A Brief Life Reflection...LIVE BRAVE

It has once again been soooo long since I have written a blog that I feel somewhat embarrassed to post this one. Nevertheless it must be done.

As I sit here this morning drinking a cup of coffee, going through my emails, logging on to my social networks, wiping my son's runny nose, delegating morning chore responsibilities, and hurling threats to any child who does not do what is being asked...I realize that my life is extremely busy and full. I have a lot on my plate and that is becoming ever so prevalent now. I have taken on other tasks as far as my purpose is concerned and I have even embarked upon the journey of becoming a better meal planner and cooking every meal our family eats - which by the way...that is a HUGE task and a LOT of work- we are now eating from our own table! I received that advice from a 86 year old woman who grows and sells fresh vegetables in front of her home, she gave me that advice when I asked her "so what's the secret?" the very first thing she said was "I eat from my OWN table". I mean really to live to be 86 and still able to get around, still in your right mind and happy. I am impressed, so I took that to heart and so now our family eats from our own table!

Now, don't get me wrong I also have a grandmother who just celebrated her 75th birthday and she has a lot of life in her and "still kicking" as I always say to her and I really appreciate her life. I can learn a lot from her also, although there is one habit I have yet to take on and that is, my grandmother eats an onion almost everyday like an apple, I mean really she just takes a big hunk a chunka bite out of an onion and she has been doing that for YEARS. Perhaps that's her secret, I just realized I have never asked my own grandmother that question...(note to self...call grandma today and ask her, "what is the secret"). Sure, she has her good days and her bad days but to see her today it is just amazing to me, I love her soooo much she was my safe place when I was a young girl, going to her house was a sanctuary for me. Wow, just reflecting on that makes me really appreciate how God has truly blessed me. My grandmother has taught me a lot of lessons on unconditional love, I know I got a lot of my entrepreneurial skill from her. She has done a lot and even to this day for her not to work is really hard on her because that is just a part of who she is.

Just reflecting on this makes me value my life all the more. I have a lot more thoughts that I plan on sharing in upcoming blogs but for right now just living my life and seeing what God has in store for my family right now is extremely exciting!

I will end with this, right now my family and I are embarking on a new journey where we are fully trusting GOD... I like to say we are in a position to LIVE BRAVE (more about this to come).

Come along on this journey with us as we begin to experience life in a whole new realm of FAITH.

LIVE BRAVE!....How Chic ;)

Final Thought (really)...If you have accepted the invitation to read my blogs, I have one request...If you do not already have a blogger account please create one (it's free) because I would like for you to comment on my blogs. You may be wondering why, it's simple...MY Chic Life blogs are a part of my purpose right now and one encouraging factor in sharing what I need to share is interaction. This will be -most likely- my last time making this request. This is simply me wanteing to be a part of your life and I want you to be a part of mine...that's it nothing more nothing less :) Much Love to you all and again...How Chic ;)
