WHAT IF ?
After much thought and life experience I want to start what I would call a NEW BLOG. . . How many of you have ever wondered What if ? What if your child ruined there best shirt with mud and you couldn't get it out - AAAAAHHHH! well Mama J has a solution to that, how you may ask yourself? I have had 4 children 3 boys and 1 daughter and have experienced many What If's in my life. So What if you were sick to death of how your front room looked and you had no money to change it? WEELLLL, I am a decorating efficianado I love to take something old and make it look new, I like to go to good will and look at the 'bones' of an item and come home and breath new life into a piece of furniture. What if your child was diagnosed with Autism? Well I have had this happen and I could give you a wee bit of hope as to where to begin the first steps to take after you let the feeling pass that you have been hit by a train. What if your husband has an affair? Well I can offer the pros and cons as to weather you should stay married or not (I will never tell you to get divorced but I can listen) I have been through the journey. I have forgiven and stayed married and then on the second affair, well I am now a single mom. What if you were diagnosed with an incurable illness? I can offer a few words of hope because I have Multiple Sclerosis and I live with the Dr.s appointments, the medications, the shots, the physical pain, and the mental pain. What if you had a child that became involved in shall I say a form of substance abuse? Well I can offer only the journey that I have been on but also some of the tools that I put in my tool box that helped me an my family to get through that time. What if when your husband left he declared bankruptcy and that means you declared bankruptcy too? Sooo I have a wee bit of advice on how to take this sad journey. What if you wanted to purchase a home? Well I was a loan officer for 7 years and I have a lot of knowledge on how to purchase a home and how to evaluate your credit. What if you had re-decorated so many homes that your family said NO MORE painting! I took up photography. I have been shooting for 5 years. So if you love people, if you love nature, if you love looking at things in just a little bit different way than I could offer just a little bit of help on how to start shooting. Are you ready to start a fantastiticly fun journey called . . . LIFE. Lets rock and roll. Mamma J

Jane....You are an inspiration to all! You're like the EverReady bunny "that takes a lickin' but keeps on a tlickin'!"
ReplyDeleteI would never have gotten into my house if it weren't for you guiding me through the whole process. I'll be eternally grateful.
I was fortunate to have taught three of your four children (all of whom were delightful first graders). Two of the bonuses that came with that each year were getting to know you and becoming friends, and having you come into the classroom once a week to read stories to my students with all of the drama and expression of a professional storyteller!
By your life's example, you are teaching each one of your children, however grown up he/she may be, to be a strong individual who never gives up and who can find a bright spot even in the darkest of challenges. Love you lots!!! Cindy <3 <3 <3
