we
we as women
(sorry guys)
we have this incredible job! this is not something we should be taking lightly........
give it your all
you only have one chance to do this life.......who is with me??? to grab this freedom and the hems of our skirts and proclaim that we are women
women who love
who care
who praywho do the chores
who teach
who feed the ones we love
who keep traditions and sing louder than any Adele (at least in the car with the radio blasting)
who keep the faith and share it through pies and tears and fears and joy
we are truly blessed to be women!!
God bless you all so very much for taking the time to be here with me...these past four years have been such amazing years and I can't wait to see what the next four will be like....
xo + blessings,
We are blessed indeed!

ReplyDeleteDear Anne Marie,
ReplyDeleteYour said it beautifully...AS a Woman our work is never done and our hearts are always full.
Your wedding ring is so lovley...Gary and I purchased an amazing diamond at an antique shop once. I had it designed into a vintage ring I had seen and our jeweler did a fantastic job. Later we replaced that diamond with a ruby and gave the diamond to our youngest daughter as a wedding gift. She used it to have her ring designed. Her marriage did not work out, but as for the dimond it is still beautiful and has a story to tell, we had our jeweler re-purpose this dimond into a lovley neckless for her.
Have a sweet week full of sweet moments, Elizabeth
