Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge

-


It is quite MAGICAL to experience a new Disney land. So very blessed to have 44 days left of these passes! Cars Land was amazing when it opened, don't get me wrong - but walking into Galaxy's Edge was like no other. Even though it is based on the "Newer" Star Wars characters, there was just the look and enough classic Star Wars mixed in for my Generation. Cars Land was for kids. Star Wars Land was for me. 

 Douglas built his own light saber. The entire experience was incredible. Of course I couldn't stop thinking of my brother AJ and how much he would have loved it. I found myself choking on tears more than once. The smile on Douglas' face lit up the room. When we were done, in his dry tone he said - "okay, childhood complete".  It was perfect in a way I could never accurately describe. Douglas paid for it himself. Pride, accomplishment, and simple childhood fun all wrapped into one. Disney Magic at it's best. Thanks Walt.

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.

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...
