I haven’t
blogged in a bazillion years.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
And, I’m not
sure…</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
if I will after this post, </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
for a bazillion more.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
But, I’m up
in the wee-hours of the morning.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
2:34 a.m. to
be exact.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
And I was
just thinking, as I hear a couple of the kids’ snoring.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Me, typing
away on the laptop, in bed.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

truly blessed.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Some days,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
I take for granted all the wonderful people I have in my life.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
I try not
to,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
but, it does
happen.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

I post
usually, at least a few photos daily.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Unless, of
course, we are traveling,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
or camping.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
It has been
about a year since I wrote my last blog post.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
I think
about blogging a lot, surprisingly.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
I have
things to blog about, photos to show the world…</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
But I never
quite get it done.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<o:p><br /></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Being a busy
mom of three,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
and another
little one on the way,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
this is
probably a goofy time to get going again.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
But it just
seems that if I don’t start today,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Another year
will slip by.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
And I will
forget things that I wanted to remember.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<o:p><br /></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Or be able
to help someone because of my writing,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
or photography,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
simply have
a better day. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; tab-stops: 53.55pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; tab-stops: 53.55pt;">
<o:p><br /></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
So here goes…</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<o:p><br /></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
I plan to
start blogging on a “regular” basis,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
whatever that
means??</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
I am not
sure yet.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
I have yet
to determine if that will be:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
once a week,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
a few times
a week,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
or daily.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
But I WILL
blog more often.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>

Elijah Rainbow Fisher-Donations/Auctions<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
This one is
a tough one to write.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
But I would
like to get the ball rolling for a family in need.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
A sweet, 6-month-old
baby boy died Saturday.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Elijah
Rainbow Fisher.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
The exact
details of his death are not known at this time.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
I am a mom
and I feel called by God to help the Fisher family.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
I only knew
Lauren, Elijah’s mother, briefly through reading her blog (which is currently
down) “Sparkling Adventures”.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
She is an
amazing mom to know through blogland.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
And has
inspired me along my path in life.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Today, I’m
celebrating the day <a href="http://briobridge.blogspot.com/search?q=diego"> my own nephew</a> entered heaven.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
June 26,
2004</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
He died at
the tender age of 8, of natural causes.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
8 years
later . . . </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
I am in a
place to help.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
God is so smart
(love this new quote from a friend).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Today, I
would like to help relieve any financial burden for the Fishers.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
First, you can
donate.</div>
<br />
<center><a href="http://www.mycause.com.au/mycause/raise_money/fundraise.php?id=52406" target="_blank"><img a="" src="http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb275/corridorz/elijahrainbowfund.jpg" /></a></center><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Second, an auction would be amazing to help raise funds.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
I need your
help.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
If you are
willing to donate an item/s (art, crafts, services, etc.) and post them on your
blog, that would be awesome!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
In that
post, list what country you are in and if you are willing to ship
overseas or not.<br />
Also, put somewhere in the post that the winner will need to donate the final amount <a href="http://www.mycause.com.au/mycause/raise_money/fundraise.php?id=52406"> HERE</a>, along with their name.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Make sure to
list when you will end your auction as well.<br />
Please confirm that the winner has indeed donated the amount before promptly shipping the package out.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
If you do
not have a blog, but would like to donate item/s, I will be posting some items
to auction off here as well.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Thanks so
much for your help in advance!</div>

<br />
Goodwill visit.<br />
It has been a loooooong time.<br />
Cute orange polka dotted pumpkins.<br />
Kicking myself now for not buying them.<br />
<br />

<br />
In the dressing room.<br />
At Goodwill.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Went to my favorite grocery store EVER, Fareway.<br />
Love the big spider in the pumpkin display.<br />
<br />

Too bad.<br />
I'm an ISU/Iowa State fan.<br />
But, I'm sure Iowa Hawkeye fans are happy.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Yard Sale in October.<br />
Loooove!<br />
Because it is the perfect weather.<br />
<br />

