About 10 years ago, I was going to a "church" in Wilsonville called the Living Enrichment Center. I put church in quotes because it was more of a "Spiritual Center" anyway, not the point. One week, I noticed that they had a thing called the God Can. The God Can was a can with pretty decorations that you put your worries into when you did not know how to handle them and just leave it up to Him to figure it out. I haven't thought about that since I went to church until now.
I got an email recently about my blog and the email basically suggested that I am trying to control my life. The whole idea was to give it up to the universe and let God show me the way. This morning I started thinking about letting go and what that really means. Risking everything knowing that everything will be okay no matter what happens. I have been trying to figure out, do something anything that will prevent certain things from coming true. And in that I have been chasing my tail trying to get it done. So, I think it's time for me to make my own God Can and leave it up to the universe :) I think I'll focus on being happy :D xoxoxoxo Gina

Article
I thought this article was interesting, in light of all the gloom and doom right now I thought an article geared at growing business would be a nicer topic :)

My Mom
Last night I woke up about 3am thinking about my mom. I worry about her and her health. I was awake thinking a bunch of what ifs. At some point I thought to myself how can I turn this worry into something constructive. It's funny how sometimes you ask for something and an answer pops in your head. I thought, well I could write about her on my blog. So, here's a little about my mom in case you didn't know.
My mother is the most wonderful mother in the whole world. She is always there when I need her to talk or give some well intended advice. Her advice is always well thought out and with it I am so clear how much she loves me. We have started talking once a week on the phone and I look forward to talking with her, laughing, sharing and talking about everything and anything. She is down to earth and wise. She is open and honest. She is one of my best friends and I love her with all my heart.

The Best Date Ever :)
So last night, Jacob went to spend the night at a friends house. I thought what a perfect opportunity for a romantic dinner for two :) So, I had it all planned out in my head - I will make a nice seafood dinner, we'll eat by candlelight, get a bottle of sparkling cider (neither one of us drinks) and rent some movies. We'll have riveting conversation and gaze into each others eyes.
Well, here's what really happened. Gary through out his back lifting Emma into the car, we went shopping until 6pm and by then I was not in the mood to cook. So, we got Chinese food and came home. We lit candles ate Chinese food and drank sparkling cider. We got 2 movies that weren't very good and I feel asleep on the couch by 10pm. All in all things did not turn out as planned however, we had the best date in a long time.
It hit me as the evening went on, I have such a wonderful relationship with Gary that no matter how much it does not turn out as planned we have fun. I think we talked and laughed more than we have in a while and it was the best date ever :)

Awakening
Almost every morning I wake up thinking, thinking, thinking. Some of it constructive and some of it not very constructive. This morning I woke up thinking why does it always seem like I'm not happy? I am in a seminar geared at looking at what Happiness is and how to create it. So, the realization hits me at about 8:30 this morning....I'm not unhappy I am BORED! OMG totally BORED! Outside of work I don't know what to do with myself. So, I've started a list of things that I can do and I will take 2 and call the doctor in the morning. I am going to do at least 2 per day and see where that takes me. It's a little game I play, I create lots of games. Later, I think I'll write about my wanting game (although I think Gary is bored with it :) xoxoxoxo Gina
