever feel that way? If so, what do you do to get around it?<br />
<br />
First thing I did was thank God for all of my blessings. Once I get started, it's easy to really get a long list going! We have so much to be thankful for. We have a home with heat, running water, A/C, a washer and dryer, a full fridge and a working stove. We live in a quiet neighborhood, well except for all of the dogs. We have big, bright windows that let the sunshine in and keep the bugs out. We have beds and blankets and clothes and shoes and toilet paper and shampoo and coffee. Several kinds of coffee! So much to be thankful for and listing it out helped, but it didn't go away. What's bringing me down?<br />
<br />
I grabbed my essential oils and diffused Joy and that helped. I put Highest Potential in my diffuser necklace and that helped too. The nagging feeling still hung with me though. More like a shadow than a thunderstorm now, but still ominous.<br />
<br />
Do you ever get days like that? Where you either wake up feeling overwhelmed or it hits you all of a sudden during the day?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
I need to start sharing again. I need to reach out to people. Your stories inspire me! Do you know how much I love hearing where you've been, what you have going on and about your pictures? I love seeing the layouts. I really love it when you need help finding that just right title, poem, or how to journal your event.<br />
<br />
I have two big events going on right now. The first is that I'm working on completing my <a href="http://www.ascentessentials.com/" target="_blank">Aroma Freedom Technique certification</a>. That is the most amazing protocol using aromatherapy and coaching to work through emotional blocks. It goes hand in hand with my <a href="https://www.youngliving.com/vo/#/signup/new-start?sponsorid=2575992&enrollerid=2575992&isocountrycode=US&culture=en-US&type=member" target="_blank">Young Living essential oil </a>business as it uses only Young Living oils and I've seen some really amazing breakthroughs in people! It is so inspiring for me!<br />
<br />
The second is that I have decided to start sharing on here and with my writing and creativity again. I need a community to come alongside and work with me. Is that you? Are you looking to get your photos into albums and want to share or need help? Come join us at https://www.facebook.com/scrapwithtam. I also have the website <a href="http://www.scrapwithme.com/">www.scrapwithme.com</a>, but I'm not sure how to use it. I like that we can all share and encourage each other through FB, so I'm going to put more energy there.<br />
<br />
Please let me know what you think and where you're from. Would a contest help encourage participation? How about a sample of my favorite oil?<br />
<br />
Now, you might be asking, what in the world does anxiety and scrapbooking have in common? When I'm being creative, whether writing or scrapping, I feel joy and my bucket is way to full to let any negativity in. I need to fill my bucket :)<br />

For those that have been following me for a while, you know I developed and branded scrapwithme.com when I was sharing my ideas and layouts with my yahoo group, ScrapbookingClasses in 2007. I enjoyed that so much and it really filled my bucket.<br />
<br />
However, life got crazy and I had to step back from a few things. The group and classes was at the top of the list to let go of. I was sad, but just didn't have the time anymore. Someone else swooped in and grabbed the domain from me. Out of the blue a few weeks ago I thought to check and see where it was at and saw that it would expire and be available on Aug 21 of this year! Guess what I just did? YEP, it's mine again!! I bought the domain back. Now I need to find a FREE webpage authoring software to build the page with. I think I also need to find somewhere to host it. Any suggestions?<br />
<br />
I want to be able to upload my sketches, articles and maybe even videos. Who do you use?<br />
<br />
What would you expect to find on scrapwithme.com ?<br />
<br />
I look forward to hearing from you.<br />

