Project 31: My Virtue, My Focus
Today is day 9 and I am asked:
What virtues do you value in yourself?
....
As I took a moment to think about this question,
I found myself feeling a little insecure. I was tempted to not post for this day. Why?
Because the post is all about liking...me.
Yesterday was about me. Days 2, 4, 6 and 8 were all about me, and now I have to write about me again?
I wasn’t sure if I wanted to do it.
Isn't talking about myself this frequently a little
narcissistic and boring?
I have those people in my life that have no problem talking about themselves, but they are interesting.
I'm...just...me.
It is easy for me to talk about things that I find inspirational! To share the things that God has placed into my heart. To share the blessings that I have in my life. It is easy to write about my children, my husband, and projects that I am working on at the house.
But to post about what I like about myself?!
That is insanity, scary, hard!
In fact, I skipped Day 6 because the world's definition of beauty has jaded me and I sometimes don't feel good enough.
It is easier not to talk about the wrong, and so, I did what I always (well almost) always do. I eliminated the negative, the hard stuff, and I focused on the positive.
And I realized, THAT is what I like about me.
I like that I focus on the good stuff. I like that even when I have problems with family, finances, children, and health, I focus on what is positive.
I am not saying that I do not have sad moments. I am not saying that I do not try to "fix" certain issues, but no matter what happens, I always move on, I always get over it, and I always forgive.
I know that this life has too much happiness available to focus on the hurts.
Everything that I had gone through in my previous marriage is the past. Occasionally something will come up and I am like oh my goodness, I dealt with that! But ya know what? I forgot all about it, because I chose to let it go and forgive.
The things that come up in my current marriage can be difficult some days. I could blog about all the issues that arise with blended families and all of the outside factors that affect us, and friends, sometimes I am tempted to, but I don't! I just pray about it, look at things from another's perspective and focus on the good.
Sometimes, I get to a point where I feel like I have done all I can do, and I say, "I'm done, that's all. No more."
BUT
In my heart, I know I am not.
I am full of compassion, empathy and forgiveness. I care too much to quit.
It is my strength and my weakness. I know it is. According to my hubby, it means I sometimes allow people to walk all over me. It means that sometimes, I excuse poor behavior from others. It means that sometimes I spoil our children.
I have thought about this many times and I have come to a conclusion,
I would rather be giving away too much love and forgiveness, than not enough.
I focus on the good stuff.
That is what I value about me.

Project 31: Be-YOU-tiful
Today is Day 8 for Project 31:
Day 8. Have a beauty secret (e.g. hair tip, make up tip)? Share, please!
I have mentioned in the past that I like all things girly (and artsy). I love loud colors with black, A-line dresses, chunky earrings, and shoes that have some flair. My face makeup is pretty minimal, but I usually play up my eyes. They are my favorite feature and have become my focal point. (That's a beauty tip I learned, after my sis-in-law Nancy kept encouraging it.)
I believe in silliness, without it life would be pretty dull. I have been told for years that my laugh is loud and that everyone knows when I am home, because they hear me laughing. A while back my stepdaughter gave me card that said I always have a smile on my face. I don't know about "always" but it felt good to hear, because I try to be happy even on the "gray" days. I know that my my expression, is the most important thing I wear!
I try to get "pretty" every day, even on the weekdays when I am just home cleaning house and doing laundry, I'll add lip gloss and a spray of perfume before my hubby gets home. When I look good, I feel good. I try to keep the romance alive in our relationship and I feel like a beauty routine even on the days that nothing is going on is important.
True beauty is confidence! It's loving the skin that you are in...no matter what people think. I snapped this pic yesterday (after my hubby teased me about my hair.) This is me, with my hair natural. It's a little wavy, but mostly frizzy. I'm working on loving me for me and the 'not caring part', because natural is beautiful and so much easier!
- Another, part of my beauty routine is being in a clean environment. I cannot relax or enjoy myself in a dusty, cluttered living space. The only thing in the house that I will allow to have stuff pile up on, occasionally, is our desks. I like a clean house with a fresh smell. It makes no sense to clean and decorate my body, and then to live in a dirty house. That friends, is my opinion of a "don't".
Last but not at all least, is the old adage, "True beauty comes from within. It's an oldie, but a goody! If you aren't beautiful on the inside, ain't no makeup gonna cover that! I Peter 3:3-4 says, Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight.
Any thoughts on beauty that you would like to share? As always, I'd love to hear them!
Project 31: Who Inspires Beauty & A Guest Post
Today, I am linking up with Mandy at She Breathes Deeply. She started a blog project called Project 31 which is focused on celebrating the beauty of women and Proverbs 31. Today's topic is...
Who inspires beauty?
My Mom.
The bible says that God knows our hearts, and I am sure that when he looks into my Mother’s heart he sees the epitome of beauty; what a woman should be.
A wife of 33 years.
A mother to six (now 11).
A grandmother to 13.
Strong, compassionate, honest, loving, embracing, hardworking, forgiving, fair, selfless, repenting, generous, and so much more…
There is not a memory that I have of my mother that I would not be glad to share with the world.
Even those moments when her eyes were full of tears, her face full of worry, or her mouth turned down with frustration she was filled with dignity, strength and grace.
My mother is a listener. When she does choose to speak about a situation her words are worthy and her intentions are pure.
She prays about everything and encourages all of the women in her life by modeling a Christian life.
As I raise my own children, I find myself always looking back and asking, how would Mom handle this situation?
She is the perfect example of beauty and
of what a woman should be.
I am blessed to call her Mom.
I was given an opportunity to do a guest post for Warren at Family Fountain today. He has a wonderful book that I am reading at the moment and I really enjoy his site. It is always filled with so much wonderful and useful information. If you have a moment please stop in!
Happy Sunday!
Project 31: What Makes Me, Me
Today, I am linking up with Mandy at She Breathes Deeply
She started a bloggy Project called Project 31 which is focused on celebrating the beauty of women and Proverbs 31.
Proverbs 31 is probably the most inspirational verse from the Bible for women. It describes the type of woman that we should aspire to be and I am so thankful to have found Mandy's page, because I think this idea is so wonderful!
Today's post is about what makes me, me. I have decided to use a poem I wrote a few months ago that I feel sums me up pretty well. Sometimes, I think I have (me) down, some days I am just as confused as my husband. :) One thing for sure... is I love this life and I love being a woman.
Because there are so many components that make me, me...I have found that some descriptions tend to almost contradict the other and so a poem was created. :) We are all interesting, complicated and unique and we all have so much to give. Proverbs 31 reminds us just that.

