it was this day, 25 years ago that a miracle happened in my life. My faith in a greater something was ressurrected and i was overwhelmed with a love i had never known before... this was the day that i held my first-born daughter, Chelsea, in my arms... fresh outta the womb indeed!
Adventuresome, sunshine, laughing, gentle, lil' momma, earth-mother, hamster- Chelseawinnmyffs... Happy Birthday Hon!
Without a doubt, my children have been my salvation... infinite smiles and laughter, unconditional love, learning how important it is to honestly represent yourself in the eyes of your children and as a result finding out i was actually a good person, and the triumphant discovery of personal strengths I had not realized i had in me before - as I could not allow them to see me fail or have them go hungry as a result of my inability.
that isn't to say that while growing up my kiddos did not have do deal with a lot of difficulty as a direct result of being my children... but we managed to make it together... and such marvelous adults they have become!
25 years ago today I received the first of many wonderful gifts in my life, i am so grateful! I love you so much.

I am enjoying your Simple Abundance book... have it near the bed and periodically slip off to flop on the bed and quietly take in a few words every so often :)
ya know I would love to do another collaboration with you - that was really a LOT of fun.
Happy Birthday to her!! :)
This is a very beautiful birthday message to Chels .... I love having a daughter that can articulate her feelings about her children like this!
