It's been awhile

Yes, it has been awhile.  I haven't felt very creative because I was trying to hold it together as my daughter was getting ready to leave for Marine boot camp.  And then she did leave.  Last Tuesday.  It wasn't as awful as I thought it was going to be because she is getting to do something she has wanted to for a looooong time.  I have faith and confidence in the Lord Jesus Christ.  I know that He will watch over her and hear my every prayer on her behalf.  He wakes me up at night sometimes and she pops into my head.  So I pray.  Right then.  I have been writing to her every day.  The things that I would tell her if she were here.  I did the same thing when my son left for Air Force boot camp November 2013.  Wrote him every day.  For 9 weeks!  My baby girl will be gone for 13 weeks.  That's a long time.  !!!  Anyway, I just thought I should touch base and let you know that I am still alive.  I did get her address from her recruiter yesterday so I feel better because she will actually start getting our letters now.  Yay!!

Oola!!

Since January 20, I have been thinking about Oola.  Oola is a state of awesomeness.  It is what happens when you are balanced and growing in the seven areas of life -- Fitness, Finance, Faith, Fun, Friends, Family, and Field.  

We went to see the Oola Guys January 20.  It was great hearing Dr. Dave and Dr. Troy speaking about their journeys in those seven areas.  They inspired me to find balance in all of the seven F's.  

 Look at your seven F's.  Rate yourself from 1 (really struggling) to 10 (perfect).  How do you measure up?  The cool thing is that that is just a place to start.  Every day we can be better.  Every day we can grow.

How are you moving towards a place of Oola??
