Love Is All You Need

There are a lot of people that I have lost in my life.  Whether I lost them to distance, or time, or death, I always feel as if a part of me has changed. I got the spend some time with people that I lost to time and distance, and with some it was as if nothing had changed; others, as if we were virtual strangers.  It's so nice to know that I have those friends that nothing seems to matter.  

Today I lost some one in my life that was not quite a friend, not quite mother, not quite sister, but all three at the same time.  She was some one who was able to be anything and everything I needed her to be.  Some one who was so willing to give all of her love to people that needed it.  I know that not everyone has this type of person in their life, and I know that some people who do, don't realize it.    She was the type of women that truly made me want to be a better person.  She challenged me to learn how to accept and love people for the good things they have to offer; to listen to people and understand their unspoken needs.  We all have people in our lives that we respect for who they are, and how they treat people... now its our turn to become that person for some one else!  I am a better person for having known and spent time with Linda Emly.  I know what it is to love completely - and now its my turn.

There's Nothing You Can Say That Can't Be Said

So, I know it has been FOREVER since I last blogged...  I started this blog thinking that I would start at the beginning - give an overview of who I am and where I came from, and who I am... but I felt like I was sounding rather whiny and tired.  I am not that!  At least not most of the time!  lol  


Now, I have finally found some inspiration in my current life to write and share some things that are going on.  I didn't want to make a crafting blog - not what I planned on sharing, but that is part of my life, so I will posting some of the things I come up with.  I didn't want to make a couponing blog - there are a million and that is a lot of work, but that is part of my life - and some fun adventures, so some of that will be incorporated.  Whatever some up in my life, I will start blogging about the here and now. No more whiny Benny!
