It is nice to have someone who lights up the office when they walk in. <br /><br />It was so funny when I saw you worked for SPAN publishing, my office receives one of those "law enforcement" books!!

As His daughter, I would love to be able to grow my jewelry to the point that it could be my only job. I want my jewelry to be more than just something to wear, I want it to touch hearts.

I have marked my december calender on my birthday date with "HOLIDAY"<br /><br />I badly want to win one of your beads, but it seem impossible cause I live in Indonesia. But it's ok for me to answer your twist *smile*<br />For now? What will I do with such credentials? <br />My concern and my worry is Arctic. Although I never visit that land, I always love to see the view although just through photos or TV channel such NatGeo or BBC. With the lately issue about arctic oil, I want to save Polar Bear habitat.

I need to pay more attention to them. Thank you for sharing a message that obviously meant a lot to you. And I also found it remarkable that your Words of Wisdom about opportunities appeared on your blog as well. Definitely food for thought.<br />When I am in a funk I always crave doing something creative. I need to pay more attention to that, to bring out my creative side, and perhaps to have faith that I can make a living doing it. Sharing our creativity with others makes the world a brighter place. And since I am a child of God, I can do that! :-)Kathiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04023720952696852350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144530270551564552.post-23781252562789128772013-08-15T03:08:26.819-05:002013-08-15T03:08:26.819-05:00Oh my goodness, that story came at just the right ...Oh my goodness, that story came at just the right time for me. I've been feeling very down with a career-related problem, and your mantra "you are a child of God, and with credentials like that, you can do anything" has made me feel so much brighter! Thank you for sharing this story, and your memories of Erv; he sounded like a fantastic man.<br /><br />You know, it's a hard question you pose, because over the pond here in England it's kind of engrained on us to make the most of the lot we have. But I guess if I could do *anything*, I'd love to be a yoga teacher, and have my own studio, and just do yoga all day long.<br /><br />Happy (belated) birthday Erin!<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144530270551564552.post-62589173908235694912013-08-14T21:48:08.717-05:002013-08-14T21:48:08.717-05:00Erin,

If chosen I would be available for a blog hop.<br /><br />If you are a Child of God and you can do anything, what is that anything that you would want to do? <br /><br />What a super question and how hard it is to answer. I love children and I think I would like to work towards having people available for any child to have someone to talk with. I don't know from experience but I have heard that all children benefit from having someone to listen to them and make them feel important. If we had this available what a change we could make in our society.<br /><br />Carolyn<br />carolynscreations@live.comCarolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12963562922548608864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144530270551564552.post-75415797864852429192013-08-14T20:12:30.800-05:002013-08-14T20:12:30.800-05:00What a great story!

There are many things I want to accomplish, I feel like I'm just getting started on this exciting journey God has for me. My husband and I have always had a connection with older folks, and I would like to help my daughter work with therapy animals to visit with them in retirement homes. Many elderly spend their last days in an empty, lonely environment. I'd like to change that for them.<br />Thank you for such a lovely opportunity!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11034873586616492485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144530270551564552.post-23604119705426204232013-08-14T18:59:05.148-05:002013-08-14T18:59:05.148-05:00I think Erv would have approved of where I work, t...I think Erv would have approved of where I work, they make us take the day off :)<br /><br />And I am that very lucky child of God who does exactly everything she wants to do, and nothing that she doesn't :)aneri_masihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08363429426292603118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144530270551564552.post-88565992996565090442013-08-14T18:39:42.400-05:002013-08-14T18:39:42.400-05:00YES I am a child of God...and the peace of mind th...YES I am a child of God...and the peace of mind that comes with that knowledge is invaluable.

I taught all three of my children and all of their friends. My daughters dream is to open a store where she can also share her love of art with the local children.
