your time is limited

Growing up, my mom always made a routine on Sundays-church. Now that we're older and don't live in the same house together anymore, it's harder to make it a routine these days. What I always remembered about church was the priest asking if anyone in the pews wanted to pray for someone they knew and for them to speak the names out loud. A prayer for those who were sick, in need of help, or who have passed away. After my dad passed away in 2002, my mom always spoke up during our time in church and said his name. It was our quiet moment to reflect on him. 


Last week, we lost a great man. A genius, an innovator, the face behind Apple products, Steve Jobs. I never really knew the profound effect he made on us till he passed away. He changed and improved our world in such a tremendous way. Because of him, my son will get to experience possibly the greatest form of technology ever. 

There's no doubt that millions of prayers were said for Steve Jobs this past week. Many, many moments of silence across the world. He will be greatly missed, but he will live on in our lives forever. His products. His words. His inspiration. His legacy.

Thank you, Steve Jobs. For everything that you did and for everything that you were. May you rest in peace.   

a little inspiration...

For the past few days, I've been lacking all motivation and inspiration to blog. I would think of something to write about or share and then I quickly throw it out the window. I think, "No, that's not interesting at all." I know I'm probably not the only one who feels this way, but for some reason I can't help but think I am.


I was reading a post by Cute Mammi today and she wrote about a website that she recently discovered called Pinterest, where you can index everything you love. It's really a cool website! There's everything from fashion and apparel to photography and travel. I was browsing the website and came across a section called "motivation/inspiration". Ahh, just what I need! Here are some that I loved...

inspiring

I had never read up on the Jaycee Dugard story, but only knew of it through some news snippets here and there.  I watched her Diane Sawyer interview from last night just this morning and was completely blown away by her story. For her to even come out and tell her story and to even write a book was amazing to me. I can't even begin to imagine what she went through. Also, as a mother, I can't imagine what her own mother went through. What's inspiring to me is that she's living her life today to the fullest and isn't letting what happened to her define who she is.
