Lock the Car Doors!

-
Sometimes "bad" things can spark great memories... I went out to the truck this morning to discover it had been broken into. Nothing was taken - but they rummaged through my stuff. We can't tell if I left it unlocked, or if they somehow got into it remotely, pried the door... however they did it it sparked a memory of a time my brother AJ and his family flew to California to visit. I don't remember the year. When he got here he could not remember if he had locked his car at the airport. Since he had ONSTAR - and they had the ability to remotely lock the car he decided to call them... this phone call was HYSTERICAL. Listening to my brother try to explain he was in California and the car was in (New Jersey I think?) - then when the operator agreed to try the remote locking service, she was obviously reading a script because she told my brother to step away from the car! We could hardly contain our laughter. First of all if we were near the car we could lock it ourselves and secondly he just finished explaining how the car was in a completely different state. AJ was one of the funniest people I have ever known. I really miss his laugh. The girls and I laughed again today thinking back! Warmed my heart!

What a day this turned out to be... On Tuesday June 2, a movement with the hashtag - TheShowMustBe Paused went bat SH!T crazy in my opinion.  It was promoted by the music industry to PAUSE ourselves, our music feeds and our MUSIC related activities for a day in support of making changes.  As usual people posted whatever the heck they wanted. with no regard to the true intention of the day. Which, on all accounts is their right...but every post turned into an argument over this or that and the finger pointing - oh for heavens sake.  I saw criticism for people who continued to post, people who think all lives matter, people who claim not to see color...the list goes on and on until it consumed me. Consumed me to the point I feel prosecuted as a white woman of privilege. Quit accusing me of crimes I didn't commit!  so I wrote this:  If I corrected you for using the "wrong hashtag" it was because I care about the cause we are supporting. I wanted it to get the credi...

Moving Forward

I haven't announced to the world that I was let go - until today. Now I can be at peace and move forward. Back in May I placed a huge decision in God's hands. I completely placed my life and the direction it would go at the mercy of HIS WILL... of course I *thought* His Will was safe and secure, but in fact, God has a way of surprising us. In a crazy turn of events my contract as a Teacher with St. Catherine's School was not renewed for the 2019-20 school year. I find myself continuing to Trust God i n ways surprising even myself. I have many talents, and teaching was only 1 of them. God has set a different path before me for now and I look forward to the adventure it brings me. I have accepted a part time position with Apples and Oranges Food Service and will also be working my scrapbooking business again. Both, I am confident, will bring me joy, allow me to spend time with my family, and leave my heart open to hear God's call. Often God shuts a door in our face so...