Doesn't look like much, does it!?<br />
But I found <a href="http://swirlsofcreativity.blogspot.com/2011/10/wiww-what-i-wore-wednesday-heart-love.html"> awesome jewelry</a> there.<br />
<br />
<br />
Sleeping more.<br />
That is the one thing I dislike about autumn.<br />
Never enough hours in the day.<br />
And even less in autumn, with sleeping more.<br />
<br />
<center><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/swirlsofcreativity/6220720095/" title="Love Bug Sleeping by Swirls of Creativity, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6222/6220720095_1fe8d235ed_z.jpg" width="640" height="480" alt="Love Bug Sleeping"></a></center><br />
I am grateful though.<br />
The kids sleep more.<br />
Meaning-I can too.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Laundry mat visit.<br />
For the 144887897949 time.<br />
Because our washer is broke.<br />

On the hunt for a nice front loader.<br />
Any suggestions?<br />
Which one to get or NOT get???<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
And last.<br />
But, certainly not least.<br />
<br />

Clean water is something every <br />
single person needs. So many <br />
people around the world still do<br />
NOT have clean drinking water <br />
around the world, including<br />
many children. As a mother<br />
this is something that is <br />
truly heartbreaking. <br />

I am good at accomplishing <br />
goals if they are specific <br />
goals, not the general goals <br />
of most New Year’s Resolutions. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I started this list I think <br />
in October, talk about <br />
procrastination (something <br />
I tend to do sometimes) and <br />
have finally finished it!<br />

<br />
<br />
I turn 31 on April 14th.<br />

<br />
However, I love making goals <br />
and lists, so I do/will have <br />
more lists that include goals <br />
as a family.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I made for the second year in <br />
a row our <a href=http://greenresolution.blogspot.com/2010/01/my-great-green-goals-for-2010-part-2.html> Great Green Goals </a>.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I plan to list some other <br />
goals we have as a family <a href=http://briobridge.blogspot.com> <br />
here </a> soon!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
And if you are curious, <br />
I was inspired by Meg’s <a href=http://megduerksen.typepad.com/whatever/2009/10/my-list.html> <br />
List</a>. ;)</center></font size>Heidi Jo the Artisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08291606337218514916noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4888958374414527528.post-45806335250544897582010-01-24T15:16:00.000-06:002010-01-24T15:16:25.193-06:00Jesus is the Reason for Awesome Sundays<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2772/4300990299_cfb4eddb1d_b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" mt="true" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2772/4300990299_cfb4eddb1d_b.jpg" /></a><br />

<center>I wrote a classmate just <br />
last week a Happy Birthday<br />
message on Facebook. And<br />
today I found out she went to<br />
be with Jesus in Heaven yesterday,<br />
after losing her battle to cancer. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I wasn’t close with her, but I do remember<br />
her in high school and writing a thing or two<br />
here and there to her on Facebook.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
It just hits too close to home when you have<br />
things in common though. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
She just turned 31 this year, was married <br />
with two kids. Her parents still together, <br />
which seems so rare these days.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
And her death makes me wonder why her,<br />
and not me?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Or why not someone else, <br />
maybe even someone older?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
We don’t have the answers or maybe <br />
we do and it’s the answer that we don’t<br />
want.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I really like the following video (6 parts) below or (one video)<a href="http://deathisnotdying.com/"> here</a>, Death is not Dying.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I have watched/listened to it several times.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
It helps me feel.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
It makes me live fully.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
It makes me love and<br />
love more unconditionally. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
It makes me want to <br />
be a better person.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
It gives me peace and hope<br />
when I think of the loved<br />
ones I miss.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
And it makes me <br />
cling more to God<br />
and Jesus as my<br />
Savior.<br />
<br />

I really liked the quote by Martyn Lloyd-Jones: "Have you realized that most of your unhappiness in life is due to the fact that you are listening to yourself rather than talking to yourself?" <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Definitely some food for thought.<br />
<br />

<br />
Please pass this along!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
To all the men in your life too.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Open your heart to God.</font size><br />
