i'm better for it friday....a story



i am certain we all have more than one 
“i’m better for it” story....
as a matter of fact, i imagine we have many.  
i am also certain that not all of those stories 
are something bad that happened in 
order for us to learn a lesson, 
rise from the ashes and eventually come to a place 
of gratitude for this "bad thing" that happened 
to make us better.
today, as i sit here in this little coffee shop typing....
i am better for one of the most blessED gifts 
i have ever received in my life.


today, my daughter Sophia is 11.  
she is a beauty, inside and out.  
she is compassion.  
she is kindness. 



she is “i love you mom” many, many times a day.  
she is a treasure.  
she is love. 
she is silliness.
she is laughter.
she is smiles.
she is thoughtfulness.
she is shine.


she is a wish come true,
every single day.
she is a gift.



she is happiness and magic and kisses and hugs.
she is my daughter....my heart.
i know, beyond the shadow of a doubt, 
that i am BETTER for being her mom.  
she teaches me daily and there are so many things 
about her that i strive to be more like.  
she is my blessing and i knew the day she was born 
she was a wise old soul who i was given to mother.  
i am better for this and 
beyond grateful for this.
happy weekend my friends. 
thank you for visiting me.

happiness magic and love to you today
and always.
i love you as wide as the sky

happy wednesday my friends!

question for today....

WHAT UNEXPECTED GOODNESS
HAVE YOU FOUND LATELY?

the unexpected goodness of a sweet flower
nestled on the beach

the unexpected goodness of two sisters
being kind to one another!
(these days...it's a rarity with my two youngest!)

the unexpected goodness of a heart someone
left behind
for others to find

the unexpected goodness of a mama
carrying her baby on her back......

so ...
what have YOU found lately???

Please share!!!
