Still Speaking Soundly: January 2012
http://stillspeakingsoundly.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 29, 2012. Since my last blog, I've noticed that things have been "silent." I haven't had any huge epiphanies. I haven't written in my book. I haven't had any miracle moments. I've struggled with my marathon training. I've struggled with being inspired. But, suddenly, in that silence I found what I was looking for today. I also found tears and a complete. Chapter in my book. All I want you to know is this:. God is working in the silence. Working in your life. He is. I Love You, Lord. What ...

Still Speaking Soundly: December 2010
http://stillspeakingsoundly.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 14, 2010. Stop Simply. Be. I do not believe in something without trying it myself. I began 40 Days of Thankfulness, asked people to join and continued doing it with them. I started 365 Days of Gratitude and am now on day 35. I did not think I would be able to keep that commitment at all. But now with 200 members in that group, a new blog site dedicated to it, and a new challenge to go along with our gratitudes, the idea is spreading. Truthfully written by Speaking Soundly. Yes, friends&...

Still Speaking Soundly: November 2011
http://stillspeakingsoundly.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 29, 2011. The more difficulties one has to encounter, within and without, the more significant and the higher in inspiration his life will be. –. To each person that I, personally, know is hurting at this very moment - you are an inspiration to me. At some point in the past few weeks, you've made me smile a genuine smile and I've been consciously grateful for you and the moments we shared. Your strength is evident. Love each of you more than you know,. Monday, November 28, 2011. When I ...

Still Speaking Soundly: Please Don't Say "Happy Birthday!"
http://stillspeakingsoundly.blogspot.com/2011/11/please-don-say-birthday.html
Sunday, December 4, 2011. Please Don't Say "Happy Birthday! Last year for my birthday I decided to do several blog giveaways! It was the best thing I've done in a long time. I had so much fun giving! I'm asking YOU to give something instead. (keep reading). Adoption is near and dear to my heart. I LOVE adoption stories and despite what others assume, I'm very open about talking about my feelings about my own situation. I also love to hear others' stories when I get the chance. You were adopted right?

Still Speaking Soundly: November 2010
http://stillspeakingsoundly.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 27, 2010. Some of the greatest things in the world, are often the smallest. Most of you know that I've began a huge undertaking. I've committed to doing 365 Days of Gratitude. One acknowledgement of gratitude per day, one blog per day, one tweet per day, and usually one journal entry per day. I seem to have found a pretty good rhythm for seeing that all get posted. Though, it's not been easy each day. Small tree, simple ornaments, hanging lights, making hot cocoa, playing video games, ...

Still Speaking Soundly: October 2010
http://stillspeakingsoundly.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 21, 2010. He is my Thankful. The past week has been as fast as a NASCAR race. My mind and body have been going so fast that I have not been able to stop and process much. On the one hand that is good, on the other, it is bad. I need an internal vacation. The good thing about that is that it costs nothing. The problem is that even for the next 7 days, I cannot see a break in site. My mind, body and soul desperately need it and need relief from the nonstop exhaustion. It was him. :).

Still Speaking Soundly: ALERT! You ARE special, but not THAT special.
http://stillspeakingsoundly.blogspot.com/2011/12/alert-you-are-special-but-not-that.html
Saturday, December 10, 2011. You ARE special, but not THAT special. This week's lessons were full and never-ending. :). Someone sent this to me via email and I loved it so much I thought it needed to have it's own blog post. The people who NEED. To read this and soak it in are often the ones who genuinely think it doesn't. Do you have anyone in your life (home, work or otherwise) that should be wearing this t-shirt? How do you handle your encounters with them? I don't usually call people out like that bu...

Still Speaking Soundly: Expect Great Things, Attempt Great Things
http://stillspeakingsoundly.blogspot.com/2012/01/expect-great-things-attempt-great.html
Monday, January 2, 2012. Expect Great Things, Attempt Great Things. Has someone ever told you that you couldn't? Have you ever told yourself "I can't? Have you ever done something you never thought you could? I can give you one example for every year of my life of something that either someone told me I couldn't do or something I told myself I couldn't do. This past holiday break, I began listening to Candace Cameron Bure's. Yes, you read that right - Candance Cameron aka DJ Tanner. From chapter 1-19 som...

Still Speaking Soundly: June 2011
http://stillspeakingsoundly.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 15, 2011. Often you will find that I'm the optimist. I always try to see the glass as "half full," I will look for the gratitude until I see it clearly, I will look for the good in people no matter where they come from, what they do, or how they look. I have 3 dream boards that I've consciously made since 2001 entailing my dreams, goals, hopes for the future. Then I saw it. Pink with a rusted lock on it. It read simply "Diary.". This little gem is PRICELESS: "When I have kids I'll definit...

Still Speaking Soundly: May 2011

Monday, May 16, 2011. The 5 Things I've Learned:Thank you, Oprah! In honor of Oprah's last week of shows, I decided to compile a list the 5 things that I learned from Oprah. I admit that in the last few years, I've not been the avid viewer that I once was while a young mother and teacher. Though, I can remember seeing her on TV as far back as third grade. I listened intently when she had Dr. Phil on discussing relationships and saying "What are YOU getting out of that behavior? I identified with so many ...
