First I would like to start off by thanking you for creating a wonderful social networking site that brings people together with family, friends, and their community. It helps small businesses grow, and lets us create communities that suit our personal interests. We can spend time relaxing and talking with friends, or sit back and play some games with all the apps you have for us.

Yet another example of this being a man's world and the hypocrisy found in all these rules and regulations that are set against us in modern-day society.

Beautiful Scars

A Mother’s Love by Helen Steiner Rice

A Mother’s love is something
that no one can explain,
It is made of deep devotion
and of sacrifice and pain,
It is endless and unselfish
and enduring come what may
For nothing can destroy it
or take that love away . . .
It is patient and forgiving
when all others are forsaking,
And it never fails or falters
even though the heart is breaking . . .
It believes beyond believing
when the world around condemns,
And it glows with all the beauty
of the rarest, brightest gems . . .
It is far beyond defining,
it defies all explanation,
And it still remains a secret
like the mysteries of creation . . .
A many splendored miracle
man cannot understand
And another wondrous evidence
of God’s tender guiding hand.

Taking A Minute to Reflect

As 5:30PM comes around and I’m still here sitting at work waiting for yet another meeting to start I have to sit back and reflect on how nicely everything has fallen into place. I’m in the best financial position I’ve ever been in, I’m able to look ahead and work towards all my future goals with the utmost confidence, my kids are healthy and I’m giving them as much stability as I can with hopes that soon they’ll have all the stability in the world and I’m getting married to a man that has helped stand me up, dust me off and take every step to where I am right now. I look forward to every single day now. Do you know what an amazing feeling that is?? I used to dread waking up every morning and having a whole day to face. That was a horrible feeling. I’m elated with the turn my life has taken and knowing that its only going to get better is more motivation to do and be anything I want. Sometimes you just have to sit back and reflect.

A Nutella, Double Chocolate & Banana Tart for the Annual World Nutella Day. Be still my heart! Has there ever been a happier, more delicious convergence of ingredients? I think not, though perhaps adding a little peanut butter into the mix would have made it even more enticing... if that is possible. That's right, today February 5th is World Nutella Day.
