Okay, I just started a class tonight at church. It is called 'The Great Physician's RX for Health and Wellness' by Jordan Rubin...it is based on the Holy Bible's way to great Health, emotional health and spiritual health. I am already amazed after just one session. So I am on my way I feel to what I have needed for as long as I can remember, an answer to where I supposed to be at this point in my life? Well here, learning this message and then passing it on to as many people that will listen, and that is exactly what I will be doing. I will devote any spare time that I have to this beautiful plan. I will leave you all with these final reasons why You, too should embark on this journey as well....please keep an open mind and listen to your heart, mind and soul.
When you offer your body as a living sacrifice by following God's ultimate health plan, you'll enjoy long life and peace...
When you offer your body as a living sacrifice by following God's ultimate health plan, you'll live an abundant life.
When you offer your body as a living sacrifice by following God's ultimate health plan, you'll honor your family.
When you offer your body as a living sacrifice by following God's ultimate health plan,, you'll honor God.
Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.

Well TGIF Although I do have to work t-nite, I am dropping Jake off with my parents, first time in like eight months, and Mark and I are going out on the town with another couple. I am excited but feeling like we shouldn't spend the money. How often do we get to do this now? Never, so I will try and enjoy myself and forget are my troubles and go DOWNTOWN....hehe have a great weekend!!
Jake was very into the working out today, he really likes working with the resistant bands. He is really pumping it here. How funny is this!!!
''FAILING TO ACHIEVE YOUR GOAL CAN MEAN ACHIEVING YOUR GOAL'
-Anthony Robbins
I know that this is one of those quotes that people will say, CORNY!!! But, set that first instinct aside and really think about it. Your choices you've made, the regrets you have, the crossroads you've met and decided to take an uncharted territory. Think about it in a way that you have never done, think of all your choices the ones that were supposedly bad and switch them to smart in your mind. Now sit with this for a few days, play it out in your head. I will too and get back to you all in a week or so. Get curious about what the emotion is offering you. Because we know that emotions will be affected when you start thinking of the uncharted territory and/or the mistakes you've made. Have a great day. I have no idea if anyone reads this, but it helps me to get things cleared in my ever so busy mind. Jami
HI Everyone, I love this pic of Mark and I. He's wearing his new glasses that cost as much as a down payment on a home...just kidding but pretty close. He loves them, they are both glasses and sunglasses. Anyway, have a great night and love to all!!
I cannot believe Easter has come and gone. I also cannot believe that Jake is going to be three years old in June!! He is so amazing and he is a handful right now!!! I am sad that I haven't been able to get pregnant by now. I also know that God has a plan for me. It is sometimes maddening when we think we know is right for us, but it doesn't work out the way we were hoping!!! I am hoping that I figure out what I am supposed to be doing in my life SOON, I am going nuts trying to figure out if I am supposed to stay in the restaurant business, or do I go back to school and work on my dream of ABC anchor woman? I love being in front of the camera, I just think that I need more than news anchor, I need to help people through television, I know this is totally corny but I want to be inspired as to how I will do this. I am talented and people will talk to me, I just want there to be a purpose behind each story I do. Anyway, love to all!!
"Friends are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly."
This is an email I recieved this morning from a friend that has faced insurmountable difficulties in his life, he never gives up hope. He doesn't expect an explanation of the things that have happened to him, he continues to plug on and strive to find his calling in this world. I think after reading this you'll understand the meaning of friendship and the impact that we can all have in the blink of an eye.
It is NATIONAL FRIENDSHIP week!!!
One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class was walking home from school. His name was Kyle. It looked like he was carrying all of his books. I thought to myself, "Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? He must really be a nerd." I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my
friends tomorrow afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on. As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him. They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt.
His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him. He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes My heart went out to him. So, I jogged over to him as he crawled around looking for his glasses, and I saw a tear in his eye. As I handed him his glasses, I said, "Those guys are jerks. "They really should get lives.
