Credit Card Fraud

Have you ever wondered about Credit Card Fraud. We should be more aware of what the crooks are coming up with. There is a new function on credit cards that is called RFID. In the video it states what it is.
Save yourself from Credit Card Fraud.

Ash Wednesday!

So as we celebrate Ash Wednesday there are a few things that we forget to remember, of course today as we the good catholics are NOT suppose to eat meat. back in t he day we were to fast but I think that in time we have got over that belief as everyone starved on Ash Wednesday. Today no we eat without the meat in our diet. So as I sit today and I am eating salad, wondering just how long that is going to last me for the day. AND of course we MUST go get the ashes, I have told the girls every year that the reason we go get them is to be blessed and it will help us on the right path. NOW as they are older they are wondering what are really wondering what the true meaning is behind the catholic belief and that they are learning that in CCD or as it has been changed to Faith Formation. Last night we had a discussion abut that we were going to give up that was important to us OR what we are going to chang
e to better ourselves. SO yes you are wondering what I chose, WELL I have chose to take away negative thoughts and actions in my life. I am now practicing POSITIVE POSITIVE POSITIVE. As we were going around the I realized as the girls were going to give up, sweets, fighting, Maddie said apply herself more in school, which is great and she does a great job anyway. Then it was my turn and instead of just to give something up for 6 weeks, I want to make a life change. So yes you will see the inspiration as well the encouraging words and not only for you but also for me to remind me of my new lok on life and how I handle it. Maybe will be a year goal of mine to change or add  a positive way of life every year at Lent. However the true meaning is to give up something that is very important to you or means well. I have already accomplished that with NO Credit Cards! Good luck with your Lent Season and God Bless to all of you!

If Things Aren't Going RIGHT, Turn Left!

Journaling

Pay It Forward, have we thought about it? I let someone cut in front of me and then smile at them today. Just a nice gesture. I am still waiting for that opportunity that I can really help someone. I am reaching out for help myself. trying to find the fit with balance, work, etc. I have started putting all my thoughts on paper and it seems to really help me as I get those thoughts down on paper and it is not clogging my mind all day with negative or even positive thoughts. Helps me clear my mind!

Find something to help you relax and free your mind! How many journal? What do you do with the filled journals? I had plans to start on January 1 but did not however I am not that late in the year started on 2/15/12.

Fat Tuesday!

The girls always ask " Mom what are you" Lovely question don't you think, but I do however know what they are asking. Yes I am Acadian with a touch of Irish. Ernie on the other hand is Full Czech. We say "Lassaiz le bon temps roulez", which in translation means let the good times roll. It is Fat Tuesday and the end of the Mardi Gras Season and going into lent Season!

For a brief Explanation. Mardi Gras, literally "Fat Tuesday," has grown in popularity in recent years as a raucous, sometimes hedonistic event. But its roots lie in the Christian calendar, as the "last hurrah" before Lent begins on Ash Wednesday. That's why the enormous party in New Orleans, for example, ends abruptly at midnight on Tuesday, with battalions of streetsweepers pushing the crowds out of the French Quarter towards home.

The season along with the Christmas Season is my favorite. However I have never been to the Mardi Gras in NOLA. Maybe one day, it is on my bucket list!

So Enjoy the local area restaurants celebration's tonight and for my catholic friends and Family, Happy Lent Season and wishing well during this time.
Now I have to think of what I want to give up.............................Will post that tomorrow along with history!

Marriage Pay It Forward

In Marriage there are times when you get distant, self absorbed and distracted. In my Pay It Forward challenge I am also going to make a point to do the "little things"compliment, note, gesture, etc. my husband everyday. I think that it is important to do so. After years of marriage it sometimes seems to be on way side that those things are nice and well accepted!
We often seem to take for granite our spouses and tend to have them on back burner, find the spark again, be kind and gentle and respect and trust!
