Encouraging Words are a Blessing | Myrtle Beach | Cal Ripken Baseball 14 u

Oh reflect, rejoicing and remember is a often done while on vacation.  Our bodies and minds are calm, relax and we may find our mouths speak words of encouragement and love. 

Encouraging words have a powerful effect to anyone not just large audiences of hundreds but, even to the less visible people. 

God did not create any nobodies only somebodies.  Everyone has something wonderful and unique about them. 

 Everyone should be greeted with a smile and given respect.  During vacation one thing I reflected on was talking about others in an unkind why such as opinions and judgement.  I have decide I needed to be more mindful of my words about others and understand everyone is unique and different!

 I want to speak kinder words on a daily bases and I am going to make it a frequent goal. 

Finally, as you can see from the photos we had a lovely time visiting South Carolina and Kentucky. We started out trip visited my sister and her family, Experience Ripken with my son in Myrtle Beach and finish visiting the Ark Encounter in Kentucky. 

I believe the Ark was 9 football fields long; can you imagine.  I can not!  Even more unbelievable is the fact a man trusted God so much he buildt and loaded the boat with everyone and everything God told him to do.  The Trust; to Love.

I need to trust God and believe he has a plan for me.  I need to know and understand he has my best interest in mind.

Spa Birthday Party for a 11 year old Girl | Happy Birthday Sarah

My kind hearted, passionate, laid back, determined, animal/nature lover daughter celebrate her 11th Birthday.  I am still in awe that she is 11 years old.  She is very independent and loves many people, things and creatures.  Her passion for life make her determine to achieve so much but, one thing I love about her she is laid back which can offend people.  Her personality is not to sweat the small stuff, be honest if sometime we should not be (we are working on a filter)  but, enjoy what is happening in the today.  No mater her circumstance she accepts it and takes in the moment.  She is always the first one to help when a friend or family member is in need especially if the are sick or hurt.  Her empathy or others including animals is very inspiring.  Sometimes we butt heads but, I love who she is becoming!

Now we celebrated with Sarah's closest and dearest friends which was about 15 girls and she wanted more.  Can I say, everyone she meets is a friend.

We had a at home spa which include chocolate facials, manicures, pedicures and hot stone massages.  Details on how to make the chocolate facial you can find over HERE!

Halfway through the night we filled up on an ice cream sundae bar and popcorn bar.  All the girls spent the night and stay up till 3 am.  Ummm yes staying up to 3 am was not my plan but, they settle down soon after that.

The next morning was Sarah's actually birthday so I made pancakes and OJ and we conclude singing "Happy Birthday"

I love doing the party for my daughter, I know people think I am crazy but, I truly enjoyed it.  It was fun and made my daughter so Happy and that is all that mattered!
