So I love quotes. I write down a lot of inspirational quotes. Take pics of funny quotes. I always lose track of them and if I see them again love them all over (probably because I have forgotten it was said to me the day before!!) However, the older I get the one that is a general, overall, for everyone quote that I love is:
Dance - like no one is watching
Love - like you have never been hurt
Sing - like no one is listening
Live - as though heaven is on earth
The older I get the less I care about what anyone else thinks. I still have a LONG Way to go on this journey, but I am starting to enjoy living somewhere that no one knows me. I sing at the top of my lungs in my car at stop lights instead of stopping in case someone sees me, I wear pjs and slippers to run places, if I am not getting out of the car (although this one may not be an improvement lol) I even walked into a restaurant to eat in my bathing suit and cover up...NEVER would have happened before. Again, not having a bathing suit body, this may not be an improvement, but not being as restricted and anal as I have been in the past is a good thing, I think.

Destiny isms
My grand daughter has a lot of spunk. She can give you a look and a sarcastic word like nobody else!!
Kimberly was asking about something this last year (not sure the date but had to be sometime between September 2015 and August 2016), I asked to talk to Destiny. I asked Destiny to go down to my room (in Utah) and look for something for her mama. I explained what it looked like, where it was, what it was by etc. I asked if she had found it and she said no. I could tell nothing was moving around so I expressed that she would need to go in my room, move stuff around, and actually look. Destiny in all of her glory, not even a pause, says, "then we have a problem"
Well, after I picked myself up from the floor, laughing, I asked her why we would have a problem, and she said, "because I just painted my nails"!!! I love that girly girl!
Another wonderful thing that she loves to do -
Christina bought me a minecraft subscription so I could play with the kids and grandkids.
Destiny likes me to get on with her and play Hide and Seek. Now, anyone who has been on Minecraft knows that you can walk forever and not reach the end, big big world, but I am a grandma, so...ok, lets play.
I can hardly ever find her, but one time I could see her name. (the name is posted above their head so you know who they are) But I could not find her no matter how many times I went around and around. So I started digging, and what do I find in the middle of the rock mountain, yes, the little bugger had dug a hole in the middle and buried herself. Well that is fair!!!
So she finally says, after several times of playing, it is my time to hide. I run and run and low and behold she is right behind me....found me 3 times in a row without a problem! imagine that!! So then, I teleport and she cannot find me...REALLY??? A lot harder when you do not follow them to the hiding spot eh? she says, yes lol
So tonight we are playing and I just cannot find her. She is in about her 3rd hiding spot and I asked for a clue. She says in a home, ok, so I start looking in homes, she says near your home, so I head the opposite direction I had been going and look everywhere. Homes, sheds, pig pens etc. I am now looking on the grounds...I finally give up and say, I just cannot find you, she says, "I changed spots"
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?????? LOL oh man, this is way more fun than playing in a small house or backyard in real life!!!!!!!!!!

Day 1 - Introduction and Photo
This is me!! (Not Recent)
Oh, well I do not know where my photo flash drive is...guess that will have to wait.
I am 52 and 5 months, yikes! Time is going so dang fast.
I live in Kingwood Texas (suburb of Houston) at this particular moment.
I am attending college at UOP, online, and since coming to TX I have earned 4 A's, 2 A-'s, 1 B+, and 1 B.
I am not doing much other than that. I am grateful for the opportunity to finish school and do a good job at it because other parts of life are not as stressful.
I have had an opportunity to travel quite a bit this last year and a few months. Again, another blessing that I never thought I would get to have.
I miss my kids and grandkids immensely but they are living their own lives and this is a good thing for me and for all of us. Not sure what else is in store for me but for now I am loving most parts of this phase.

Jamie Haubner
I found out today that a friend I have not seen for a long time passed away 4 years ago. I am in Missouri for the first time and that is where she lived, so I wanted to look up and see how close I was to her. I was in shock to instead, find her obituary. She was only 50.
I met Jamie when we moved into the Pleasant Grove house that we called the Wiscombe home, (that was the name of our landlords). She home schooled her children, played violin I believe it was, very well. Was chorustor at church, ate very healthy natural food, and just smiled and made you feel good. Very down to earth, priority was Heavenly Father and doing what needed to be done to be closer to Him.
Jamie was a good friend and confidant. With that, I still had not told her my whole story. One day, after we had moved away, she and I went to the Timpanogas temple together. We were sitting in the celestial room and I felt impressed to tell her my story. We sat in there for a long time and laughed and cried, and amazingly enough, she knew someone that was working closely with Nedra. She asked if I wanted her to introduce us, I said yes. This was just one of the amazing things that came of Heavenly Father placing her in my life. Jamie introduced me to Scott Lazerson and Scott asked if he could come over with Tarah's nanny. I of course said yes. Scott talked to me a couple of times and told me stories about Tarah asking about her real mother. He also told me about her disliking her size of foot and wondered who gave her the size 9 feet!! The former nanny started crying right when she saw me, I asked if she was ok and she said you just look so much like her.
Jamie made that happen. Because she did, I found out immediately when Tarah died, Jamie is the one who called me. She knew about my connection with Tarah for a very short time before Tarah died, and I probably would not have found out for quite a while without her. As it was, I was able to drive down and be in the vicinity for the funeral.
The last time I saw Jamie was a couple of years after she had moved to Virginia Beach VA with her family. They had been there for a while and she loved it. They did not take very many possessions and she was loving the new aspect of her life. She was playing violin (pretty sure that is what it was) for a local orchestra and loving that also. They were talking about moving to Missouri near Steves family and she was not at all sure she wanted to do that, she was so at home in Virginia. She was trying to work that out. We had gone to a park in Cedar City/Highland area that we called the Minnow Park because the kids caught minnows in the lake. We sat and talked forever. She insisted on rubbing my feet while we talked, she was learning a new methodology of something and just had to try it on me. The foot rub felt good but I told her I felt so funny having her do that. She dismissed that with a smile. I will forever remember that day, the sun, the talking, laughing, always some crying happy and sad, and the foot rub.
What a great lady, someone I had admired for how she was living her life, struggling like us all, but choosing the right. One of those ladies that fit the saying, Make Satan say, oh no, shes awake again.
I imagine she is making heaven a much better place to be, and I hope she gave Tarah a hug when she arrived, and talked for a while.
