Today is a good Day!!


Busy living in Girl World, just being girly-girls.  We are kindred spirits to loving life with ribbons, bows, and lace. 


Our attitude toward life determines life's attitude towards us



A smile from God in our Arizona skies. :)


Well, today has been an incredible day.  I started my day out talking with Monica, on the phone, it's so nice to hear her voice and know that she has been given another chance to do right.  I have faith in her and I know she is trying hard.  I wrote a letter of encouragment to Miss Victoria, and she told me that it was too long, that it took her a long time to read it.  Jennifer just skips in and out of the house, usually with one of her plastics, uhh I mean girlfriends, (lol :p) getting done what she has to and then it's "Mom, we are walking to the yogurt store, ok?"  I ask her, did you get your room cleaned?" She replies, "yes and I started the dishwasher too, so we're leaving."  I tell her to be safe and she replies with "I love you, bye."

I have to laugh for a moment, as I think of each time one of the girls make a remark of anything being too hard or too long, my husband, Eric, sings to the tune of Crazy by Patsy Cline, "Lazy"  LOL  I don't know, maybe not that funny, you'd have to be there to get the full effect of the the girls rolling their eyes, as they pretend to ignore him. :)  Poor Eric, he lives in girl world and puts up with a lot from all of us.  I guess we can let him have his little snyde remarks as he sits in the corner, doing whatever it is he does on the computer or in the garage.  He gets enough guy time while he's out 5 days a week driving that big truck, and we do let him bar-b-que once in a while, what is it with guys and bar-b-ques?  I'll never get it. *Shrugs Shoulders*   

Monica is doing well since being released from jail.  She is working to maintain her sobriety and is checking into a Christian Rehab Center today.  She will be on lock-down for two weeks; however she will be getting all the drug treatment and Christian counseling she needs to rebuild a healthy lifestyle.

To Monica:  My prayers and thoughts are with you my dear sweet Monica, as I pray to the good Lord to bless you with courage and strength to walk this journey of sobriety into recovery.  I love you and I hope that you find the peace you need, with God, to make it through this challenging beginning of finding that inner girly-girl that has what it takes to be beautiful and free. :)  

I know that Monica will snap out of this irresponsible state she has ended up in very soon, as her attitude has changed so much.  She is different this time, and I can't believe how grown-up she sounds, all of the sudden.  I just know that once she completes all the challenges of walking completely away from the poor choices she has made she will be a strong healthy woman, ready to learn the value in connecting her inner girl with her choices to do right.


My daughter, Victoria, is 17 and she is in such a hurry to find a purpose for her life, and I am fighting myself from becoming too controlling and yet, doing all that I can to stay in constant communication with her.  I wrote her a letter today and conveyed to her what I have learned that God wants from us.  I told her that we are daughters of an Almighty God and with that privilidge comes responisibility.  We are responsible to be true to God and to ourselves by organizing our lives to be real and honest with who we are.  We are females, women and girls that deserve to be respected and treated as princesses.  One thing in life is that we can't be a princess if we run around playing in the gutter.

When we truly expose our inner girl we find that we are nothing like men.  Men are wonderful creations of God and from the man's rib we, women, are created.  So close to a man's heart was not a mistake in God's design, nor was it a mistake that we were taken from the weakest area of the man's body.  We are suppoed to be tender and soft, and we belong safely protected at a man's side, under his arm.  Finding that special softness inside of our girly attitudes and characteristics is the one thing that most real men love about us.  How cute is it, when you see a little girl, so girly and pretty, it's the ultimate cute, huh?  I believe that men are attracted to the inner beauty that comes through a woman's sophistocated way of keeping her inner girl in control, yet playful. :) 

My youngest daughter is Jennifer, my baby, yeah we all know, the true spoiled one...lol  Jennifer is very much a girly girl by nature, like me, her mother.  We just like that girly kinda stuff that makes us feel pretty and look pretty.  She reminds me so much of myself when I was younger.  We just want to stay as invisable as we can to those that would judge us for our girly playful attitudes, and now that I am older, I have to ask, why?  Why are we all so afraid of what others would think?  I like who I am and I have hidden myself behind a mask for too many years, and I am not settling for acting or being the idea of someone else's thought of who I am, anymore.  I encourage Jennifer to be as girly as she can be, and to find that balance of connecting her inner girl with her responsibilities in life.  Jennifer is 14, and this concept has not reached it's level of maturity in her, yet; however I am confident it will, as she grows and finds the value of keeping her inner girl healthy and maintained.

As for me, I'm just keeping busy loving my daughters, working on my Paralegal business, and my venture into Avon sales to help Victoria learn how to be responsible in earning the funds for her driving expenses, since she has this insatiable need to drive her car all over the place, go figure? I guess we all did the same thing when we got our first car, but gas prices back then weren't as high as they are today. :)

So, as I continue to work through making my attitude what it needs to be to keep me feeling and looking pretty.  Laughter is the best medicine, and so I need to call a friend or watch a good comedy to have my good laugh for the day.

Have a great evening and remember to keep seeking to connect to your inner girl and find the innocense that makes you happy and at peace with God, your family, friends, and most importantly yourself. :)  Until tomorrow, take care and be happy!
