Good Morning Sunshines! “Let a wife make the husband glad to come home, and let him make her sorry to see him leave.” ~ Martin Luther
T.M.I. Friday….Let me tell ya about my Hubby! He is my best friend and one of the strongest men I’ve ever known. We fell in love because of the common goals we had in life and our love for poker. It amazes me how he will say “I’m going to do ______”, and do it. His will power is amazing. I will get jealous because he has no problem giving up food or starting something new and sticking to it. Discipline is not something he lacks. I’m very attracted to his mind. I have been told that this is called sapiosexual. (A sapiosexual is someone who finds sexual stimulation from the way a person’s mind works. It means you literally are attracted to intelligence.) Yup, I find it very sexy!
One of the things I love most is his heart. He says he lacks empathy and there has been times where this has been shown, but with strangers. However when it comes to family and close friends I have seen him love unconditionally. One of my favorite things he does is, when I’m having a moment because I have given out so much he will speak words of affirmation over me. We call this “Good Stuff”. There are times when I will come up to him and say, “Babe, I need good stuff,” and he will speak back life into me. He will say things like, “You are an amazing wife, friend and mother. I love how you love on people.” Things like that. I am thankful that I have someone who will speak love into me, because the world does not always do that.
I still get butterflies when I know he’s on his way home, like when I knew he was on his way over to pick me up for a date. I still see fireworks every time we kiss and my knees go weak. When he holds my hand it calms me like nothing and no one could. We call our bed our island. When we are there nothing and no one can get to us. This is our safe place where we can have conversations, “pillow talk,” that might be hard to have, but in this safe place we have made life changing decisions. I am so thankful that I have my best friend to walk through life with. I get excited thinking about all the places we will go together and all the things we get to do together. I plan to live to be 101 and when we are looking back at our lives and still holding hands I will forever be grateful that I did it all with him. My hubby is some of the best Good In My Life.
Good Morning Sunshines! While I was on my hiatus of writing and planning my daughter’s wedding, I received a few DM’s (direct messages) from random people letting me know they missed me writing and really liked my TMI Fridays. Thank you to those who reached out to check on me and letting me know you enjoy my almost daily post.

Good Morning Sunshines! I’m back! My daughter is married! The wedding was amazing and I have recovered. I’m looking forward to talking with all of you again.
Good Morning! Growing up I remember my mom and dad would tell me to watch out for who I was hanging out with. Onlookers would assume I was like them even if I wasn’t. I was lucky to make amazing friends at 12 and keep them for over 30 years. However, as I had kids, I would tell them the same thing. It wasn’t until I was an adult and going into business that I understood why hanging around the right people mattered. Though I still have these life long friends, I got married, had kids before they did, and moved away. My circle of influence changed as my career and goals changed. Just a few months ago my family and I were sitting at a table with people I never thought I would be in the same room with. My son-in-law tweeted that evening that his life was so weird from where he thought he would be. If he only knew I was feeling the same way. The conversations for these multi millionaires wasn’t just about cars and houses it was about “The Why”. Why they do what they do and who they were looking to help in the new year and how they could help others do the same. My dreams and goals were expanded that night. As I sat at the table I realized that I would never have had this conversation with my best friends. Not because we didn’t want to help others, but because our lives had gone in different directions and these goals were not theirs. My husband stretches me every day with his vision and what he/we will do next. One of my favorite quotes is by Mark Twain, “Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that,but the really great make you feel that you too can become great. When you are seeking to bring big plans to fruition it is important with whom you regularly associate. Hang out with friends who are like-minded and who are also designing purpose filled lives. Similarly be that kind of friend for your friends. ”
