A New Year! New Adventures! A New Challenge!

I purchased a new book this week. The Love Dare for Couples.

After the holidays and reflecting on my life (past, present and future) - I realized my greatest goal is to be the best for my family. That's where I experience my greatest happiness. A compliment on Dawson that reflects on my teachings. A comfortableness from Isaac that speaks how much he enjoys having us around. A smile from Dave that says "I'm so glad you are here!" Those simple things are what brings me joy.

I want to be such a great mate, mother, partner, friend. I want to be that Godly woman who walks with a glow that invites a specialness just to be around. I want to emit the piece of me that shows an unconditional love. No expectation of anything in return.

So... in search to be that person I love being, I'm starting with Dave. One of my greatest priorities to be the best I can to him. There are a ton of ways to accomplish that, but for now, I'm starting with The Love Dare for Couples - A Year of Devotionals.

This is for me. Heres to this new chapter, new year and a chance to look back 365 days from now having brought the inside of myself outward.

Stay tuned. Tomorrow is Day 1!

Our last Christmas...

It was our last Christmas to ever be spent apart. Dawson and I had a wonderful visit in NY for our "holiday" celebration. Santa was good to both of us. I got the love of my life and Dawson got a wii. It appears everyone got what they wanted. Better than a wii, I got to relive the best times of my life for a week. Reminiscing about the times we laughed, bonded and shared. For a few days, just time to love and be loved. If I never got another week like Christmas, the gift of Christmas 2010 will always be one of my most cherrished.
