"I believe we can find our steady footing and stilling of the soul by turning away from physical preoccupations, superwoman accomplishments, and endless popularity activities, and returning instead to the wholeness of our soul, that unity in our very being that balances the demanding and inevitable diversity of life."- mom (Chris Ellsworth)
Thanks, mom! I miss you.

How nice to have those treasures from your mom. :)
thank you...it is just the enlightenment that I needed as well!
Wow. I love that quote. Just yesterday the spirit whispered to me (when I was outside doing yard work, of all things) that my kids would benefit from a DRASTIC reduction of TV in the home. Which I am fine with. Until I heard further whisperings of the spirit that involved ME getting less TV. Which apparently I have a problem with. I never watch it during the day, but by 8:30 when the kids are in bed, Pie and I dip into our Tube Storage (things Tevo'd) and veg out on the couch together. It's one of our favorite things. It used to just be one or two evenings a week, but now it is a solid 5-6 nights a week. I have actually thought of you, dear friend, and said to myself "I bet Becky spends her evenings much more productively". And I know you do.
So. We'll be turning over new leafs here. I'll let you know how it goes.
your mom's wisdom: ageless, timeless and PRICELESS.
What a great find! How awesome to have those wonderful things of your mother's to cherish. Thanks so much for sharing.
Amen, Momma Ellsworth! So true!
...and no wonder--she raised almost a dozen kids! You have to focus on the family and not become so preoccupied with those other distractions to such a large degree. Thanks for the reminder:)
