Ok. I must admit that I have no idea where this blog is headed. Currently, it is like a journal for me only open to the public. I welcome any suggestions or questions.
My intention with the website is to inform. When I finally get all the content done it will not change much. Then this blog may take on a new life.

Woke up this Saturday morning thinking about how to avoid problems with the morning routine for my first graders. I have spent the last two days working solid in my classroom. No end in sight. Thank God for Kelly and her daughter Brittany coming yesterday to help clean my white boards, shelves, etc. I am so particular. Asking for help is often hard for me. It was gratifying to find a friend and former classroom mom willing to spend her time helping me even though she has no students in my class this year. Love is service, and service needs to be received as well as given. If your reading this Kelly thanks a million!
I have bruises all over, particularly on my arms, from lifting heavy boxes, etc. I was planning an going back to work in the room today. However, when I was on my way to Wallmart last night at 9:30 to buy classroom supplies, the front breaks on our van started making a loud grinding noise. Driving like a snail I got to my destination and back safely. This morning we are off to the repair shop and hopefully to school later in the day. Love to all! Christina Yesterday evening I met with Janet Stephenson to discuss our visions for our websites, but mostly just because we wanted to meet and get to know each other. Janet started loveandlightnetwork.org and found me when mutual facebook friends liked my loveandlightnow page. I love Janet's passion for creating a space for like minds to connect. When we strengthen each other we are of greater service to everyone around us. This is an awesome ride for me.
On an even more personal note, my husband and son are going camping without me today. I could go. I am invited. It is just that I really need to get to work on my first grade classroom. There is so much to do this year as I have been moved from one building to another. Class begins on Sep. 7th, but back to school night is the 2nd. Getting my head back in the game is the wise choice for me although I would love one more camp-out. Also, it will be nice for the two men in my life to have father and son time. Peace and Light Christina Last Thursday I drove to Utah to help my sister pack and move to Oregon. It was fabulously exhausting. She has four kids under seven years of age. Fortunately the neighbors played with or babysat the kids for much of the weekend. When the kids were there our progress on packing and painting the house slowed to a crawl. See, on top of packing we had to get the Victorian home ready to sell. They need to sell the home in order to buy one in Portland.
I loved spending time with my sister, her kids, her husband, and one of my brothers who came Saturday to help with the move. We were able to share without judgment our hopes, disappointments, and service. It was a special crazy time. Fortunately, I was able to do some Reiki sessions with each of the adults to help them relax and get through the stress. We also had a group prayer which brought total peace to our minds and hearts. I so admire my sister and her husband they are a perfect example of romantic and familial love. They are always there for each other and take life in stride moment by moment. Yet they plan for the future and share hopes and dreams. This move is a real test of their faith as they are moving into a hotel as part of the transition. They are hoping to close on a house very soon, but much is contingent on the sale of their old home. They are literally walking into the dark following their hearts. I trust and pray that divine providence will continue to pave the way for them to meet the needs of their special young family. As for me, when I arrived home I collapsed in bed for three hours, got up and took a hot bath and then went back to bed until morning. I don't know how they go go go. Of course, I am (t--yrs.) older than my sister, but I thought I had more energy than this weekend proved I do. Being there for each other is love in action. Now to meet my own little families needs as we prepare to go back to school after a wonderful summer. Love Rules! Christina The adventure begins. I look forward to meeting many wonderful people and sharing our life experiences through the avenue of this blog. My brother started a blog about ten years ago. While I am a bit behind the times in getting myself out there to be seen I am right on schedule for the purposes of my journey. Peace and Light to all! Christina  |
