The purging continues!

This little project has now become someone else's little project. 

I feel a surge of energy with each item that leaves my home!

Onward and upward!

My Dad

My Dad died July 11, 2013.

I miss him so much. It is hard to not have someone in your life that has always been there. 

He wasn't just my dad he was my friend. 

I could call him any time of the night or day. He was always happy to talk with me. 

After we lost our baby, I thought my heart would never heal. When God sent us Grace Anne, it has been like a salve for my soul. I still feel sadness over Lydia, but that empty hole has been somewhat filled.  I don't know how this empty space   will ever be filled. Most likely it won't. 

Strange feeling I had today was like I didn't want much to change so my dad won't miss anything. Weird, I know. 

Still processing all of this. Not sure what else to say. 

Thank You Salvation Army!

Today the SA truck came and took all this stuff away. 

Now, I feel so much more free!

That cradle seemed to have a lot of emotional energy tied to it and I'm not sure why. It is not from my family, but it feels very sentimental to me for some reason. 

We continue to lighten our load and seek God's direction. 

Bye old stuff!  I hope you will bless others as you have blessed us!

Sent packing

Well, hopefully I will be able to say that at some point in the near future. 

What is going to be sent packing? Procrastination!

That is my goal. I don't know why I procrastinate. Fear of making the wrong decision? Laziness? Disliking change?  I'm sure at some point and on some level they are all true. 

I actually forget I even keep this blog. So, I'm really not procrastinating about this. Woohoo!

Today, I cleaned up around my sewing machine. It was getting pretty messy over there. I still need to complete some forms and I won't go to bed tonight until they are done. 

Baby steps.

Invisible accountability. I don't think anyone reads this blog, so I write whatever I want. It is more for me. 

Writing down goals and the accomplishments feels pretty good. 

Update: Forms are done!  Baby Steps!
