Ahhh, the seventh grade. For better or worse, I remember my first year of what was called then, junior high, nowadays it is considered middle school...And now my youngest is stepping into this new world. She is nervous, but happy to start tomorrow. A brand new adventure is awaiting for her, from already planning the two semi-formal dances with her best friends, to the heartache of unfounded gossip and rumors that seem to creep in when you aren't looking somewhere along the line.
Fortunately she has a good head on her shoulders, but it also goes along with an even bigger heart on her sleeve. But what can you do but give what advise you can, share your experiences and how you handled situations, and just give your never ending love and support. Explain to her that sometimes people think they live in a "reality" show and can say or do whatever they think of without any tact, manners, or filters. One bonus of my lovely daughter is she is so darn mature for her age! Another one of those for better or worse moments...hahaha
Well I wish her, and all the munchkins going back to school, nothing but the best and I hope they discover who they are and what they want to do later in life so they can begin learning now!

White Light...
Two steps ahead...One step back! For as much as it maybe tiresome... It can be useful, painful at times, but useful. You can use it to find the hidden strength within yourself, and with that strength you can inspire others. No matter what comes your way you can still persevere.
For all the difficult times we are going through, there are those that are going through worse. This is where we need to shine and give that extra helping hand. I am grateful to have a roof over my head, a car to drive, food to eat, a full time job with benefits, I am going to school to have my bachelor's degree by next summer, and I have two amazing kids that are healthy and happy. My rent and bills sometimes get behind, but I somehow manage to pull through. I may be without for a time, but it gets caught up in the end. I live in income based apartments and my rent was just doubled because of promotions at work...but that is okay, it will work out like it is supposed too!
There are countless people in this country and around the world that do not have it as well as I do, so I have always tried to be humble in knowing the fact that what I have can always be taken away at the drop of a hat. I guess the thoughts are on my mind are we are in desperate need as a country and as a planet to pull together and not panic, and realize we are all in this together.
Perhaps if we radiate the Spirit of White Light and Positive Energy we can cause a shift in the nervous energy. I know I will be surrounding myself and my kids with White Light and mirrors reflecting outward to keep the negativity away. If we banish enough of the negative energy, perhaps it could happen!
I know I have a rather PolyAnna outlook on things, but isn't positive better than negative? Will it really hurt to try?? At least it is a step in the right direction.....
