Hello all you wonderful chickadees. As you can see by the reduction in posts I'm back to my wonderful days of 13 hour days and reduction of time to meditate.
Jolene - Any new updates about your brother? Where is your pizzeria located? I might have to fly up there and try a slice.
Joy - I'm so thankful that your challenge of a house in disrepair is nearing it's end. I know it's been difficult adjusting to managing things of this nature and want you to know that you aren't alone with it even on those days it feels like it.
Katie - glad to see there is some good news in your home.
Lorna - Please extend my prayers to Jo on my behalf and let her know she's still on the prayer list and that many prayers will make light sorrow.
Linny - I didn't know a good night's sleep was an option  Hope you get some much needed rest and enjoy that omelette - a tinge of envy from Tx.
Yvonne - I have the same belief you do that a busy day at work makes it go really fast but from way too much experience I can tell you that you need to make sure you get a little pampering time for yourself. It was such a joy to meet you and your life team mate that I'd like to keep you around for a while
I've got a large prayer list at home and I am going to post it sometime this week and get an update on praise reports and add whichever new prayers will be answered.
xo xo B-
Bren I really enjoed meeting you too, hope we meet soon again for some scraptime. When I leave work after 8-9 hours I leave it there and don't pick it up again until next day - have my weekends free!!!
Maggie I hope your mom will feel better soon, thinking about you....
Martica great video.
Have a good Thursday...
hugs

Good morning ladies,
I love my morning sb.com routine. I always make coffee and sit and read the comments of new lo's that I've posted. Well this morning I read one that totally took me back! Some new person created an account and left me a message with her email wanting me to contact her by email so she could get to know me as my profile brought her joy! Totally tripped me out!!! I won't contact her by email, but I decided to leave her a message on her profile page just in case she really is a newbie who doesn't realize how we communicate with each other. I'm sure her comment was innocent, but it sure freaked me out! Anyone ever have this happen to them on sb.com before???
It's Friday so I'm headed to card class today then going over to a friends house to visit tonight. Dinner and wine, should be very nice. Sure feels good to return to my active routine again. I've been shy about driving since my car accident a few months ago, but I'm finely back in the saddle again!
For those of us that enjoy a morning blessing:
Dear Heavenly Father we want to praise you and thank you for this beautiful new day. May we rejoice and be glad in it! I lift up my friends to you this morning Lord and ask that your healing hands would be on those in need this morning. May your loving arms surround each one of us and bring us peace and comfort on this beautiful morning. May we lift your name in praise this morning as the Spirit fills each of us with Your love. Go before us today and lead us closer to you Lord. We ask these things in Jesus name, Amen! Blessings to all...

Apparently Dawna and I are not the only ones who this creep commented to.
Yesterday the username was "unknown" and signed sinda. Now the username is 'sinda'
The profile shows how the same remark was posted to a whole bunch of people....

Good morning beautiful ladies.
Dawna, thank you for that morning blessing. I sure did need and appreciate it.
Too weird this strange message that you guys are getting. A fiching attempt??
I have giving or asked email address here but only of those that I have been communicating with and feel that I have gotten to know and enjoy.
Please keep us posted on what happens with this stalker type.
Have a blessed day.

As we grow in our faith and belief God gives us the power of discernment to recognize evil intent or malicious behavior. May you be guided by his spirit to determine the truth of others.
The emails you guys are receiving are scammails. These are people who will try and connect with someone talk to them for a bit then ask them if it would be possible for you to help them out. They'll either ask you to cash one of their checks and send them the money and keep some for yourself or help them get out of a country they're stuck in and have no money for. Reporting to SB.Com was the RIGHT thing to do.
Colossians 2:8 ESV
See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.

Thanks for sharing this link Linny, how creepy is that!!! She's currently on-line and continues to 'troll' for victims this morning too. Bren I think your right about her intentions. They are clearly not from someone who's a newbie! I've reported her too.

While I looked at this creepy persons site he/she "contacted" 5 more people so I went in to customer service too and put a high report alert on this person. Don't like to see things like that here.....
Hope you all will have a great weekend.... finally a breather here in the midwest weather... yeah happy dance

Good morning Ladies, what a coincidence!!
I got the post from sinda and thought it was wierd so I came to the forums to see if anyone else had a question about it. Then I saw that Deb had a chat group that I didn't know about so I checked in and here was just what I was looking for.
I clicked on the profile and the user is unknown so there is no sinda registered here with a profile. that is creepy. I hope no one sends an e-mail and gets a virus downloaded or something. Seriously, do people not have better things to do with their time that try to hurt other people? I don't get it.
well, I can see I am late to this party but I am ususally the last one to leave, ha ha.
a very good morning to you all and many blessings for a wonderful day. ( I have to get to the grocery store and it is supposed to be 117 here today so I better run)

thanks for the welcome Lorna and Linny.
I have to admit I am much more of a tea lady. If I drink even the smallest 1/2 cup of watered down coffee I have to work standing up. We tested it when I was working, ha ha. I just can't sit still.
I am home from the store and it is a hot one.
I am driving my daughter home from the bus stop which isn't horribly far just because I can't see her having to walk in this heat. People keep telling me it's good for her but NO, it's not if she passes out or something. I'm into the do unto others and boy I would sure wish someone would pick me up and give me a ride home if I were her.
TTYL.................D

Hello Sisters...
I come to you late tonight with a very heavy heart. I did a good job of putting on a smile and getting through today the best I could. I had a blog hop to post for and I had the furniture men come to deliver beautiful new furniture...I should have been elated right? Well I have something to share that I will only share here and only share once. I am not one to seek attention or pity so I will just tell it like it is and then hopefully be able to rest.
I have had some difficulty breathing lately. I had a bronchial infection so I thought that is what it was. No worries at all. Well the other morning when I was bombarded with SB.com DRAMA once again I thought I was having a panic attack...the docs didn't know what was going on only that I had a pulse rate of well over 200 my BP was erratic...and my oxygen sats where in the 80's! As I said I thought it was because I had been very upset. Well they kept me until the next evening and scheduled an MRI for the next day. I received the results of the MRI last night. The cancer has spread to my lungs. I crawled into bed last night not wanting to get up ever again. And then I heard this repeating in my head:
So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
So thank you Bren for validating my prayer this morning! For knowing my pleas even though I was unable to express them myself. In my time of need you interceded for me.
I'm sorry Lorna for not replying to your voicemail...I had nothing left in me last night. But, today...I am ready to FIGHT. So although my heart is heavy tonight I am NOT done fighting yet!!!
Enough of that...
Jo...Your family has continued to be in my prayers...I have asked healing on your brothers body mind and spirit. I know how you love your siblings. Just know that my burdens are never too great that I can't be here for you. If you need me I am a phone call away.
Bren...My heart was broken as I read of the passing of you Grandmother. I know just how much my Gran meant to me...she was my heart, my soul my everything...she was my angel. If you loved your Grandmother one iota as much as I love mine...then you will be grieving for sometime to come. You will miss her...and she will forever be a part of your life. Please except my condolences as they come from a place of love and respect.
I am getting tired...I think a warm bath is in order and then I am going to take my iPad to bed with me and watch some YouTube creations.
Goodnight my sisters...Know that I love you.

Yes...Martica is right...Will you lift up my friend Heather "hvn101" in your prayers she is suffering from a severe case of TMJ and has fibromyaligia...I think I will send her the link to our cafe and invite her to come sit a while with us. She needs us right now.
