Patient

Joyful

Marvelous

Grateful

Wonderful

 

I had to be patient with my son today while trying to get him ready for nap time.  He's been having some difficulties with following directions lately so I've been consciously been making a better effort to tell him what I need him to do...than give him Choice A or Choice B.

I become joyful when I listen to my Air 1 radio station at work.  The powerful lyrics I hear keep me motivated and encouraged.

I felt marvelous on Monday morning (6:00am) after working out for the first time since...well...er...I don't know when the last time I worked out was!

I am grateful for such an amazing husband who brings me back to realtiy.  :)

It feels wonderful to be eating healthier again.

My beautiful niece, Katie.

Dear Katie

Welcome to the world my precious niece!  I could not be with you when you arrived this morning, but I anxiously waited, and prayed as you made your debut.  I have been so excited to meet you ever since your Mommy told me she was having you.  I was even more excited to learn that you were going to be a girl!

I will always be a part of your life, and will always support you.  I love you, and your brother Jackson more than words can say. 

Love you always Katie...Aunt Jamie :)

Take 69 seconds...

Raising awareness and taking action against breast cancer is, and will always be an important cause I support (among many others).  We are on the eve of National Breast Cancer month, and I ask that you join me in taking action in raising awareness.  

Please read the following post from the Komen foundation:

Today, September 30, may be our biggest event ever, as we ask people from around the globe to make a promise to take action against breast cancer — all through social media. This global effort starts with you, posting to your Facebook profile or Twitter and then asking your friends to do the same. We’ve made it easy for you to do.

How does it work? Starting today, September 30, at midnight (EDT) to midnight October 1, we are kicking off Breast Cancer Awareness Month by asking YOU to visit www.69-seconds.org. On that website, you can take action and update your Facebook/Twitter status or blog using the hashtag #fightbreastcancer.

What is a “hashtag”? Hashtags allow you to quickly identify special topics, and help spread information while organizing and making it searchable within social media.

Why 69 seconds? Because that’s how often a woman dies of breast cancer somewhere in the world. A statistic we’re trying to change. It’s also about how long it takes to #fightbreastcancer by choosing to drive change, share support or educate at www.69-seconds.org.

What’s the goal? We hope to mobilize millions to take 69 seconds to #fightbreastcancer AND break the Guinness World Record for Most Widespread Social Network Message in 24 Hours.

How can you join the fight?
1. Visit 69-seconds.org and take action!
2. From the website, change your Facebook and/or Twitter status to one of the following:
o Every 69 seconds, a woman dies of breast cancer somewhere in the world. #fightbreastcancer at http://69-seconds.org/.
o Today is not about raising funds. It’s about raising virtual voices around the world to take action in 69 seconds or less. Visit http://69-seconds.org/, post #fightbreastcancer to Facebook and Twitter or blog about it before midnight and help turn the virtual world pink. How do you promise to #fightbreastcancer?
3. Use #fightbreastcancer in your statuses pertaining to breast cancer, Susan G. Komen for the Cure® or Breast Cancer Awareness Month several times during the day!
4. And lastly, make your Facebook posts public for the day.
It costs nothing and takes just a minute of your time – or maybe 69 seconds. So blog about it, post it, tweet it, retweet it, use it in all your statuses and urge everyone you know to do the same.
