My true colors - all about me

Give cheer Give a Cheer
Favorite

For me this album is about sharing myself with my family esp my children. so it is more about journaling than great pics. My 8 goals are:
* Now is the time for me to stop hiding behind the camera and start allowing my picture to be taken.
*I strive to stop cursing and to start being more positive in my speech. To know that sometimes it is not what you say, but how you say it.
*I want to chase after my dreams and work towards my goals, knowing that the only person in my way is me.
*Realize the god made me in his image. If someone is not willing to love me as a size 20, the do not deserve to love me as a size 2.
*To remember that all the important lessons in life we learned in kindergarten.
*To remember that to be able to give my children their childhood in photos will be one of their most precious gifts, besides love.
*Sometimes I need to dance in the rain, eat dessert for dinner, and go to bed without doing my homework.
*To never forget that I AM A SURVIVOR. Never again will I allow someone to hurt me or convince me that I am anything less than a great mother and person.

I also included the lyrics to the poem true colors and the words to Robert Fulghum's kindergarten poem.

i also journaled about these 8 goals:
i don't know why, but suddenly I feel it is oh so important to preserve my stories, the things that make me go tick. Right now as we enter a new decade I realize that I am entering new territory as a mother. No longer am I needed for diaper changing, tooth brushing, bedtime stories, or boo boo kissing, But i am needed for a whole new task and this one is the scariest and hardest yet: preparing 3 great kids for the REAL world. As you begin this journey readin about me, I hope you will realize that the goals I have set for myself as the same goals I want for you. I believe these 8 simple goals will help each of you to grow up with a sense of right and wrong, a love for family, and a self respect that no one will be able to take away from you. It may have taken me 34 years to be able to put my goals on paper, and God knows that these goals will not be perfected just because 2011 rolls around. But these are the things I strive for everyday.

thanks for reading I seldom share journaling, but this layout compelled me to share.