Women.Fighting.Breast.Cancer.
When I think of breast cancer, my first thought is not the disease it is the women. This disease affects over 200,000 lives each year and yet, in spite of these facts it is not the disease that comes to my mind.
First, I think of women. Then I think of the color pink. Then I think of the disease. Strange isn’t it?
First, I think of women. Then I think of the color pink. Then I think of the disease. Strange isn’t it?
Women.
Strong women turned weak.
Weak women turned strong.
Women uniting for a cause.
Women uniting for life.
Women uniting for women.
Women. Fighting. Breast. Cancer.
Women across America show their courage, their strength and their determination each day.
Sadly, some do not beat this disease, but fortunately, others do. Many do. With awareness and with regular check-ups women can beat the odds.
I find myself amazed by these strong women, by survivors! I am featuring a breast cancer survivor and my new bloggy friend in my post for today.
Meet Kathy Davenport.
TEAM DAVENPORT in the 2009 Making Strides Breast Cancer Walk last October
Woman. Daughter. Sister. Wife. Mother. Friend. Christian.
Survivor.
A woman whose life changed in February 2006, because after a routine mammogram, she was diagnosed with stage one breast cancer. Her younger sister had breast cancer 18 years prior to her own diagnosis.
Fortunately, Kathy had no lymph node involvement so she did not have to take chemo. She did have radiation 5 days a week for 6 weeks. After she beat the cancer, she felt stronger in “body, mind and soul.” She believes that each day is a gift and now feels wonderful, healthy, and happy to be alive.
Kathy remembers that fear was the strongest emotion felt during this time in her life. Fear of the unknown. She admits she was worried. However, she was able to use her faith as a crutch.
She said, “I turned to my faith. I always thought I was a Christian, but I learned I truly did believe. The cancer tested my faith and I passed! I knew God was with me no matter what and I was not afraid. I tell people all the time that learning how strong my faith is was the true ‘gift’ of cancer”.
Breast cancer was not the first battle Kathy fought. She lost a son during her 7th month of her first pregnancy, but she pulled through that as well. When life gets tough, she says that she finds her strength in her family, her friends and her faith.
When asked if she had any recommendations for other women, she said that women should turn to God and place EVERYTHING in His hands. They should find doctors that they trust. They should also stay positive and remove themselves from any negativity.
Kathy has been married for 32 years and is the mother to 2 sons and 2 daughters. She has also been blessed with 9 grandchildren.
Kathy's philosophy comes from a quote that she shares with us today, “Every tomorrow has two handles. We can take hold of it with the handle of anxiety or the handle of faith."
She chose faith!
If you have a moment head over to Kathy's page to say, "Hi," to wish her continued wellness and strength or to thank her for her inspiration!

Recognizing Invisible Women
Many wonderful people have been recognized by society, people that we can learn so much from. Yet, there are also many wonderful people who live remarkable lives that will go unnoticed. People whose beauty will only be witnessed by their family and friends. Yet, these remarkable people are not living with the hope that they will be recognized, seen or heard by others. They are not living with the hope that someday they will get the notoriety that they "deserve". They are simply living a life for God, the best way they know how. They are raising families. Teaching children. Loving others.These people, who will go unrecognized by most, do not care. They only want to be recognized by one. By Him. By their God.
These people who put every effort into doing for others. These people that speak kind words, do kind deeds and do all things with love. When I watched this video below it made me think of all of the wonderful women in my life. The women that were at home with their kids day in and day out, loving them, raising them and teaching them. Now that their children are grown they are at home with their grandchildren or taking care of their parents.
I have known many beautiful women. I have grandmothers and aunts who have shown to be just as kind, compassionate, and selfless. My world is filled with beautiful and remarkable people. Remarkable to me. Not because they have lived perfect lives. Not because they have done something that has been recognized by many. Because they live for God. These women are not invisible to me! These women shaped me. These women amazed me. They still do.
I found the video below to be very humbling and inspiring! :)

My Aunt with my mom, 2 remarkable women
The video below made me think of my mom, the most beautiful person I know. I was raised by the most wonderful mother anyone could ever ask for. A loving and compassionate woman. A woman of God. A selfless woman. A devoted wife of 33 years. A selfless mother who gave without ever expecting in return. A woman who even when faced with challenges or disappointment was filled with grace. A mother who many times spent no time on herself or for herself, even when she needed it the most. I have known many beautiful women. I have grandmothers and aunts who have shown to be just as kind, compassionate, and selfless. My world is filled with beautiful and remarkable people. Remarkable to me. Not because they have lived perfect lives. Not because they have done something that has been recognized by many. Because they live for God. These women are not invisible to me!
