Confession of a Shopaholic...

My mom belongs to a book club and I decided to read her latest one, "Confessions of a Shopaholic". It is a littl entertaining read and am wanting to see the movie now. But in the book this girl is a Reporter/Writer for a Financial Institution, her name is Rebecca (just like mine) and is in debt up to her ears (not like me). The fun thing about this book is that when she is at work her mind is thinking of how people are dressed, what she has on, etc. and not much about her work. It seems that she does her job with ease without even really thinking about it but her love is really for fashion and she loves to shop. I can kind of relate to her because when I am at work I can easily get my work done but my mind is constantly thinking of other things besides just work. And of course I'd rather be shopping too...but I know better than to go into debt as in the book. Just wish I had money to be able to buy things any time, any where! Now that would be sweet!

Our world mirrors who we are back to us...

I was reading today about how our world mirrors who we are back to us. When we get upset by something outside of us, our reaction shows us that we have an inner wound to be healed.
Just as we can be unconscious of our wounds, we can also be unconscious of our strengths. If you are really drawn to the positive qualities in another person, you are being invited to own those same qualities in yourself.
The people we are in relationships with are always a mirror, reflecting our own beliefs, and simultaneously we are mirrors reflecting their beliefs. So our relationships are one of the most powerful tools for growth... if we look honestly at our relationships we can see so much about how we have created them.

EASTER!

For some reason it doesn't seem like the 'traditional' Easter for me. I didn't get a chance to dye eggs with the kids or prepare a big spread for dinner. Thankfully we live with my mom and she has picked up the slack. I have been busy with work and doing stuff for the Club for Easter and my hours at work are such that I felt like I had no time...sigh...just have to make time! Even now I am at work for the Easter Buffet we had for our Members. I get to go home in about 30 minutes and spend the rest of the day with the family.
I am excited to be home tonight instead of working! I think that my sister, brother in law, nephew and my kids will be dining on ham and all the yummy stuff that goes with it. I think that my son Seabury and his wife Alex will be there too. It will hopefully feel a little more 'traditional' and more like what I am used to doing on Easter....being with family, eating good food, playing games, eating candy, playing games and just enjoying life.
