Holding Others As We Are Held
Babies are born with a preciousness that is beyond explanation. The term precious means “honorable” and “of great worth not to be wasted or treated carelessly”. We hold every newborn with a sense of preciousness. Even in holding them, we are extra cautious.. They are innocent from the sins of the world and bring a sense of great worth when they come into being. Then we grow up. As a toddler we commit sins in a selfish nature when we don’t want to share a certain doll or toy truck. Simple, but nonetheless, a selfish sin. As we grow older we may commit other, greater sins. Maybe as a teenager…

Success at Work VS Success at Home
Business’s grow a lot faster than people do! With the rise of social media, businesses can sky rocket through the roof and if you aren’t personally keeping up then you’ll get left behind. This year, The Ruffled Daisy celebrated 8 years of being in business! It’s been an amazing 8 years but it’s also been a challenging 8 years. Running a business on your own (with just the hubby’s help) is a lot of work. Some days were spent not giving enough to my husband and kids because the business needed me. Some days were spent stressed and frazzled because I didn’t have enough hands or hours in the day.…

Have Courage To Follow Your Own Path
We don’t always know what our path is. Paths take sharp turns sometimes and other times they are gentle. Sometimes there are steep hills to climb and other times there may be downed trees to move so you can clear the way for you to continue. At the end of the path is God. Waiting for you, to tell you “job well done”. You’re gonna fall. You’re gonna skin your knee and there are times you may break some bones. You start on this path by yourself and you pick you people along the way go help you navigate it. Some of those people take a turn that you aren’t…

Affirmations and Validation
It’s no secret. I need validation. It’s a part of who I am. Is that narcissistic? Maybe. Is it selfish? Maybe. But the fact of the matter is that I do. On a daily basis I look for the approval of others to complete daily tasks and make certain decisions. I worry about what so-and-so will think if I make this decision and that. You may ask yourself how that is possible for someone who is such a hermit. Well, it’s complicated. And my therapist loves that I pay her big bucks to figure this out. So yes…I need affirmation and validation from people on a daily basis. Which is…

Love and Commitment
Love and Commitment. These words go hand in hand when you are talking about marriage. That doesn’t mean that it all comes easy though. In the beginning, it’s all easy. You meet someone you are attracted to, want to spend all of your time with, and share all of your life dreams with. It’s easy. You love this person with your whole being. You want to commit to making this person the happiest and vice versa. You envision a life of nothing but happiness because you vow to let nothing keep you from that. Then it gets hard. Life gets hard. You create a family. You share this oneness but…
