Full Moon

This Full Moon is all about getting straight to the CORE:
The deep Self is a non-conformist. The Soul is wild and untamed. It soars above the crowd. It is not concerned with safety or security or predictability. It has no interest in pensions or mortgages or social status or what others might think. It does not mind rocking the boat. It offers no gua...rantees. And it is willing for you to face a dark night of the soul, if necessary on your pathway towards bliss. It holds the power of the crucible. It longs for you to express your uniqueness, to release your potential. It’s only concern is the inner journey of your life; who you came here to be, whether you are being true to yourself, whether you are living your dreams, whether you are opening your heart to love, joy and passion.

Gill Edwards, Wild Love

Brighter Days

 

I received a message from a Sister from another Mister today:
"Steph, you have to read this..my daughter is speaking of your grandpa. I knew immediatley who she was talking about."

Amanda Burns

There is this little old man with Alzheimer's disease who comes in to visit at me and my co-worker every morning. He walks clear down Blue Lakes at 8 am every d...ay to drink coffee at Burger King and then stops by to rest at our office. He tells us stories about when he was a Jerome police officer and how he dealt with crazy people. But today he started telling me that his wife had just passed away and then he asked me if I was married. When I told him I was engaged, his face lit up and he said, "Let me give you some advice". So I nodded my head and he said, "Don't ever forget to say I love you and always treat each other right. Also, don't give up on being faithful. Have faith that things will always work themselves out." This man made my entire day! Best marriage advice I've ever heard and it was from a near stranger.

This gentleman IS MY GRANDMA/HERO! Next to my children, the soul I Love MOST in this universe!

Of course I messaged her right away, and she responded:
Amanda Burns Steph - I would have never guessed he was your grandpa. He is honestly the sweetest man ever and brings us great company. We always know when he is coming and we look forward to it :) you have yourself a wonderful grandpa!

The story that she shared opened up quite a bit of conversations about what an AMAZING human being I've been blessed to call "Grandpa" all of my days.

One of these stories brings tears to my eyes every single time I read it: "Wendy White Kerr One Saturday morning Ron Kerr and I were at Burger King. He stopped at our table and asked if he could sit with us. The next 30 minutes was enlightening. We initially thought we were doing a good deed by giving this little old man some much needed attention. By the time we left the restaurant we had a new outlook on life, touched by his gentle spirit, his memories of service, the testament to and great love he has for his wife, and blessed by the chance encounter. One could wonder how many lives he has affected. God bless Darrell."I really needed this uplifting day! Thank You Great Divine!

Marching Band Fever!

65% of the Entire student population at Parma High School belongs to the Marching Band! 
We are a very small community with little to no money for programs, let alone something "extra" like the Marching Band.  Yet, they make the best out of what they have and at the end of the season, compete against much wealthier communities, and KICK BUTT!

 

Living in the rural community that we do, many of our students have multiple extra curricular activities.  They include working in the crops, on the farms, in the shop on the equipment for these, playing sports, THEN, from 7-9PM Marching Band Practice. What pure dedication and commitment each person exudes! 

This year the theme was NIGHTMARE.
It was Phenomenal!
Parma won 1st in Visuals and 2nd Overall
Woot! Woot!
