The Power of a Chair

So, I was thinking about the chair that I sit in every single day to work.  I used to work at our corporate office everyday.  Then, we moved farther away from the office and my dad and Glenn graciously allowed me to start coming in 2 days a week and work from home the other days of which I worked those days in our home office.  Then, along came Addy Grace. :)  In order to spend my day with her, I have now moved my "office" to my leopard print recliner in the living room.  She plays with her toys in the floor and there I sit, in a chair fit for a diva, feet propped up and laptop in the lap!  This, my friends is where the magic happens!

Where do you sit everyday to work?  Is it comfortable?  Do you enjoy your view?  I think sometime all of you should post your work space.  It might be funny to see the makeshift "offices" we all have.  Just keep in mind that if you like your chair, you will sit there longer and if you sit there longer, you will make more money and if you make more money, you win more prizes and if you win more prizes, I will sit in this chair longer!

In honor of this thought, I wrote a poem for all of you... 

"The Nebo Prayer"

Now I sit me down to sell
I pray dear Lord, I'll do it well
And if I quit before it's four
Lord please don't let Tonia show up at my door!

Happy Friday and Happy Sitting!

A Mother's Heart

As Mother's Day approaches, my heart is stirred with the grattitude I feel for the gift that motherhood has been to me.  I have been doubly blessed to have been given the honor of being a mom to Addyson but also, I have the treasure of an amazing mom, which many of you know as Dana or "Bob's Wife." 

I don't know what your relationship with your mom is like but I know that for me, her role was a vital part of my upbringing.  She offered unconditional love, support, honesty (sometimes too honest!), and a guaranteed good time no matter what!  There is not a major memory or moment in my life that I don't remember her presence.  Her wisdom helped guide my way many times when relationships left me confused or I had to make an important decision.  It's funny to look back and see how many times God uses the voice of our mother to speak on His behalf! 

One thing I have learned over the years is that every woman needs at least one influential woman in her life.  Maybe for you it wasn't your own mom, but someone else's mom that made an impact on you.  The love from a mother's heart is what gives us the strength to become the woman we are meant to be. 

So, today I challenge you to look around you... who can you invest in?  Your love and wisdom could be empowering another young woman to become something greater than she knew she could be.  Even if you don't have your own children or they are grown now... it's never too late to give a mother's heart to a heart in need.

Happy Mother's Day!
