my birthday

I had a great three-day-long birthday celebration commencing with receiving a care package in the mail from Erin on Friday morning. Then going out to the Melting Pot with Nikolay, Emily and Jacob Friday night for some well deserved grown up fun time. Saturday I went shopping by myself and finally found my long sought after "long skirt" (it is two layers of colorful silk that can be wrapped around and transformed in a million ways) and hit the Bath and Body Works sale to stock up on soap and stuff like I did last year on my birthday. Saturday evening Svetlana came over with one of those wonderful 15 layer cakes that she orders from an Armenian guy (remember at Dallin's blessing last year). Adriana gave me mums , she just love flowers for any occasion. Ariel gave me a super duper cheese grater and Nikolay a beautiful glass pitcher. We can finally get rid of our purple-plastic-left-over-from-Erin's-wedding-
reception-eight-years-ago-one.

I have been totally milking the birthday girl thing. Like Nikolay made the bed, and I got to talk to Maegan when she called in the middle of putting the kids to bed because it was my birthday, and I got out of the dishes and tons of other stuff. I just don't know what I'll do with myself when we are out of this child-rearing season in our lives.

Favorite Quotes

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

-Marianne Williamson

“And now here is my secret, a very simple secret; it is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye.”

-Antoine de Saint-Exupery

We need always to ask what we are doing to our spirit. Is the divine within us being nurtured, or do our actions prevent the Spirit from becoming the predominant force in our lives?
-Kathleen H. Hughes

Verse of the Day

Feb 17, 2011 Moses 6:32 And the Lord said unto Enoch: Go forth and do as I have commanded thee, and no man shall pierce thee. Open thy mouth, and it shall be filled, and I will give thee utterance, for all flesh is in my hands, and I will do as seemeth me good. 33 Say unto this people: Choose ye this day, to serve the Lord God who made you. 34 Behold my Spirit is upon you, wherefore all thy words will I justify; and the mountains shall flee before you, and the rivers shall turn from their course; and thou shalt abide in me, and I in you; therefore walk with me. My thoughts: If God could give Enoch power to teach the people He also gives me power to teach my children, I need to remember to rely on that. May 25,2010 Matthew 14 25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea. 26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear. 27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. 28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. 29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. 31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? March 1, 2010 Helaman 3:21 ...And they began to grow up unto the Lord.
