One of Tanya's favorite quotes is:"" By his stripes, we are healed "
Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being in love which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two.
-- Captain Corelli's Mandolin
If you judge people, you have no time to love them.
Before you were conceived I wanted you
Before you were born I loved you
Before you were here an hour I would die for you
...This is the miracle of life.
Bitter are the tears of a child: Sweeten them.
Deep are the thoughts of a child: Quiet them.
Sharp is the grief of a child: Take it from him.
Soft is the heart of a child: Do not harden it.
I love people. I love my family, my children . . . but inside myself is a place where I live all alone and that's where you renew your springs that never dry up.
How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in life you will have been all of these".

I'm a mother to the most amazing person God has ever sent into my life. I am beyond blessed by Isabella. She is the brightest light in my world and her inner strength is beautiful. I LOVE being her mother. I LOVE being a mother. It's just recently that I had everything worldly possible taken away from me.. and none of it mattered.. none of it matters.. because all I cared about was m...Expand for more
e being able to walk away from that crumbling vista holding hands with THE MOST IMPORTANT person in my life.. and I got to! She is my best friend. I don't have many people in my life. I have even fewer friends. Although it saddens me at times, I know I had to go through all of this insanity to actualize my true desire. To be the person I truly am. To take ultimate 100% responsibility and then be able to forgive myself. Other people can judge.. I don't care anymore. Other people can have bigger, better , faster, prettier, all of it.. I don't care.
I have an inspirational family. I don't know a father in the world who would give more and sacrifice more for his family than my dad. It's ok to cry in his arms for an hour without speaking and when I finally feel like I can let go, he doesn't want me to. I have a mother who loves too deeply. She loves beyond and she asks for nothing in return. Just to be loved back. She has more creativity in her little finger than most people could even imagine.
My parents have always been my center for stability. They are and have always been my stronghold. They are my rocks! I pushed them away, but only because I wasn't strong enough to see myself through their forgiveness. Now, I have two best friends. I love you mom and dad.
I also have two sisters. I love most about my sisters (when we are all together) the way we are just rediculous and goofy and silly and stupid. It goes like this... We start out hyper, then we start laughing and being stupid.. Then, out of the blue, inevitably one of us starts crying..LOL.. Just like that! Crying! Then we are all crying! Then we realize we are all so much alike and so different that we start laughing again. In the end, we all have swollen puffy eyes and are laughing uncontrollably! I love them and I miss them and I miss just being sisters without all that life has to wedge in between that title.
My sister Aimee lives in CO. with my two adorable nephews Ian and Owen. She is an awe inspiring wife to my brother in law Erik. She runs her home with guidance and love.. oh and in her free time, she trains and runs marathons! Go figure! She makes me want to be a better mother and who knows, maybe someday, a wife.
My sister Chandra lives here in AZ with Jon She has who I affectionately refer to as "Noah Boats" Don't ask me why, I just do. She just passed her nursing exam and after countless hours of classes and tests and I don't even know how many more defininitions I could take writing on note cards, she landed her dream job. She lives life with conviction.
I AM SO BLESSED".
