Blessed Is Me: October 2014
http://blessed-is-me.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24. Wednesday, October 15, 2014. 10 Years Later And The One Who Took A Chance On Me. And a business name people struggle to say. Last month marked 10 years that I have owned Salon Boheme with The Farmer. He is my mostly silent partner. It's perfectly imperfect just like me! It started way back in 6th grade. With a big dream. It was a great place to start. Debi is just one of those people you are drawn to. I couldn't believe it.

Blessed Is Me: I Love 4h and County Fair
http://blessed-is-me.blogspot.com/2015/08/i-love-county-fair.html
This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24. Sunday, August 2, 2015. I Love 4h and County Fair. We just wrapped up Clatsop County Fair 2015. It was wonderful, exhausting, emotional, exciting and dirty. My car is a disaster inside and out. I am sure there is enough hay, alfalfa and straw inside of it to make an entire bale. It smells terrible inside and it appears to be brown on the outside instead of grey. We woke up early at the fair and went to bed late at the fair.

Blessed Is Me: What I Have Learned After 20 Years Being A Hairdresser
http://blessed-is-me.blogspot.com/2014/12/what-i-have-learned-after-20-years.html
This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24. Sunday, December 21, 2014. What I Have Learned After 20 Years Being A Hairdresser. I can't believe it has already been 20 years! I am one of the lucky few who knew at a young age. What I wanted to be when I grew up. It didn't turn out to be what I expected. I thought I would just be cutting and coloring hair. That's it and nothing more. Being good at cutting and coloring hair doesn't make you a good hairdresser. Lies don't...

Blessed Is Me: I Will Always Wonder Who You Would Have Been..
http://blessed-is-me.blogspot.com/2015/05/i-will-always-wonder-who-you-would-have.html
This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24. Thursday, May 14, 2015. I Will Always Wonder Who You Would Have Been. So much time has passed that I don't even remember the day. I can only remember the deafening silence as the ultrasound tech rubbed her wand over my belly and the feeling of hot tears rolling down my face as the doctor guided the needle into my swollen belly drawing out 3 tablespoon of amniotic fluid. Will my baby that I want so much have Trisomy 18.

Blessed Is Me: Christmas Presence
http://blessed-is-me.blogspot.com/2014/12/christmas-presence.html
This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24. Wednesday, December 24, 2014. It's only the 24th of December and we have logged 4 Christmas celebrations. What a busy couple days. More food than we could ever eat. Mounds of wrapping paper and empty boxes. Hearts wrapped in love. We celebrated with our kids this morning before The Farmer headed off for the tractor store where he had to work a few hours. It isn't wrapped in shiny paper or topped with a pretty bow. Their ar...

Blessed Is Me: January 2015

This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24. Tuesday, January 20, 2015. When Depression Steals Everything. Everyone has an opinion on it. You just need to buck up". How is your walk with The Lord". Why don't you just stop being sad". You don't ever look sad". What do YOU have to be sad about". What you NEED to do is.". Don't say any of that. If those words are on your tongue, bite it. Depression is real and it kills. It isn't always sadness. It made its way throughou...

Blessed Is Me: I Am So Excited For Christmas
http://blessed-is-me.blogspot.com/2014/12/i-am-so-excited-for-christmas.html
This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24. Monday, December 22, 2014. I Am So Excited For Christmas. I'm beyond excited for Christmas this year. Not for the tree stuffed with presents. Not for the tables overflowing with food. Not for the lights. Oh those are all good, fun and exciting things, but. I'm excited because I feel like it is a time of rebirth. To let old things go. A chance to do better and to be better. I fail at resolutions every. single. time! Crying ...

Blessed Is Me: These Hands
http://blessed-is-me.blogspot.com/2014/12/these-hands.html
This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24. Sunday, December 28, 2014. We just spent 3 glorious days at Island View Farms. It is the place that Papa Moo spent his childhood and 3 generations of Inmans have raised or are currently raising their families. It is our very favorite place to go. There is just something about the way it feels as you turn in, rumble over the cattle guard and head down the long driveway. We are always welcomed with a smile and a warm embrace.

Blessed Is Me: November 2014
http://blessed-is-me.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24. Friday, November 7, 2014. Everybody has a story. A beginning and an end. Sometimes it is joyful and sometimes sad. Sometimes easy and sometimes hard. Today the story of three somebodies that I know nothing about wrecked me completely. I drove by twice. One woman long stringy blond hair. Sunken, sad eyes. Sloppy clothes and a coat that was far too big. Two small versions of herself playing in the bark dust of a grocery store.
