Yesterday I was holding Isla while her Mommy got things ready to take her to the doctor for a routine check. She is too beautiful for words. I cradled her and sang softly to her and she smiled! And she smiled, and she smiled, and she made little I love you sounds. She stole my heart and threw away the key!
I wish everyone on earth could experience these moments in life. I know if they did, their world would change, and even if just for a moment, they would feel God's presence.
I can feel angels near when my granddaughters are with me. It is the essence of purity and innocence. Love that has no ending, and trust stronger then the sun shining from the Summer sky.
May God bless your day, and give you the inner feeling that life is too good to be true!

Cookies for Quinn
I am making and baking a thousand cookies for Quinn. They are for his wedding. It was actually a request from Katy when we first learned she and Quinn were getting married. That was in January, and now the wedding date is approaching!! Yesterday I baked 300. Today I will try to beat that record. I miss counted them yesterday and thought I baked 400, so it is my goal for today!
The first thing I do when I wake up is open up my house and turn on my oven. The mornings are cool and the fresh air pours in. After I am finished baking for the day, I close up my house and turn on the air conditioner. My system has worked so far!
I also have committed to one thousand chicken and salmon wraps! As soon as all the cookies are made, I will begin the wraps. I will freeze everything until the wedding.
P.S. All my baking is made with love and joy. I love to bake and create yummy treats for people to enjoy.......so do not feel sorry for me. It is a passion of mine. An addiction!
God bless, xo

The Human Body
The human body is like any other machine. If you put something bad in it, it will not operate like it should. I am a super health freak and have experimented with my body when it comes to what it needs to feel energized and happy.
I bought some canned chicken at the store to make chicken salad. When I got it home I read the ingredients [something I normally do before purchase.] It had "sodium phosphate" in it.
We all know sodium is salt. But the phosphate part is what changes the purity. I did my research and found phosphates are in cleaning agents and in food to help oils from separating. I also learned sodium phosphate is/or was in drugs used to induce bowel movements and a product called Fleet had to recall all the Fleet products because the sodium phosphate was known/or found to cause kidney damage. Of course the levels of sodium phosphate in these products were huge.
I found the only place safe to buy chemical free canned goods in town is "Life Source." They will not sell anything that is not healthy. We might pay a little more, but it is worth it.
I just wish more people would pay attention to what they are buying and eating. I want the people I love to live a long healthy life.
Please watch out for bad chemicals in food products. They cause cancer and make a person's body feel tired and sluggish. They can deplete the body and brain of essential minerals needed for energy and well being. If your liver has to store too many of these bad chemicals they will come out on your skin as moles and tags and red and white bumps. This is how the body gets the stuff out of the blood stream and organs. If it is not able to release the bad stuff in this form, then the poison attacks the good cells and cancer begins to grow.
"You are what you eat."
May God bless you today with all His healthy natural food sources. Pray about it, and try a week of pure food, chemical free. You will feel the difference and never want to go back to feeling tired and unhappy.

ISLA REESE
Yesterday I went to visit Isla and got to hold her for a while. She is beautiful and captures my whole being. Her tiny little self is the most precious array of sweetness and innocence. Perfect in every way.
I can't believe how fortunate I am?!!! Two absolutely beautiful granddaughters.
I "thank God for them everyday."
God's gifts of love are unmeasurable!

My good friend Linny and are headed to Silver Creek Falls today to enjoy a refreshing hike to the Falls.
I can't wait to smell the sweet air of pine forest and hear the rush of water falling.
God bless! xo

Celebrate Life!
Isla is here and more beautiful then I imagined she would be. How precious are my grand-daughters? There are not words to express!!!
Cohen and I have a special bond. The darling age she is right now is sacred. I want to freeze time so she won't change. The way she talks and walks and loves me with all her heart.
Celebrate life every day. Life is a gift.
God bless ,xo

Materialism
My church sermon this morning was on materialism. Worshiping the Gods of Materialism. People become so wrapped-up in what they think they need/'A BIGGER HOUSE, A NEWER CAR, A NEWER COMPUTER, ETC." they forget to be thankful for what they DO have and they stop counting their blessings and thanking God for what He has given them.
These people just become more unhappy to the point where they can't enjoy the things they already have and they stop making the most of what God has blessed them with. Instead of being patient and appreciative, they become complainers who do not accept God's gifts.
I truly believe people need to be THANKFUL for what they have, and good stewards of what they are given financially before God will continue to bless them and give them more.
The woman who takes her tiny little home and makes it a castle for her husband and family is the woman who finds favor in the eyes of The Lord.
Our Father God knows our hearts.
May God bless your thankful heart today, and may you love Him with all your heart and be THANKFUL FOR ALL YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN.

It's a Wonderful Life
I am truly enjoying a wonderful life!
We have SO much celebration going on in our family with our new Isla coming to join us, and the marriage of Katy and Quinn.
We just enjoyed a bridal shower for Katy and now we are waiting for Isla to come into our lives.
I can't wait to hold her in my arms and get to know her. What does her little face look like? What color will her hair be?
I'm really looking forward to spending time alone with Cohen while Mommy and Daddy go to the hospital in the event of Isla being born.
Our beautiful Summer weather is another added bonus. Katy's mom Renata invited my good friend Linda and I and Linda's daughter Brook to hike with her last Sunday at her favorite forest. It was Linda's first hike! The warm weather in the cool of all the trees in the forest made for a perfect hike. I think Linda is now hooked and I can't wait to go with her again!
Life has been busy. Almost three weeks ago I went to Seattle and had a nice visit with Ryder. The city view from the Hotel I stayed at was amazing! I could see the heart of the city and also the bay. At nightfall when the city lit up as well as the ships on the water it was spectacular!!!!
I'm ready to back again. As soon as our little Isla is here and all is well, I will be pack up and go. I miss Ryder SO much. He will be coming to Salem to spend a few days for his brother's wedding and I can't wait.
I have been reading my bible from the beginning and getting to know God's heart again. I call it a refresher course, as I have read through the bible before. Each time I learn more and feel closer to my heavenly Father.
I honestly do not know how non-believers make it in this world? My overall health, heart and well being all comes through knowing our Father God and our Savior Jesus.
Every breath I take, and every thought I think is in sink with God. He is the meditation of my heart. The more I meditate, the more I feel His Holy presence. The warm embrace on my shoulder and the calming feeling only He can give.
It's a wonderful life!
God bless, xo