" He looked at me and said, "Hey thanks!" There was a big smile on his face. It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude. I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. As it turned out, he lived near me, so I asked him why I had never seen him before. He said he had gone to private school before now. I would have never hung out with a private school kid before. We talked all the way home, and I carried some of his books. He turned out to be a pretty cool kid. I asked him if he wanted to play a little football with my friends He said yes. We hung out all weekend and the more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked him, and my friends thought the same of him. Monday morning came, and there was Kyle with the huge stack of books again.. I stopped him and said, "Boy, you are gonna really build some serious muscles with this pile of books everyday!" He just laughed and handed me half the books. Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends..When we were seniors we began to think about college. Kyle decided on Georgetown and I was going to Duke.I knew that we would always be friends, that the miles would never be a problem. He was going to be a doctor and I was going for business on a
football scholarship. Kyle was valedictorian of our class.I teased him all the time about being a nerd. He had to prepare a speech for graduation. I was so glad it wasn't me having to get up there and speak Graduation day, I saw Kyle. He looked great. He was one of those guys that really found himself during high
school. He filled out and actually looked good in glasses. He had more dates than I had and all the girls loved him. Boy, sometimes I was jealous! Today was one of those days. I could see that he was nervous about his speech. So, I smacked him on the back and said, "Hey, big guy, you'll be great!" He looked at me with one of those looks (the really grateful one)and smiled. " Thanks," he said. As he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began "Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years. Your parents, your teachers, your siblings, maybe a coach...but mostly your friends... I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give them. I am going to tell you a story." I just looked at my friend with disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to kill himself over the weekend. He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his Mom wouldn't have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home. He looked hard at me and gave me a little smile. "Thankfully, I was saved. My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable." I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy told us all about his weakest moment. I saw his Mom and dad looking at me and smiling that same grateful smile. Not until that moment did I realize it's depth. Never underestimate the power of your actions. With one small gesture you can change a person's life. For better or for worse. God puts us all in each others lives to impact one another in some way. Look for God in others. "Friends are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly." There is no beginning or end.. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. It's National Friendship Week. Show your friends how much you care.
CHARITY
The highest, noblest, strongest kind of love, not merely affection:the pure love of Christ.
-the bible dictionary
How do I add to this to my life...busy I AM alreay, not fufilled in anyway, empty I feel inside, I know that this is what life is about, CHARITY, If there is something that you do on a daily, weekly, monthly or yearly basis, please let me know. I need ideas. I need to find where my calling lies, I am bound and determined to commit to the search of a personal calling.
On another note, look at my little angel, in the field, discovering something new. How beautiful, I am so blessed!!!
If you are close to me then you know how much Mark and I have struggled to be with one another. I have so much admiration for couples that have stood the test of time in marriages that last longer than 20 years. It is unheard of today to see families stick together through extreme times. Without going into detail, our relationship has been tested to extreme heights and sometimes thought to be unbareable, especially to those closest to me. As I grow older, I am for certain, that I have made mistakes. I spoke with Ray last night, I hadn't heard from him in almost six months. He was the first man I ever loved back highschool. We remained close friends over the years even when he lived in Atlanta, Boston and L.A. He shared with me that he had decided almost six months ago to take a step back from our relationship because of the choices I had been making in my life, meaning staying in a relationship that he thought to be unhealthy. I was not living up to my standards as he once knew of me to have and of my desire to succeed. In the past I often spoke to Ray about my problems and would cry to him endlessly. I didn't know what to do, and he would listen and give me the pep talk I needed to make leaps and bounds in so many areas of my life, including leaving the relationship I was in. But, as you may know I did not leave for long. I ended back with him, three times to be exact. At one point I chose to stay through his abuse and then his withdrawal from an addiction he has. I was even scared for my life at one point. The choice was mine and was made after many sleepless nights and lonely years. Most would say that I chose the easy road, but those that truly know what the bible says and believe the vows they take the day they marry, they will have an understanding that Ray will not. I love Ray deeply, and always will have a huge place in my heart for him. In my opinion, I feel that friendships are not based on the judgment of ones decision making process, but of the uplifting of ones soul through spiritual guidance. Knowing this now, I do apologize to Ray and those that saw me through some of the most difficult times in my life. I put you all in a comprmising situation. I knew at the begining of every conversation that I was bound and determined to stay with Mark. I felt that by involving whom ever was home at the time, I was not alone with my choice, even when the choice I made was not yours. You see, through the years as we grow older, our spiritual wisdom, if we choose to enable it through meditaiton and prayer, will enhance our visions of life, family and personal progression. Last year I started therapy with my mom, and came to some pretty astounding personal revelations, including the damage I was doing to my relationships. Involving you all was not fair to you, my husband or to myself. I had no God. I had no Faith. I stood alone and felt alone, even when I asked you all to tell me what to do. I am a woman of the people and learn not from scholarly text, but from the experience, stregnth and hope of those that surround me. I encourage you to begin your spiritual journey and to look within your soul to find where your truth lies. Be not afraid of what you find, be prepared to share what you learn in hopes tha you may find your true destiny. Jami-lee Nelson
