Living My Crazy Best Life

MY KIDS CHALLENGE ME ON A DAILY BASIS My kids challenge me every day. I was taking a “power nap” the other day and my 12 year old son Patrick came in and asked me this question: Mom, I was wondering if today I could donate some of my toys...... WOW!!! Totally shocked me… I was not prepared for him to volunteer giving up some of his favorite things. I have to admit I was quite moved by his question and it got me thinking about how we as parents are constantly trying to instill lessons into our children and how when you least expect it, they do or say something that blows your mind. LESSON LEARNED ... Thank you to my 12 year old son Patrick for opening up my mind and my heart this morning…. His random act of kindness reminds me of his beautiful heart and his beautiful future. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart! I AM SO PROUD OF HIM This is our mission everyday AS PARENTS …TO DO BETTER ..BE BETTER.. AND ENRICH THE LIVES OF OUR CHILDRE

http://mycrazylifeasanavywife.blogspot.com/ September 24, 1950..That is the day that my mother was born.                    QUEEN ESTHER CHANDLER..... I loved everything about her. I loved the way she talked the way she smelled and the way she loved me. She was smart, insightful,creative and beautiful. A college educated woman that helped others get their G.E.D. A short woman with a lot of FIRE!! She was no push-over. A great debater, articulate and well-spoken. She taught me about the arts and gave me the chance to see my first live play on Broadway. After seeing the WIZ I felt empowered and confident that I could be anything! I didn't realize it back then, but she was exposing me to various cultures so that my eyes could see the possibilities. Today as a mother of three children myself, I continue to educate my kids just as Queen did all those years ago. I have two older sisters and my mom raised three very different, independent girls. A trait that today s

SEPT 11.....AT 8:46 a.m.....PLEASE HAVE A MOMENT OF SILENCE TODAY FOR PRAYER, FOR CONTEMPLATION, FOR MEDITATION AND ALSO FOR REFLECTION. LET US HONOR THE MEMORIES OF THE VICTIMS AND HEROES OF THAT DAY...FOR THOSE OF US WHO DISPLAY THE AMERICAN FLAG PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THE FLAG SHOULD BE HOISTED FIRST TO THE PEAK FOR AN INSTANT AND THEN LOWERED TO THE HALF-MAST POSITION... LET'S EMBRACE OUR PATRIOTIC SPIRIT TODAY . Let's take a moment today to say a prayer for all the people who died on SEPTEMBER 11, 2001. I pray that we as a nation has grown and learned some valuable lessons about HUMANITY, about LOVE and about HOPE. The images of that day are pierced in our memory and I pray that in time we will replace those images with the hope that tomorrow brings............ Fear of terror seems to be ruling..... but GOD ASSURES US THAT THIS TO SHALL PASS. Fear not for God will cast out all fear and because we know this and and because we feel this in our heart we can cont

GREATER THINGS ARE WITHIN YOUR REACH THIS MORNING All that you set out to do today has NO LIMITATIONS. Have faith in God's power and he will do such great things for you. What you can accomplish today is dictated only by your ABILITY AND WILLINGNESS TO BELIEVE that greater things are within your reach this morning(SMILE) Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen..Hebrews 11:1 Your attitude plays a major role in every single aspect of your life....     HAPPINESS IS WITHIN YOUR REACH     People do not understand that their attitude is a powerful thing .... So start the day with a positive attitude.... HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY... LASHON CAMPBELL RESIDES IN OCEANWAY, FLORIDA WITH HER HUSBAND A NAVY MASTER CHIEF AND THEIR 3 CHILDREN.

 LABOR DAY  Labor Day is celebrated on the first Monday in September. It is a day set aside to pay tribute to working men and women. Since Labor Day is a federal holiday, my husband who is in the USN will have the day off. (Family Time) Our plan for this Labor Day is to teach our children THE IMPORTANCE OF WORK whether its in our community or here at our home. When your child is young its important to instill a working ethic that will follow them throughout their life. If a child has chores at home it teaches them that they have to show commitment on a daily basis. If I tell my daughter to wash the dishes  I am depending on her to do that task. If she fails to do that "job" then she in turn will let down people who are depending her to complete that task. We are counting on her and she needs to be dependable. On a bigger scale, if the garbage man has a  "job"  to pick up the trash, but he does not do the job he is hired to do, then lots of people
