My new bff's

So for KKFT we did a fun thing with the girls-you pose a question and write down three things-Example-favorite food-burger, tacos, good bread. It was fun, then you guess what the others in your family wrote. So Superstar reads the question-Your three best friends. Huh. Tough to answer. Of course, fish man pops in my head because we haven't seen each other in years, but when we do, it's as if no time has passed. Berman pops in my head because we have been friends for 12 years now (ouch-i'm old), or mg, or the Donald, or.....huh. Tough to answer. But how do we define freindship? If it is someone that really knows your heart, really knows everything, really holds you accountable, really has had profound conversations? Superstar rises to the top, of course. Funny, but I never would have put her on that list in the past. Not implying anything here, just being honest, but I contend that we are closer now than ever. (Have I mentioned that I love her? See the post "Superstar is my lover.") Also, the Pastor comes to the top. I've never been so open with a man before about my heart, and I know that God put him in my life for that reason. Last is a tie between mg and sick pete. I know that I can't maintain the same friendship with mg in nyc via the distance, and that saddens me, but I am sure that God will put another Christian man in his life if he pursues it, and I think sick pete is taking mg's place when we move. I am so fortunate to have many friends that I would put in the top ten, so this was a challenge. Who are your top three bff's?

I am sad also because two of my BFFs are leaving the state. But as you said, if we ask God he will provide all the friends, qcquanitances, chums, companions, confidants, or pals that I need. I will put myself in His capable hands and not fret over the removal of my Bestest most Wonderful Sis or BFF Jen.

First, what is KKFT? Second, by far Superstart has to become my BFF whether she likes it or not! I told her that way back in September while in NYC. No one else I know is in this same journey as us with kids our same age. I truly believe HE planned the September Plunge so that our families could meet. My friends here are already drifting away. HE even gave me a scrapping buddy (M) to replace my friend Andrea whom I scrap regularly with. That was my only other concern - who would scrap with me : )

Make new friends, but keep the old - One is silver and the other's gold.

Too, Too, Too Much Fun

Alright. So you're sitting in front of your computer right now. And you're saying to yourself at about 8:00 pm: "Huh. It's been dark out for nearly three and a half hours now. What else can we do for fun?" Well, sir, we have the answer. Take a look at this.

Big Difference.

I heard my superstar say this to the girls this week: "Discipline sounds like something that is bad, right? But really, it isn't. It means to push yourself to doing something. Like journalling, reading your bible, spending time with God. That is a spiritual discipline. See how that isn't a bad thing?" For nearly four years now (you can get the full story if you look back to 2007 postings), I have certainly elevated my game in the area of spiritual disciplines. Reading the bible more than I ever did before, truly engaging with what God's desire is for my life, not just when it is convenient, trying to spend time being still and listening to what God has to say to me, and one thing I never really understood why superstar did it - journalling. I really started engaging in my morning "Java with Jesus" when I began to work for my company in the D. I would get up early to drive down Alter Road to the little park where the lake turns into the D river.

My Communication Arsenal

Let’s be honest, we all have moments of glory when we are communicating with others, and moments of incredible fall on your face failure.   I for one have always thought I was a relatively good communicator, and my perspective was that I could effectively communicate and engage with a variety of people from different cultures, backgrounds, ethnicity, upbringing, or what have you.   I have been a teacher, coach, assistant principal, principal, leadership development consultant, school improvement coach/facilitator, and done these things in a variety of areas in suburbia, rural districts, and even in Detroit, Flint, and Brooklyn.   But today, I came across this word arsenal .   I felt as if I was walking down the street of life and a sign with this word was in my path and I walked my face right into it – you know the videos you see online when someone doesn’t see the sign before they run their head into it?   And it was painful.   The pain came from the realization that I have an