The first one is tomorrow evening. I truly love learning people's stories. I would gladly sit with each one of you and listen and help you journal out the fascinating, painful, beautiful path you've walked.<br />
<br />
Journaling is a huge part of saving our stories. The photos are merely the backup. You are welcome to join my FaceBook group by going to scrapwithme.com (it will take you to the FB page) and ask questions and learn more or just hang out.<br />
<br />
For those that don't know what scrapbooking is, it is the saving of one's photos AND the story behind them. It's really photo journaling. It is not a girly craft, fluff, a waste of time, silly trinket storage or 'crap'-booking. I've seen amazing albums with hunting, fishing, basketball, football and other masculine adventures showcased in them! The albums are about the person and their life's experiences.<br />
<br />
The most important part to know is that this is all about the photo's, the story behind them and the people in them. If you've got that, you are ahead of the game!<br />
<br />
When purchasing scrapbooks, look for quality books with side loading sleeves (pages). If side loading is not available, then top loading is good too. The only reason I prefer the side load is that the completed pages can't fall out.<br />
<br />
Paper should come from someplace you trust. When purchasing from a yard sale or second hand store you should consider that the paper may have been stored somewhere that allowed it to pick up oils (like in a garage) or mold (like in a basement) or even dust. All of those items may cause your photos to deteriorate or even look liked they've melted.<br />
<br />
I love to take advantage of the coupons! I set a budget and then wait for things to either be 50% off or has a coupon to make it that. That way my budget is doubled!<br />
<br />
I rarely use stickers. I never use anything chunky (like bottle caps) in my albums as they will press into the page they are on AND pages before and after. That will leave the imprint in pages and your photos so I avoid them.<br />
<br />
To get started you will need<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Album to hold your finished pages</li>
<li>One paper stack (these are bound slabs of matching, fun paper) and</li>
<li>coordinating solid paper. I do not recommend construction paper. It is not acid and lignen free, fades quickly and just doesn't look very nice in the albums</li>
<li>Double sided sticky tape - the permanent kind. The other kind won't hold your photos on as it's meant to be temporary</li>
<li>Photo trimmer </li>
<ol>
<li>- For cutting borders etc a nice paper cutter (my preference is for the guilotene type) is so much better than trying to guess</li>
</ol>
<li>A calendar or journal to document the events and information - especially when going through old photographs</li>
</ol>
<br />
Fun tools you might want to consider, but are not required so they could be put on a wish list:<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>paper tearing tool </li>
<li>corner rounder</li>
<li>paper piercer</li>
<li>pie shaped ink pad</li>
</ol>
When storing your paper, keep it somewhere out of the elements, away from sunlight, dust, little fingerprints, and smoke. They make folders, drawers and other fairly inexpensive storage solutions.<br />
<br />
Same with storing your photos. Most people don't actually have physical photos anymore, but if you do, follow the paper guidelines. Don't wrap them with a rubber band or store them in baggies. The rubber band warps them and baggies are not photo safe. There are excellent photo storage boxes available and I highly advise them.<br />
<br />
For digital photos, I recomment naming your photos by event and year to make them easier to find later. If your software will let you, be sure to tag them with the imporant information like who, what, when, where and why.<br />
<br />
A photo cloth to wipe the photo off before placing in your album is a good idea. That way anything from your workspace is removed before being place in the sleeve.<br />
<br />
Photos are typically 4x6". To add pop to your photos, find what color is strongest in the picture. Now pick the contrasting color and cut a piece of paper 4.25 x 6.25. Using the double sided tape, adhere the photo to the paper.<br />
<br />
Cut a rectangle 4.5 x 6.5 with a solid, coordinating color and adhere your mounted photo to it. This is called a photo frame. It really helps the photo jump out and gives you the colors for your layout. Use the same papers to make a border and journaling box.<br />
<br />
Be sure to journal, or write about, the event using Who, What, When, Where and Why. The story behind the picture is just as important as the photo. When you are writing, pretend you are writing to a great, great grandchild. What would they want to know? It is highly unlikely they will be able to recognize anyone or anyplace in the photo on their own. You need to tell them.<br />
<br />
Once you have the elements on the page, slide it into the sleeve.<br />
<br />
If there is something you would like to learn, be sure to drop me a note and I'll see what I can do!<br />

