                                                December 2011!  January 2012!

Many blessings to you .. Can you believe another year is going by!

I hope 2011 has treated you all well It has been a busy busy year for us.. I am very grateful for many things of course. I guess this season is really the time to focus on that!

I amit I like to take some time regularly and just meditate and really try to focus on what I am most grateful for.. But it is this time of year I like to really talk about it.. I like to encourage others to think about what makes them happy and what they are grateful for?! Its easy in life regular crazy sessions to get down on the bad stuff.. We can forget the good things, and the thing we do have that make things just better!

I guess like you probably know there are bad things with life BUT keeping positive on the beauty that surrounds us, the travel the communications the knowledge the wisdom we really can learn and witness! 

I'm grateful of course for my little cottage home We love it and have been scurring around our home making it ours .. with our little personalized touches lol growing our gardens planting a few trees, building a deck in the back laying grass down.. making the back yard look like a back yard from a driveway wasnt easy but it was alot of fun~!

Im grateful for of course our new addition to our family my second son!! and his safe entrance in the world .. May they both be protected and watched over! Please always!

Im grateful for boy my boys! My 3 year old is a bundle of running fun! Exploring the world now and enjoying his little baby brother soo much!! Thank you everyone who sent me the blessings the best wishes! The prayers Everything!

I am grateful for my hubby a great man who is patient and loving and hard working man in the medical field helping people every day!  And taking sometime off on paternity to help me out

I am so grateful for my pets!

the kind locals I have come across with!

My friends and family.... 

And of course everyone I talk too and work with .. Whether its a short conversation or A regular talk! I enjoy and treasure evryone I communicate with all the neat things I learn about the places everyone lives! and their lives and their experiences. The neat pictures people send me the postcards, the cards.... just everything! It truly is a small world no matter where we are from!@ I treasure every moment, every thing that is shared with me! And I thank The higher powers everyday for this experience and that they help me help people everyday! and continue!

I encourage people to share what your grateful for

The next order of business is of course my Christmas charity! Every year! I like to really choose something to focus on I take a chunk of proceeds towards donating to something

I did cancer society.. which is very dear to my heart to help out!

I chose plan Canada the one year which I thought was really a neat one and still may donate a fruit tree again somewhere! I donated money to buy a few trees in school yards to help feed and shade the children.. which I thought was really neat!!!! I thought very practical as well!

And a few other things!   so many people have helped us out that last year I really wanted to work on local charities so we cleaned out our kitchen cupboard gave away at least 1.2 of my wardrobe and shoes and baby stuff just things to help put  others gae away some furniture! Just alot of things to alot of good people

Now this year being in a new community Which we love!! It is soo much smaller!! and everyone is just extra nice! We really wanted to help in a few areas such as the local food drive, and the town collection for winter jackets and winter gloves and hats! Even my little guy has been helping out!!   as we donated alot of his toys he doesnt use and didnt use away to 2 families that had nothing because of various situations!

We have been so blessed and trust me we dont have alot But because of that I feel more blessed then ever! And even little things that we have faced our community has supported us helped us.. such as all of Hunter's (my son's baby clothing) being thrown away by accident forgetting it was his at my parent in laws... stressful times.. but so many people helped us in our community and his work!! not to mention my pregnancy not being the most fun and I wasnt always able to work doing this and even many of you guys  being there to listen and understood sent listened to what was going on and kept me in your prayers in certain situations as I have most defintily for you! 

It has been a good year but a hard one as life so frequently is!  With cancers and sicknesses show their ugly face in my family as well but we stay positive and hope for the best and pray and be grateful for all that we have   .... 

This year we have yet again cleared our cupboard and shared the food we can! I think I will be going thru all of our clothes in a few months once Syler gets a bit bigger!!! Just so I can pay it forward!!!!

We have also decided to continue on with our other issue we learned and realized moving to this small community... There are alot of stray kitties around here.. there are alot of open fields and water as well being by Lake Erie!  Alot of cats roam.. which we dont have a problem with .. I just worry about people as I love cats and would never ever want a human to lay a hand on them!  I fear this the most .. that and cars of course...  And the odd animal that can hurt them! They do live in colonies and many peple take them in I noticed ...which, I want to add  we are grateful for these people as well!   But there are alot of cats who are not fixed* I learned this fall about a program where they believe that the cats are better off out there .. they live as a colony and they generally find somewhere safe.. They just dont believe in sending them to a shelter.. where here*  there is a over population !!! And unfortunately they are known for putting down many cats daily because of over population This group believes they are fine and its better then being killed! But to just trap and fix and return! And they help build shelters for them which is nice as well!!! 

We have seen soo many cats around.. Now the thing about these style of cats is they were most of them abandoned along time ago ... or never seen a home this is why this is the case as well most of them arent really adoptable... And those that are they try to adopt them out!

But most are.. Actually there is a day in October its called National Feral day!! This si how I really learned about this!

I would have a slue of cats if I could afford it lol!!! I would! and if I had a bigger place! and this area is deadly to me because of this...

Because all I want to do is help them all! So we have been trying!

Actually I have fixed 2 cats now.. but they were kitties .. we were able to bring them into our home and get their shots ...In there nesting area where they lived we have been feeding the rest that live there! there are at least 3 more then we can tell and have seen... The two we have gotten were at very young ages about 12 weeks the the sister she was the easiest she now has all her shots and she is now fixed and been part of our family for a few months now! We call her Hope!.. Her brother took a bit longer to coax.. we managed to get him as a kitten too at about 16 weeks!  We are getting him done on the 8th all completed!!  these cats were both young and really the easiest! and have become part of our family! We cant have anymore unfortunately! BUT we have been trying to coax the rest of the 3 not to keep because they likely will never beable to  be house cats.. We havent been able to do more then see them honestly... and arent sure if thats all.. but we are working on it being our goal next year to get their shots and fix them before May rolls around.. hopefully preventing more cats in the area.

So to do this I am taking $2.00 every bracelet I sell towards their spay and nuetering! and just donating a proceed of readings towards this project~!!!!  I certainly think its a great group and concept

We are still doing things for different charities like the local mitten hat and winter coat drive!!! and the food drive we did!!!!

But we are huge animal lovers here!!! and there is a big problem with over population of unloved animals here I guess we just feel we have done alot already.. but there is still more we hope to do!!!

here are the pictures of the two cats the sister and brother! Hope and Luv*
