New Beginnings



Its only right that this should titled that. We all hope for new beginnings at the New Year. I so want that too. I hoping for good things to come, although some will be harder to grab into and other easier.
One thing is for sure, I am making this easier for me this year. I starting weight watchers with dad. It will be easier with a support system. Also I staying focus thru the fog. I will finish and have BSHD even if I have to go crazy for the rest of this year to do it. Third relationships! I am going to keep track of my friends this coming year. I feel like I haven't done my best job of balancing college and relationships between myself and those I love most. While I am working on this my own relationship with other people will be broaden; I will date and be happy. The leaves work, I love the kids, hate some of grown ups. Its a challenge that I most face in everyday life, yes life sucks eggs once in awhile. But thru the dust there is light. I can barely see it now, but I feel like this year I will be holding into the light for me and others around me to see.
Ok enough of that! Moving on. I knitted this beautiful sweaters for my youngest 2nd cousins. I hope they will enjoy them in the New Year. Luv SHARLA xoxo

2010 a year that I slowly won't forget. It started with me recovering from surgery. Then drifted into my pursuit to return to college. With my dream half realize, my hands and eyes tired from studying or writing, and bigger dreams to come. Makes me realize that I can do it. I won't say this year has been easy because, yes I thought about quitting but I keep thinking of what I want and how to achieve that! The only way is to continue and believe in myself. I have one more year to completing this part of my vision quest. In a way my realization isn't any different than Jonathan T. in the book called "A tribe Apart". Where he goes to the wilderness. For he its a rite of passage. Something that he must do as a Native American. The only differnce my vision came back to me at the hospital four days versus hiking into solitude for four day. Like Jonathan my vision made me realize what was important, not to take those around me for granted. Jon did not like when his mother offered him two loaves of bread, she know that he needed to fast, but he compromised and took one loaf. As he sat one day and made a meal and realize how bad it was, he took his loaf a bread and ate some, he realize how foolish he was and then thought about how he has been acting around his mother lately, especially when it came to discussing college.

Noschoolvember


I cant believe another month rushed by me. I can't believe that after November 14th, I will have exactly one year left to get BS in Human Development. Its crazy to think I am halfway done.
Well my garden is finished for the year and I am already thinking ahead of next year garden or lack of next year garden. I now more focus on knitting projects. Thats doesn't mean that any of them will get finished.

Here comes the tomatoes



Here comes the rain, here comes the tomatoes. My garden is coming to a close. Only few onions, tomatoes, and potatoes remain. I got a new addition to my family. I have been calling it my mini me, lol. Wait no joke. Its my new gadget for college. As you know, that is taking up lots of my time and energy. I have decided that is my only goal for now.

College Life!

Hello Everyone,

For those who don't know...I started going to Warner Pacific in April. Hence the lack of updates on my blog. If all goes to plan, I should be finished in late fall of next year.

Sadly, my garden hasn't done very well, I think I will blame this ugly weather we are having. It really makes me think about moving away to a warmer climate.

And knitting my second passion in life has really taken a back burner since college started; I was able to finish a neck warmer for my mother for a mother's day present that was two weeks late!!!

Lastly, I hope everyone is doing well...And wish me luck on my adventure, I going to need it! Shar.

March Garden






Hello Friends,

The first photo is a plant my mother got for grandmother's birthday (3-1). The rest are photos of my garden as its getting ready for planting. I already got peas, onions, rhubarb and beets in the ground. And as you can see I got tomatoes, corn, bell peppers, onions, herbs, and brussel sprouts in the greenhouse. I going to have tomatoes for sale: so if you need tomatoes ask me first, thank you Sharla.

Hello,

I am SO proud of my mother...she finally turned something she loves to do into a business. Yes its a bit scary but I know that you'll do it. Plus I'll be making some simple things to put into the shop as well, until then goodbye.
