I went to bed a while ago but I was having bad back spasms so I got back up to take a muscle relaxant and wait for it to kick in. (This could be a VERY funny post with horrendous spelling and grammar by the time we get to the end! No promises though. I usually handle the meds pretty well.) So … since I am awake anyway … I decided to go ahead and write my Friday Fragment post! First a couple of referrals: I’ve entered for a Mother’s Day Birthstone Necklace Giveaway at http://wp.me/p97XK-3VM from @glockets! I had never heard of Glockets before tonight. Now I want one! They’re a glass locket, shaped in a heart or a circle, that you can put birthstones, locks of baby hair, any tiny thing that’s precious to you, in the locket! Is that not the sweetest thing? I am so hoping I win one! But you can enter too! Just run right on over to meet Loni, at The Writing Canvas. Tell her [...]

Identity

Who am I? I struggle, still, at 53, to figure that out! The teenage girl, who thought she was fat even though she wasn’t, who battled acne scars on the outside and more painful scars on the inside, lives on! The 15-year-old who wandered deep into the woods and poured her hopes and fears out on the sun warmed boards of a wooden footbridge over a babbling brook … still hopes, still fears. The 17-year-old who sat under the Mexican moon, gazing at the stars, asking God if He was really there, she has learned that He is but her insecurities fight on. I am not who I was. Not exactly … I am so much more! I am Beth, daughter of John and Sue, sister of Chip and Kim, wife of Bert, mother of Dirk, Erica, Naomi, Josiah, Oma to Joshua, Leleyna, Drake, Abbie, Mallory, and Jaden. I am a friend to many but life taught me young to hold friendships lightly lest they vanish and leave me hurt. It is probably [...]

I am trying something new in an effort to force myself back into the photography habit and joining the #photoaday meme by @fatmumslim and also linking up with Barbie of A Fresh Brewed Life. My sweet cat, Tigger, sleeping peacefully in front of the office window. My son Josiah, on Mount Everest, in Nepal (2011) Kind of self-explanatory, I suppose. LOL. I really do enjoy the art journaling journey that I’m on … even if I’m not the most creative (visually) person on earth! Okay … I didn’t take this photo, or the ones of Josiah, but they work for the theme, go with me here! My beautiful boy … again! Josiah has the biggest heart of anyone I know and he truly desires to follow God’s will, be more like Jesus daily and love people! I’m a proud mama! LOVE! smart phone, iPad, computer, TV … any questions? please forgive the obvious [...]
