What is Love?
I've heard it said that love isn't just a noun, it's also a verb. That is so true.
It's easy to say I love you to someone but it may be hard to show that love.
When you say I love you to someone, do you just say it in passing? Mean it? Prove it?
I know I'm probably stepping on toes but this has been on my heart for a while.
When someone feels unloved they deal with a lot of different emotions at one time. Indifference is the same as not loving someone to me.
Love is a choice. You can choose to show love or choose to show dislike. Whichever you choose can make or break someone's day.
I just hope that everyday I am able to show my husband and my children that I love them and not just say it to them.

Crazy life
The start if this school year has been a whirlwind.
Alexis got a job right before summer ended and is now juggling school, homework and work.
Autumn wanted to get back into tumbling so she's prepared for high school cheerleading. And also wanted to take a contemporary dance class. And now she's helping teach a dance class too.
My girls like to keep me busy (which I normally don't mind). But there was a lot going on the first few weeks that we are trying to get back into routine for school.
I love that my kids have different interests and are involved in more than just sitting at home playing video games. Alexis is in drama at school and is a wonderful actress. I'm looking forward to watching her in the plays at school. And looking forward to Autumn's recital at the end of the year.
Just a little taste of the craziness that has become my life this month. Hopefully it will slow down soon. :-)

Respect
What is respect?
We are taught from a young age to respect our elders, parents, friends, belongings, etc. But what do you do when you get disrespected all the time?
Should you be disrespected for what you wear? How young you look?
I have been dealing with people disrespecting me because of my age for as long as I can remember. It's tough being a young mom as it is and being told what I should wear and how I should raise my kids bothers me. I thought by now in my life that people would see me as a peer not a child that they have to talk down to.
My feeling with respect is: you give respect to earn respect. It's hard to show respect to someone who treats you horrible or indifferent. I know that you're supposed to treat people the way you want to be treated but that is a hard thing to do.
This is one thing in my life that I need to work on.
