I'm doing 16 things
i think it’s not the magical connection you see in movies…its sometimes crazy hard work to love someone well, and we all do it badly at times. but when two people both feel strongly enough to do that hard work for one another, to fail miserably together but persist, to risk their hearts getting hurt, to soak up the good like hot sunshine and survive the ugly…that’s magic, that’s how i know soul mates really do exist.

How I did it
It made me
myself again! 
How I did it: I told the truth. I stood up against all the lies and manipulation. I stuck by myself and my belief in myself at all cost. I focused on what I wanted my kids to learn about standing up against wrong-doing. I read Psalm 37 a lot. Read how I did it…

a vision statement and goal plan for my life? i can’t even come up with a vision statement and goal plan for my dinner. dammit.
do i accept this about myself and move forward as the carefree, largely confused, only occasionaly panicked, spontaneous person that i am? or do i need to grow up and change this? i can’t remember the last time i used so many question marks.
here’s the truth about me…i encourage my six year old NOT to do his homework because it’s awfully boring; the idea of dinner on the table every night at the same hour, while i understand it from a practical standpoint, makes me want to run out into traffic; i have a new idea about what to be when i grow up every week or so and, well, i technically grew up about 15 years ago. the ugly truth, there it is, filed properly under this very proper sounding goal.
