- I am an amazing person or so I've been told over and over again! haha I've come to the realization that I love life! I really and truly love the feeling of someone returning a smile and laughing with me. I am a little conceited but only because if I'm not my number 1 fan who can be??

Valentine's Day 2012
A day that is filled with love. I enjoy seeing people taking the time to express their love. I went into Walmart and saw men and women picking up the last minute gifts. Slim pickings, but they were making it work. Sunshine, blue skies, airplanes flying, birds singing, children smiling. In Louisiana, we are preparing for Mardi Gras-a total commitment to fun times. Sigh-gotta love life!
We know this day comes every year. Maybe Americans have really come to the point that we truly feel like we celebrate like this every day. What a concept!
My kids in my classroom certainly celebrate every day. They still needed 20 reminders to stay quiet. Inside recess because of the rain caused a lot of restlessness. Candy for the teacher. Games for the kids. Great times!! Fundraiser ducks cause triple excitement. I'm taking a hint from my kids-live your life everyday. Cry if you have to. Dance if you want to. Sleep when you are tired. Crave the playtime in your life!
Happy Valentine's Day. This has been the best one I've had in years. God is the best valentine ever. A 24 hour listening ear. An abundance of love on continuous stream. No one compares. I'm truly in love with my Jehovah. He continues to amaze me beyond my imagination.
I am challenging myself to walk beside Him and follow Jesus for 1000 days. I am currently on day 938 counting down. I can only imagine where we will go next.
May you find the love you've always desired. Peace and Joy comes pretty close behind.

November/December Holiday Blur
I hope this ....is your moment of thankfulness.
Your heart is surrounded by so much love at these times, small moments of weakness you begin to give more and more of yourself.
I find it hard to believe this year has flown as quickly as it has. But then every year, month, week, and day I say that. Time...the only constant thing in history. I hope you found the strength to smile when you didn't know you could. I hope that this year made you come to love yourself a whole lot more.
Love is the greatest gift of all. Make yourself proud and start your new year's resolution early...like NOW... and put them in place BEFORE the new year begins. You will be much happier and less stressed about sticking to it throughout the year. Make them realistic. Make them about yourself on the inside and not on the outside just for one year.
PUSH the FROG...I just only recently finally understand what this meant in my life.
Pray until something happens
means praying without ceasing for the things that are of upmost importance to your existance
to help evolve
to assist and continually become fluid in decisions
Fully relying on God
wow...FULLY without doubt...no strings attached...letting go and let God....Can you imagine the thoughts of God? He has your thoughts, my thoughts, all the people you know's thoughts, and so on and so on...his vocabulary is like Webster's, but then He created Webster...LOL
The hardest thing to do in committed daily walks of faith is to Trust. We don't see Him yet we see Him EVERYWHERE. We don't hear him, yet we changed our direction and escaped injury. We couldn't even begin to fathom the joy He brings to the lives of those who just trust. We trust the bank to hold our money, but then it's not really mine is it? We trust our car manufacturer workers to give 100% daily, but that's an impossible task. Yet, we refuse to even try.
In America, we are the most privileged. We have a HUGE heart as a country....but we aren't taking care of our children or any of our basic needs properly. We need to start listening to the people who are writing this country's history and learn from their wisdom. Generations of thought processes and generations of characters are dying slowly. Some are good deaths....most are not. How do you keep that from happening? Eating the elephant one bite at time. A journey begins with a single step. You decide....
The POINT: So every excuse you've given Him/yourself for not completing a task has already been used over and over times infinity. Think my dog ate my homework. BTW, Kids don't use that one anymore. They now say my mom didn't put it in my backpack. *sigh* Gotta get those kids independent... :)
Love your life. I know I do.

