A poem by dear TJ

I am

I am a boy who likes computers
I wonder why people curse alot
I hear alot of insulting
I see people getting insulted everyday
I want the madness to stop
I am a boy who likes computers

I pretend to be a leader on video games
I feel angry when I get insulted
I touch space as I move around

I worry about pollution in the air
I cry when someone dies
I am a boy who likes computers

I understand that people make poor choices
I say respect anyone and everyone
I dream for the hatred to stop
I try to be a leader on games
I hope to see no wars in the future
I am a boy who likes computers.


This is a poem my oldest son wrote for an assignment for school. When I read it I cried. He has had problems with a couple boys in his class bullying him. Calling him names, just saying mean things. He has always been so sensitive. I am truley grateful to have my kids. They are good hearted kids. Just thought Id share because I am so proud.

If you had one wish!

Meet Shane



Shane Bernier is a courageous seven-year-old boy from Lancaster, Ontario who was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia when he was only five. On June 6th, 2006 Shane and his family received some unfortunate news: Shane experienced a relapse after completing 108 of 130 weeks of treatment.

However, despite the bad news, Shane has managed to keep a positive outlook on his situation and has made a heart-warming wish... He hasn’t asked for money or toys or anything of the sort. Instead, his birthday is on May 30th and he would like to break the world record for the most birthday cards ever received. His goal is 350 million cards. With every card, Shane’s courage grows. Something as simple as sending a birthday card could be enough to help Shane find peace and joy in his current circumstances.

Please take the time to send a card to Shane and make his dream become a reality. Share his story with your friends, family and co-workers. If at all possible, get your youth groups, church congregations, employees, neighbours or communities to set aside a few minutes to write a thoughtful note to Shane.

With every card, Shane’s smile grows...

To send a birthday card click here for info. Or drop off your cards to Devine Memories no later than the 20th of May and we will send them out for you.

Lets make Shanes Birthday one to remember.

There is Hope

HOPE. In this world today sometimes that simple word gets lost. But today while watching Oprah I found hope again. Not so much for me but for the world in general. Hope that there are truley GOOD people out there who show unconditional love for people they dont even know. For babies and young girls in trouble. This woman Debbe started an organization 10 years ago called project cuddle A nonprofit organization ran out of her home commited to saving abandoned babies and helping scared mothers who for what ever reasons felt alone. Her organization has saved over 500 babies. My eyes just filled with tears. What a feel good topic. What an inspiration. This is the role model I want for my daughter. For my sons.

Im playing

Please excuse my blog. Im trying to improve but have seem to have lost stuff. Thank goodness I have computer guys in my house.

HOT HOT HOT

Boy its hot here. I think it got up to 95 degrees yesterday. Yikes. Summer is coming at us fast. Living here in Az the best way to cool down is to jump into a swimming pool. Well since we dont have one of those, we substituted this baby pool to help keep the doggies cool. They LOVE the water. Especially Luke. We have to keep him out of bathrooms when people are showering or he will end up in there with them:) Heres a quick picture. The pool is a little small we realized but they still had fun.




Off to do some cleaning for a few hours so I can create some fun new things tonight.