For this post, I'm going to call it all scrapbooking. The importance of this is YOUR story! It's not the bling or how fancy it is.<br />
<br />
The secret is to document your life, your fun, your story. That's it! I still love albums. I haven't gone digital, they just aren't the same for me. You need to pick which way works best for you and then go for it.<br />
<br />
Select the photos for the event you want to start with<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>If you have a lot of photos (say for a family reunion or a very long vacation) you might want to fill up one album for that event. </li>
<li>If you have 10 or so photos then you would just want to do a two page layout </li>
</ul>
<br />
Pick your album or digital software.<br />
Pick your paper to match your photos/event<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>For example, if you are going to save your Easter photos and stories you might want to pick Easter related paper. There are some really beautiful papers out there with crosses, lilies, Christian sayings, Easter bunnies, eggs or just pastel colors. Pick what you like, but make sure you get a couple of pieces of each. </li>
</ul>
<br />
Look through all of your photos and determine which ones you are going to use. You DO NOT have to use them all. Remember, a picture is worth 1,000 words! If you can't see grandma's face, how will anyone else ever know who it is? If that picture of little Sally finding the egg in the grass is almost just like the other pic of her finding an egg, pick the best one and use that.<br />
<br />
I love to use what is called color blocking. I cut a piece of cardstock or pattern paper 1/4" larger than my photo and adhere (stick) the photo to the paper. To do this be sure to use a double sided adhesive. I do not recommend glue or a glue stick. Glue tends to warp or wrinkle the photo and paper and glue sticks don't seem to hold.<br />
<br />
Now I place the framed photos on my background paper until I like the arrangement. I add a border and title, The next piece is the most important.<br />
<br />
I write out the story behind the photos. Be sure to include who, what, when, where and why. You will remember possibly for years, the answers to these questions, but others won't know them. Pretend you are writing to the future. Tell them about the event and the people.<br />
<br />
A few hints:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Don't cut your photos into odd shapes when you are beginning. I've been teaching scrapbooking for 20 years and I ask over and over people's greatest regret. It's always that they cut their photos too small or into odd shapes</li>
<li>The second regret is that they used too many stickers or embellishments (decorations) on the pages.</li>
<li>The third one - and actually it's probably even with #1 - is that they wish they would have written more with the photos. More story, more information and more of their own handwriting! </li>
</ul>
<div>
How much would you love to have your grandmother or even great-great grandmothers diary? That's how much future generations would love to see yours. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There you go. Stick the photos and title to your page. Add the journaling (what you write about the photos) and you are done! If you want you can add an embellishment or two to jazz it up a little. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
CONGRATULATIONS!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to reach out to me. I've included a very simple sketch below as inspiration. The squares and rectangles are where you might put a photo or you could use one of the spaces to journal (or write about) your photos. If you don't have smaller photos you could use the smaller spaces for embellishments or for notes.The darkened bar down the left and right side is simply a 2" wide piece of decorative paper as decoration.<br />

This amazing woman is one of the kindest and most sincere people I know. She is gentle and caring and loved being the center of attention today. I'm home now and contemplating the wisdom she has obtained over her life. Ninety is quite the accomplishment. I find myself wanting to spend time with her and learn from her.<br />
<br />
My own grandmothers are gone and neither were very good at sharing or discussing much other than the weather or maybe their garden. I would love to sit with them and hear their childhood stories, what brought them joy and what wisdom they would like to leave for future generations. It's not possible though.<br />
<br />
They didn't leave a diary or journal of any kind. They didn't talk much and both died fairly young. Social media has done a lot of good in that people can communicate quicker and share more. It has also reduced the art of communication to smiley faces and hearts. When was the last time you sat and talked?<br />
<br />
I took the time this past weekend to actually schedule time with some people that I wanted to get to know better. I put away my phone and listened. It was amazing. I'm going to do it more often. It's so easy to get caught up in the world and in the craziness. Work takes up a huge chunk of our day and so does sleep. What do you do with the rest of it? Do your race to the weekend to get the yard done, the garage cleaned, the shopping finished so you are ready for Monday so you can complain all week that you can't wait for Friday?<br />
<br />
Stop.<br />
<br />
Smell the roses.<br />
See the bees, dragonflies, tiny little flowers and the smiles of the children around you.<br />
Take time to make a date with someone you care about.<br />
Take a walk<br />

<br />
<u><i>Drink some Thieves tea :)</i></u><br />
1cup hot water<br />
1 drop Thieves<br />
2 drops orange<br />
1 drop lemon<br />
Honey to taste<br />
<br />
Did your grandmother ever swear by bourbon/whiskey or some other alcohol in tea when sick? Mine did and she was right. A little honey whiskey in this tea and not only do I sleep better but my cough is reduced!<br />
<br />
I use ONLY Young Living essential oils as I'm confident in their purity and rely on them for my family. To learn more, just click here: <a href="http://bit.ly/2gD5eBR">http://bit.ly/2gD5eBR</a><br />
