Words of wisdom…
Could you add this to the blog?
“Courage does not always roar. Sometimes courage is that quiet little voice that says, I will try again tomorrow.”
Do you ever feel like you just can’t win? Next time you try new ventures and it doesn’t work out, remember this simple phrase. I hope it helps you as much as it did me.

Pie in a Jar
I am dying to try this recipe out SOON! It is such a cute idea and I can use all of my empty mason jars that once contained pickles or jelly. It is so simple and requires very little ingredients. It’s a must try!

Animal Love!
Open Your Hearts, Open Your Homes!
Become a foster home for a homeless animal. I am an animal lover, I would foster them all if I could, but then they might feature me on that animal hoarder show. Remember, they want to be loved too! Even if you can’t foster an animal, you can always give a donation or volunteer your time. Here are some shelters in your area:

Have a Heart
Does it ever seem like we focus too much on ourselves. “If I only had this, I need that or I wish my house looked like her house.” Do we rely too much on the phrase “The grass is always greener on the other side.” Well if we took time to stop focusing on our needs and saw the world as it is, then we would see the lonely, the needy, the tired and the hopeless. Did you ever think that a random act of kindness on your part could completely change a person’s day. I can remember one day at Starbucks when a stranger paid for my coffee before I made it to the window. I didn’t know them but it really lightened my mood. So this month, being the month of love, let’s show our neighbors that we can take the time to care… You never know, it may change your outlook too.
