Finish This

This is my 1st link up that I've participated in since getting back into blogging.  One of my friends, Jen {The Arizona Russums} is a host so I figured I'd give it a shot this weekend. I have some free time today which means it's a great time for me to do a bit of networking. I can't wait to check out some of the other ladies who have linked up this week. Don't forget to stop by and say hey to the other co-hosts Nicole {Three 31}, Becky {The Java Mama} & Lisa {Coastlined}.

This weeks prompts were:

A lesson I learned from my Mom: One of the biggest lessons I took from my Mom was the act of selfless love. I have an older sister that my mother gave up for adoption 3 years before I was born. She didn't give her up because she didn't want her, she gave her up because she knew she couldn't provide for her and that my sister deserved a better life. That decision was an act of selflessness. It broke my Mother's heart, BUT, she knew it was best. I often remind myself of this lesson when I feel myself being selfish.


To burn calories, I: go to the gym or swim. I wish I could say I run, but, that is something I am slowly working on.


My best hair day was: I don't really get many awesome hair days. My hair is extremely thin and flat so any day that I have a bit of volume, I am happy! I think I look best with shorter hair as it keeps my hair healthier. I feel most beautiful when I have some chunks in my hair!

 
I am grateful for: my life. It has definitely been a roller coaster of highs and lows, but, I know God has a plan and I am grateful to be living it. I am blessed with an amazing boyfriend, 2 healthy, adorable step sons, a Dad who is beyond proud of me, my fur-babies and an amazing support system of great friends and family.
