Quote: Life
We must be willing to get rid of the life we’ve planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.
I always thought that if you prepare and plan really well, things will work out for you in the end. One of my favorite quotes for soo long has been “Prepare, and be amazed.” Now I’m not so sure. What do you think?

Family friend loses house and father in fire
I hope this email finds you well. Forgive me for getting this message through more than one platform. I am calling on my social network to help me with a cause close to my heart.
My daughters best friend lost his father and his house last night to a fire in Pearland, TX. His mother had already left the family when he was an infant so he has no parents. He is a great, hard working kid and I am so sorry for his loss. Danielle has already collected $150 from my son’s daycare just by telling the story this afternoon. We have received a few restaurant gift cards as well. Danielle has even started talking to neighbors to see if anyone can help. I am so proud of her.
Randy, who is 16, his grandmother, and brother now have nothing. His grandmother is elderly and handicapped and Randy is her primary care giver.
I am trying to collect money for the family so they can buy much needed items like clothes, bedding, groceries, school supplies and other necessities. They are staying with a family member for the time being and have shelter.

Gratitude
If only prayer you say in your whole life is “Thank You,” that would suffice.
Thank you for the air I breathe, the people I know the, knowledge I have, the food I eat, the shelter I am protected by.
Thank you for my parents, sisters, husband and kids.
Thank you for my shoes and clothing.
Thank you for my mind, no matter how screwed up I think it is.
Thank you for quiet,
thank you for peace,
thank you for joy,
thank you for rest,
thank you for time,
thank you for darkness,
thank you for community,
thank you for the truth.
I get up….
“I get up. I walk. I fall down. Meanwhile, I keep dancing.”
