Last month I was tagged by Daisy over at Dr Mommy Chronicles. The topic is Motherhood Lessons. It took me a few days to decide what I would talk about because I did not want to write just any thing. After that I just kept forgetting; but on this Sabbath morning I have time to write a bit now.
If you have been participating in reading and commenting on this blog for any amount of time then you know that I am going to come a little off the cuff with my thoughts. So here goes.
As a mother I guess you could say that the main lesson I have learned to always allow your children to be molded by God. I think the most valuable thing that we can learn as moms is that we cannot control our children. We can manage and guide, but not control. God blessed us with children and as with everything we are given, we are to be good stewards over them.

I have been online in some capacity since 2000. When I got married in 2002, I found myself online even more because I had become a stay at home mom in a new town with no friends. The internet was way for me to connect to my friends and family back in Los Angeles.
Eventually I started seeking other groups of like-minded individuals and that is how I discovered, that you really can earn an income online. And get this - there were legal ways to do it. I also discovered that I could create a ministry for women much like what I had in Los Angeles, but online. I was in heaven learning all I could to make a difference and a living at the same time. But I made some HUGE mistakes along the way.

I don’t post about a lot of contest and maybe I should because there are some really cool ones out there. Anyway I came across a contest that all women should love. Handbag Planet is giving away 24 bsags in 24 hours. Now I love a good purse because it gives me a chance to buy an outfit and some shoes to match.
So check out the contest at Handbag Planet today and pick you bag!

On Septmber 23rd at 6:01pm Brehane Yosef Ham-Ying was born weighing in at 8lbs 1oz. His dad named him and the meaning is as follows: Brehane is Ethopian for “My light”; Yosef is Hebrew for “Joseph” which means “May Jehovah add/increase”; and Joseph is also my husband’s middle name; and Ham-Ying is his Chinese surname as my husband is half-Chinese.
He was a bright baby with a perfectly round head, very tight Chinese Eyes, straight black hair, and a wide nose. He looked nothing like the woman who birthed him. As a matter of fact, I carried his birth certificate with me when we traveled to Los Angeles 6 months later because I did not want people to think I kidnapped him. But he does have my lips and eye lashes.

You know over the last few days I have been thinking about how I have reached many of dreams in life. That made me not only thank God but ask for forgiveness as well. You see too many times we neglect to see that while it may not have been in way we thought it should, God does and wants to give us the desires of our heart if we diligently seek Him. Last Tuesday I had the privilage to attend an Online Marketing Women Entrpreneur conference. It was small, quaint, and just what I needed to know that I am where I need to be.
I sat back as the women were talking and realized that I have really lived more of my dreams than I thought I had:
- I always wanted to edit and publish my own magazine - I did that from 2005 to 2007.
