  • Notes to Myself Today: 
1. Don’t hold on to a mistake just because you spent a long time making it.
2. Never stop being a good person because of bad people. 
3. No matter how long you have traveled in the wrong direction, you can always turn around. 
4. Not responding is a response. 
5. Complaining is not conversation.

  • Back in 2013 when I started going to MD Anderson (best hospital ever) I created some little notes to post in bathrooms. I originally created them before my surgery because I prepared a little list of RAOK (random acts of kindness) for my daughter Madison and her sweet friends who spent my brain surgery day with her to do. (I loved thinking of them performing acts of kindness at MD Anderson instead of just sitting and worrying about me for 12 hours.) Ever since then I've kept some of the notes in my purse along with some washi tape and I put them up each time I visit MDA for follow up visits. I always stop at every bathroom I pass and seek out bathrooms in all areas of the building on the way to my appointments.

My prayer as I hang each one is that God would bring the person who needs to see it and be reminded that they are strong and loved and brave to that specific bathroom stall.  Before my trip this week I decided to make some new notes to post. If you'd like to print some out yourself, you can find all of these notes (plus others) at the bottom of the post here: https://bit.ly/2Uwnobl Link in profile.

  • 24 years ago was the single BEST day of my life. On June 10, 1996 God gave me the desire of my heart & I became a mama to my precious, sweet, baby girl Madison Blair. For years I prayed for God to bless me with a child because my heart's desire was to be a mama above all else. Through the years of fertility treatments, shots, tears, medical bills, & great disappointments, we prayed continually & fervently 1 Samuel 1:27 “For this child I prayed; and the Lord hath given me my petition which I asked of him.” Countless times over those 24 years I've thanked God for making me wait because if He had answered my prayer at any other time- I wouldn't have this amazing girl of mine. She's truly my greatest earthly blessing and I thank God daily for her. She burst into this world at 10 till 10 (on the 10th) with a head full of black hair as a long answered prayer & has truly been a joy & a treasure every day since (well, maybe not a few of those snarky middle school days 😉). Here are just a few of my favorite things about her: 
1. She loves BIG, fiercely and with her whole huge heart.
2. She is genuine, spontaneous, always up for an adventure, & LOVES playing games, doing puzzles and reading! 
3. She's a fabulous combo of witty, smart, humble, kind, sarcastic & sassy all rolled into one beautiful package.
4. She loves traveling, her friends, Baylor, sports, Law & Order, the Bachelor/ett, queso, naps, the Cowboys, Sonic, coffee, soft blankets, pancakes, charcuterie boards, dogs, wine & Chuy’s. 
5. She is a relentless encourager, a faithful & loyal friend, & has a true servant's heart. 
6. She super passionates, loves traditions and is all in for any reason to celebrate! 
7. She LOVES ice cream, vegetables and oatmeal cookies, HATES chocolate and bees, and would do absolutely ANYTHING for those she loves. 
8. She is the BEST gift giver EVER because she is crazy observant and pays close attention to what people say. 
9. She loves God deeply & passionately & pursues Him relentlessly- striving to serve Him daily with her life. 
10. She pushes those in her life towards Jesus and humors & indulges her mama even when I drive her crazy.
