4.)meditate on healing my body and hope for plenty of laughter and pay close attention to nature to remind me to live in the moment
Morning Diana...Homework is good...
1) I enjoyed being involved with my family and being an attentive mother & wife, I enjoyed my son's baseball game and all the 12 year old boys having so much fun, I enjoyed watching my daughter go to her 1st prom, I enjoyed going to the lake just to sit with my husband and watch the kids & the 2 lab's swim for hours...
2) I faced the challange of going through the emotions of my friends death and attending the memorial service and consoling her family without numbing to do so...I faced the disappointment of birthday night and getting my 9 month "chip" and my sponsor calling before the meeting saying she couldn't make it to give it to me...
3) I will pray and ask my HP, God for guidance in all my challanges, I will face myself honestly and make necessary changes to keep my sobriety first and the most important, I will make amends when needed, I will love my children and husband unconditionally
4) I will hope/pray/meditate for the strength I need to work on my 4th step, I will pray for acceptance, I will pray for God to help me do the next right thing, I will hope for the best in all situations I am faced with and I will meditate and pray for peace and serenity on a daily basis....
Thanks for the homework, Diana....I guess I needed this as I feel better now that I wrote this out and I hope you have a blessed week...
xoxo

edit to say, I hope I didn't offend you with my giggle post, Stacey, I googled the fourth step and I am concerned I crossed a boundary. My intentions were good.
Congratulations on 9 months !!!!! That is awesome !
Love and Light,
Diana

got it will write back shortly:)
we must add capes to our revolution... it's getting long... but edna in 'the incrediables' says "NO CAPES!" she insists because they get caught on things and into things and she feels it compromises the saftey of the superhero. hmmm but in our case... i think it's okay. you think so too? i feel like the cape helps me..:) it sure did yesterday and today. okay capes!

No rush on the reply, Jo, get some sleep. Capes it is ! You do make me laugh, girl ! We really should compile a list for the lurkers. As hippinerd would say, whatever works....

I LOVE bergamot, I urge you to go on a sniff trip somewhere in that fine city there's got to be an aromatherapy shop.....:-) of course there's always the bakery scent too, but you catch my drift.
Thank you to the mods post for that, I am really big on scents....another elephant thing ! LOL
I used lavender on my son and my husband when they had an earache, it worked !
I will let you know how it goes, the tour guide that brought me to India sells essential oils and I'm going to see him on wednesday. I really would like to get off the pills and go holistic, the latest side-effect....craaaazy...my foot buzzes or my hand....it's like my cell phone is attached to it and on vibrate....it is very bizarre. I shared this with my hubby earlier.....my husband still loves me, no matter how weird I get, isn't that sweet ?
Night night,
D

Oh I loooove sage....the scent, the taste, I just burned it too, my son picked it out at the expo, he wanted to learn how to "smudge". He is an old soul, that one. :-)
Doesn't surprise me....our emails.... ;-)
I've done 2 and half hours on the treadmill this week whoohoo ! Love it, love the ipod, my hubby put Ozzy and Iron maiden and that song Godzilla on it. Fun to listen to that old headbanging stuff...(ww says with neck problems 20 years later).
Sigh. Kinda embarassing....but hey "Faeries Wear Boots" works well when walking at a good clip.
Tomorrows the big day...just read your email before I came here, so I'll go respond now...

Morning Ladies...
My sponsor asked me the other day "what are you going to do for you today?"
So, as Friday is upon us and the weekend is close, I just wanted to share and ask each of you to do something nice for yourselves this weekend and on Monday, we can share what we did for ourselves....
Much love,
Stacey

Count me in too ; )
I'll be there !
Edited Monday morning :
I went to an angel seminar in the city north of us. I brought my 20 year old and my 16 year old. I feel blessed that they were open to attending this with me and that they both got something out of the experience.
Namaste,
Diana
