I've decided to redo my blog/ and all about sisters.

I used to have Typepad, which I loved because it was easier for me to understand and to customize. But money is much tighter these days as a single mom of four, so I am back to Blogger. Yay for blogger! Now I have decided to update my look on my blog and I guess I am going to have to spend some time re-educating myself on how to do that. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I do have a background in graphic design, but a lot has changed in the past few years. So you can be looking forward to that once I figure it out! Story of my life - figuring out new software programs! LOL! : )

I also started theMaster Cleanse today (that explains why I might be a bit spacey). I try to do it every so often, but I do not think I have done it for a couple of years at least. I would like to go 21 days this time, but the most I have made it is 17 days. And it was actually a very spiritual experience, not to mention feeling really great (after the first several days - which were actually very yucky getting the toxins out).

I am going through a very profound period in my life. So many changes....within me, my teenagers, preteen and young adult children. I so need clarity, spiritual guidance and understanding - for all of which I pray. I am so blessed to have two older sisters who are like moms to me, who pray for me and love me unconditionally. I truly do not know how I could make it through this time without knowing they know me and they love me in spite of my shortcomings.

They know the secret parts of me and yet they see the best in me. How God has bessed me with them.They build me up when I am down.  I have not always let them know what their presence in my life has meant, but I pray they know I could not have gotten (and now am getting) through these trying times in my life without them, not to mention all the fun and laughter they have brought me throughout my life. God could not have given me greater gifts to help me make it in this life and I love them so much.

Unfortunately, I cannot hug them because they live so far away. But if you are blessed enough to have a sister close by, give her an extra long, loving hug. Blood is so much thicker than water. Boy, have I learned that lesson a thousand times. I was so blessed to grow up into a very close-knit loving family and that is the greatest legacy you can leave to your children. If my parents were here today I would love to talk to them about the beautiful, loving, accepting legacy they left for us, but I believe that somehow they must know that. Now if I can only continue that legacy with my children, I will be the most blessed I could ever be. Sacrifice is never easy, but it has its rewards.

Love,

Susie
