I have been soooooooo busy!!!

I finally have been given the opportunity at my job to work at home.  I love it; but I miss my friends and my daily "social hour".  I am a social butterfly, when it comes to my friends anyway, so this is a BIG adjustment to me.  I also start a lot earlier in the day now, since I don't have the one hour drive into work everyday!!! YAY!!! It's another way of me contributing to the healing of our mother earth.  This also means I have internet at my house now so all my computer stuff is set up now in my office with my work's equipment.  I am so excited about this because now I can start doing my graphic design and photography again!!!  I have to go thru my tutorials on the new versions of the programs I use... it's been a while and NOTHING looks familiar on them... glad I bought the professional manuals for them!!!

My cousin has recently moved in with us for the rest of the summer.  She is a 5th year senior in college and was lonely staying on campus all by herself so we moved her out to the country with us for about 3 weeks.  We will miss her tremendously when she goes back to school; but she knows how to get to to our house now and it is only an hour from the city.  She has promised to visit WAY more often now!  YAY!!!

Lastly, Miss Kaity has started school again.  She is now in the second grade.  She is doing fantastic... as usual.  She is having some conflicts within herself though.  She doesn't like being the "smart kid" in her class.  The grown ups LOVE it but the kids are cruel!  One day everyone loves her and wants o be her friend and the next day they are all picking on her and she is the outcast.  Unfortunately, she is having to learn these lessons at a VERY early age.  The worst thing about all this is it is affecting her so badly that she is now back talking at home too.  

I am hoping that her going thru this phase at such an early age she will learn how important it is to just be herself whether people around her like her or not!  This happened oppositely for me.  I was "miss popular" all thru grade school and when I got to middle school... it all changed!  On top of having the normal 13-year old "my life is over" hormonal catastrophes... I had to deal with the fact that I went from everyone knowing me because I was the most "popular" girl in school to knowing me because I am the school "freak"!  It took me a while but learned that I absolutely LOVED just being myself and having REAL friends!  I LOVED not having to "primp" just to go to the grocery store with my mom!  I just loved being me!

Please everyone keep Kaity in your blessings; and send her a little extra courage if you have some to spare.  We thank you for it and I know her Higher Self appreciates it.

Bright Blessings in Light & Love,

April
