Disneyland was so so so so incredible!!! ๐ I totally cried tears of joy and my face hurt so bad from smiling so hard LOL The kid in me was completely joyous ๐๐ I saw Mary Poppins as soon as we got in and couldn't help but do my best to swallow a squeal. I think my favorite ride was Indiana Jones... And Noah can attest to my ecstatic ridiculous laughter to back that up ๐ But the drops in Splash Mountain were also so exhilarating! ๐โฐ๐๐ I haven't shared anything about it because it was one of those experiences that was just so special and amazing that I hardly even know what to say. ๐ค One thing I do know is that I am so grateful that Noah took me! ๐ It was extra cool because we rented an electric scooter (which had a big basket and charging ports!), so we had no waiting in line and were given return times instead. ๐ I even found a delicious gluten-free burger at the ESPN Sports Bar ๐ It was by far the absolute best amusement park experience I've ever had and the most fun like EVER LOL ๐๐ฅ #conquerchronicpain
I love my big monsters so much ๐๐ถ๐
๐ Keep blossoming! ๐บ It's been a great few weeks for me, getting my life on track without Prednisone for the first time in a decade. I have so much to share, but I just don't feel like jumping to share anything without taking time to put thought into making sure that what I share can be of benefit to you ๐ค Love y'all!
๐ฅ Adventures with my little sisters while Dad and Mom built their business // Late 90's // Yes, neighbor kids become forever sisters sometimes ๐ค How I loved that peach-colored house by the river // Still dream about it every night, along with the Ohio River and most of my favorite childhood places ๐
Absolute perfection // Nature therapy

A Blessed Mother's Day to all ๐
Thinking about my amazing Mom, Grama, Mawmaw I never met, baby I never met, my friends who are wonderful new mothers, those whom have struggled with motherhood, dear friends who wish they could see their Mom again, dear friends with a mothering hole in their hearts of any kind, and everyone in-between. ๐
P.S. If God has a refrigerator, your picture's on it ๐
10/01/2015 // Singing Glass Animals 'Gooey' to a sweet Mama โคWILD HORSEโค in Northern California a few years ago ๐๐ต๐ She LOOOVVVED IT... and I don't know if I loved the softness of her muzzle more or if she enjoyed the softness of my strange human lips more when we would smooch, but it melted my heart ๐ฉโโค๏ธโ๐ฉ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ
As a kid, I would pray every year for a horse for Christmas, and ask santa too, of course. ๐๐ I finally gave up one year, and was just a bit bitter for a time. ๐ I decided to pray about it some more. After awhile, I let go of my childish hurt and bitterness. Instead, I chose to have faith that someday I would have the horse connection experience of my dreams ๐๐ ..In high school, we ended up with 3, but they weren't exactly rideable or super sociable ๐คท

Well, I never ever dreamed that I would be so lucky as to spend a year on a sprawling farm in the mountains enjoying the company and learning the behavior of several different herds of wild horses that would move through and up and down the mountains like an old cowboy memory! ๐๐ค โญ So, the moral of this story is to have faith because Good Karma will always deliver ๐๐
๐ We have a problem people. We are so quick to jump to be stressed out, rather than count our blessings, or even be realistic about the moment. Things are rarely as badly as we initially see them. If we look a little closer, most of the time we'll be able to recognize that we are actually surrounded by blessings instead. ๐
โ In case you've ever wondered what happens to all of those stuffed animals y'all take to Goodwill... ๐ They get compacted, sit in a warehouse together for a while kind of like the Land Of Misfits, then finally get loaded up into big trucks and taken to Mexico and other places to be sold and given to children and taken apart and re-made and who knows what else ๐ฎ๐คท