September Love
September is almost over and boy was it busy!!! I hope all is well with you. Please remember to wash your hands properly and continously because that flu is attacking EVERYONE and quickly. I am praying that it doesn't come anywhere near you.
I hope you found some things that you love about yourself from last month and you are telling all those people in your circle how wonderful you are and the things you love about them!
Spend the last few days of September telling yourself All is well. Remember that God loves you and all that you represent for Him. Nothing happens by chance. :)
Return to the music of your childhood and your happiest adulthood. Find that concert that makes your heart sing and share it with someone in your circle. Weed out the people that don't allow you to be yourself and love yourself more and more and always remember God is love.
In the book of Matthew, Jesus gives his sermon on the Mount about how you should live your life. Did you know that speech only took 20 minutes? Can you believe that? My very educated friends commented that had to be God's son. :) Comedy, eh? The golden rule is actually Jesus' words of Do unto others as you would want others to do unto you. Press the Staples' EASY button Often and call it giving thanks to your creator!

Use your dreams to help you identify the events in your life. Take care of yourself. Spiritually, Mentally, Physically, Personally, Professionally, etc. There is no other like you and you are God's greatest creation. Treat yourself as such.
See you in October.
Smooches!!

August has no holidays...
Quotes for us to Begin:
Man is the only animal that laughs and weeps, for he is the only animal that is struck with the difference between what things are and what they ought to be. - William Hazlitt
Speak when you are angry--and you will make the best speech you'll ever regret.
August is special. I've always wondered why August has been chosen the month of no holidays that many people remember. My calendar remains blank with preprinted material. But as a teacher, August is a month of new beginnings and busyness. I've had the most WONDERFUL summer. It was such a reflective one, that I appreciated every day and yet I still had moments of panic and worry.
How is it that a bird can fly all day and not worry about anything? I mean nothing can possibly be that easy...I find myself being that bird more and more frequently. And you know what it's not so bad....
MYTH ALERT: You don't have to think about something all the time just because you have a brain. I'm surprised about that too. Also...we actually use way more than the 20% percent that has been rumored.
So in August, you will need to prioritize the priorities in your life. What is at the center of your world? My Pastor said ,"You know what's at the center of your focus/time is when y0u look at your checkbook and whoever you write the biggest check to, that's your center."
Wowee...well, car payment and rent are the winners for me.
Jones Loflin's Juggling Elephants is an excellent book that talks about our life as a 3 ring circus. He gives wonderful tips on how to survive the curtain call of life considering you are the Ringmaster. Some tips include: "The key to the success of the circus is having quality acts in all three rings."
"The ringmaster has the greatest impact on the success of the circus" "What have you done to improve your performance in one or more of your rings?" Finally, "People sometimes need to laugh, relax, and not take themselves so seriously."
Madisyn Taylor's Daily Om gives us our task for this month.
Materials: You, a piece of paper, pen or pencil
Time: However quickly you can write 5 things.
Her title: Listing Magnificence: Five Things I like About Myself
Step One: Write down at least five things you like about yourself. *NO MODESTY*
Include more than physical attributes on your list. Need help?: Call to mind 5 things you do not like about yourself and find something about these traits that you can like.
Step Two: Continue this process for a week. Thinking of a new set of 5 things that you like about yourself.
Step Three: At the End of the week, read the list aloud to yourself while standing in front of a mirror. *Remember to RELAX*
Step Four: From ARLECIA: Allow the smiles to arrive.
Since we are on the inside looking out at the world we forget to remember that we are phenomenal! Remember love radiates from within!!
Make August the month you make yourself your best companion and supporter, period.
To excel in anything, you must recognize the Excellency in everyone, including yourself.~Arlecia P. Hill
PUSH the FROG by following the 10 commandments as much as possible for the month of August. Some of them should be pretty easy.....others...well do your best! :) I BELIEVE in you!
The 10 Commandments - God's Revelation in the Old Testament
The 10 Commandments are found in the Bible's Old Testament at Exodus, Chapter 20. They were given directly by God to the people of Israel at Mount Sinai after He had delivered them from slavery in Egypt: "And God spoke all these words, saying: 'I am the LORD your God…
ONE: 'You shall have no other gods before Me.'
TWO: 'You shall not make for yourself a carved image--any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.'
THREE: 'You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.'
FOUR: 'Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.'
FIVE: 'Honor your father and your mother.'
SIX: 'You shall not murder.'
SEVEN: 'You shall not commit adultery.'
EIGHT: 'You shall not steal.'
NINE: 'You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.'
TEN: 'You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's.'
