Showing just Enough

Hello Everyone...

     I had a conversation with my 18 year old daughter. She said, "why are people so rude with no manners these days." "I was raised to help if someone is struggling, to assist if someone needs help, and to provide any kind of generosity." I sent her to the grocery store and she was struggling with her bag and everyone just watched her trying to hold her bag and opening the door. I have been teaching my son. He's only 12 but he does get someone's door or just showing kindness. It really isn't hard to be kind. I am glad I have changed a lot to be better and stand as a role model for my children and family. I understand some people may get it twisted and take my kindness for weak or naive, but I am 43 years old. I have seen a few things in my life. The world isn't pretty. I get that. I am just saying if you're with your family or loved ones, be kind. You all together are as one. Like that saying goes the more the merrier. I just feel there is a lot of other things we can work on or make better. I am writing this book to send a message.  In hopes you all can read and realize there is a life that was almost perfect. I am enjoying every page I write. It's not quick, but I am writing and I love it. It makes me go to a place away from this place called life. And I hope I keep you reading. I am so excited about finishing. I have so many other ideas for books also. Keeping your interest is my main priority. I still have my photography going on and my designing clothes and also my weaving. So my plate is very full. Very anxious to show you all everything. There isn't enough time in the day to do all that. I try to open the same doors for my children. I don't stress them to do what I want them to do. As I was pressured a lot growing up. They wanted me to be something I had no interest in. I really don't like people rushing me. So that's one of the reasons I moved away from home for a little bit. Came back and same thing and left again. I think I did that may 5 times. Finally they stopped and left me alone. I'm sure by that time there was no need. I'm assuming. But that isn't what I want to do to my children. Anything they do as long as it makes them happy and they make a living doing it, I am happy with. So I look at it as I am at this age and I finally make a step in the directions of my dreams and I am happy. I open a lot of doors for them. And I'm sure they found some doors themselves also. And I want to be an example on what they should do or shouldn't do. I am here to guide them to be successful and happy. There was a time when I thought I was too old to even think of starting anything or trying to do what I was passionate about. But I has a positive influence that changed my mind. And she is still teaching me more everyday. She is a brilliant woman. I miss her a lot. I only want the best for everyone. I hope you all enjoyed this Sunday blog. A lot of Love and Blessings to you all.
