There'...Oh Rachael, I love you my sweet friend. There's nothing quite like the loss of what might have been. I am thankful that you can find peace and comfort in your faith. I've been told that the babies that I have lost are still mine, and that I will get a chance to raise them, teach them, and know them in the life to come. I'm not exactly sure how that all works, but it's a nice thought: to think that they will still be part of your eternal family. <br /><br />I think it is important to let yourself feel sad. You need to mourn your loss - and then go forward in faith; trusting in the Lord. Like it says in Isaiah our ways are not the Lord's ways: he has a higher plan. It can be so frustrating at times to not know what his plan for us is, but that is where faith and trust come in. You're an awesome lady!! <br /><br />https://www.lds.org/scriptures/ot/isa/55.8,9?lang=eng#7Carannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02942020497675908407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-783237695649670921.post-45050909415450209842014-10-17T08:14:37.479-06:002014-10-17T08:14:37.479-06:00I love this post and couldn't agree more!

Love this line "when things didn't go according to my plan, the Lord's plan unfolded so beautifully and was so much better than mine." A double amen to that and to your faith. Lots of love.

Glad I'm not in charge of the universe OR my plans for my life because I'm just not sure I wouldn't screw it up. :) Funny though, I'm sort of the opposite...when things are GOOD I think "this can't be real, something bad's around the corner" and just wait for the other shoe to drop (and it usually does:). Your way of thinking sounds better.Celestehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06456491707578833830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-783237695649670921.post-86116339300808935902014-02-06T04:06:07.737-07:002014-02-06T04:06:07.737-07:00Don't feel bad - this is your little space, an...Don't feel bad - this is your little space, and life is more important than a blog. Plus, you want your space to be a fun and creative outlet, not something you feel is a chore. Sometimes I take breaks from blogging (I basically took a 2-month break during the holidays) just because you need to sometimes.

But take all of my opinions (and just about anyone else's) with a grain of salt, as one of the most worthwhile aspects of the system is self discovery - you are the one most likely to recognize accurately what type you are.

Dave is completely skeptical and wants nothing to do with it himself, but he was supportive in letting me do it. :) I'm no expert, but I wouldn't be surprised if type 2 were your dominant or secondary. The free course comes to your inbox daily for a week I think, and the videos are about ten minutes long if memory serves. So initially it doesn't have to be very time-consuming.Raree (RAH-ree)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15369660765312878949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-783237695649670921.post-3565411048073824752013-11-18T16:27:49.267-07:002013-11-18T16:27:49.267-07:00I was at my brother Gavin's house a week or so...I was at my brother Gavin's house a week or so ago and my awesome sister-in-law was raving about "Dressing Your Truth" to her sister. I've always admired Callie's sense of style but she has been extra cute lately. She chopped her hair way short and got herself a bunch of new outfits and it was all her way of 'dressing her truth.' <br />I was talking to Gavin while Callie and Mylie were conversing and my brother confided that during his extended hospital stay he watched a lot of the videos with his wife. "It's actually pretty cool." he said. He pegged me as a type 2 but I have yet to do the personality profiling for myself. (One of those things on my 'to do list' that I really should get done.)Carannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02942020497675908407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-783237695649670921.post-79315912651845179642013-11-05T12:44:39.718-07:002013-11-05T12:44:39.718-07:00I just might join you in this effort!

I totally could have written this, for as closely as these words have come from my mouth, too. Thank you for encouraging me to, once again, resolve to not waste so much time online. I try to do a quick check of facebook in the morning and then close that tab until the evening. That way, when I do need to "look something up really fast", throughout the day, I don't get as lost as easily in cyberspace. Love the honesty.

I have had a rule for myself to get on the internet only when me kids are sleeping (ie. nap time and after they are in bed) and I stick to that pretty well. But these are also the only times I have when they are not around so I should be doing other things. (Like cleaning, scripture study, keeping a journal... any number of things really.) <br />I guess we all need to find our own balance and life. Good luck finding yours.

I've known for a long time that I looked good in pink, I just didn't want to wear it b/c it was 'girly'. I guess now I'm embracing the girly in a way that's true for me. :) Sometime I'll post about the program.
