Leading a successful flock

Leading a successful flock
Be mindful of who you are following. By no means develop a skeptical temperament towards authority, but consider the quality of the leadership before you. Are you allowing informed consent to be the rule of your actions rather than blindly following? If not, educate yourself, follow your instincts, and speak up! As a parent or friend, you have a great responsibility to lead your family and friends in the right direction. Take the initiative to review the path you're taking your loved ones down and revise it to make the healthiest and most mutually beneficial choices for everyone.

Deep thought

A friend shared this on face book and honestly it's kind of stumped me. This is truly deep and thought provoking. What do you think of this?

Not getting better

I didn't sleep well last night. My husband is with the National Guard and he is currently in Cordova helping dig the town out after massive amounts of snow. I have trust issues. Hey there's something a lot of people can say. Anywho, I don't sleep well unless I feel safe. I spent 8 1/2 years with my baby boy. My big husky/wolf/lab dog. I felt safe with him. We used to go hiking at 3am in bear country and I never once worried. As long as Zeus was with me I felt safe. Well Zeus has been gone for 2 years now, or almost 2 years. It'll be 2 years on the 30th. When my husband is gone I don't sleep very well because I don't feel safe. Even with 3 large dogs in the home. Although seeing as Ares is still under 60 pounds I have a hard time calling him a "large dog" plus he's just a puppy still and none of the dogs I currently have are of Zeus' calabur. His sister is pretty good though. She's only 90 pounds where he was 110 to 120.

This is now where I wanted this to go though. I'm really tired and I'm going to go take a nap. I'll write more later.

Morning Glory

I just finished watching "Morning Glory" What a great movie. These are the kinds of movies I love. The ones that leave you happy, inspired. Where at the end of the movie you feel empowered to go do something great, to follow your dreams, to not take no as an answer, to go forth when people say to turn back. Those are the best movies, the ones that leave you in the frame of mind that says "hey, I can do anything." That's what I love. That feeling of being uplifted and encouraged. You can do anything. Go forward, go, go do something you love. Don't listen to the judgment of others. That negativity comes from people who are too scared to take that first step themselves. Go. Fly. Accomplish your dreams. It's never to late to start.
