Hello,
Hope your summer is wonderful; that life is treating you AWESOME ! We are all so very blessed!
It has been awhile since my last post. I hate getting post from people everyday plus just do not know what to say all the time lol. Alot of changes have taken place this summer in my life; ones that mark a turning point and ones that I will never ever forget for they have changed me! It all started with a visit to NYC with my son and our soccer friends. Gavin, my son took a friend and it was a blast. I felt that I reconnected with my teen-age son plus I came back with a little hop in my step. I had alot of alone time to really think while the boys were around and about with friends and came to some life altering conclusions . The first major conclusion tha t I came to is that life is short and I am not dead yet. Sounds crazy but I have been living this life as if one day, I would get to do the things when I can do them now!
I have been finding that this summer has been the best one in a long time. I have taken time to spend with my family, my friends, made new friends and went on vacation 
This is all in one summer which I never seemed to have the time in the past but decided this year was going to be different. I have worked myself too death trying to make this business successful and overlooked the most important things in my life! I found myself very tired, cranky and somewhat depressed. I was caught in it seemed like LIFE with all the wordly values where making money and being successful is most rewarding. Guess what? It isn’t! Taking time to smell the roses and enjoying the simple things in life has been the most rewarding. I told a friend once that you can have it all but not all at the same time and how very true that is! Business is still good but I have cut back, hired some people to help and haven’t broken my neck to get the shipment out the very next day.
I also have changed my life-style in the sense of healthiness and owe this to my step-son, Zech! He miraculously got me to quit drinking mountain dew (2 liters a day) and then the journey began. If you have been saved and born again, it’s the only thing I know how to compare it to! I been where I was a mess, physically, mentally and emotionally. I changed my eating habits put some excercise in my days and I feel like a changed woman, literally! I have lost 30 lbs and still counting, lol. I can’t remember the last time that I felt this awesome! Wherever I go, I have friends stopping to say just how wonderful I look. Talk about lighting the world up but then I tell myself, “wow must have really looked awful before, lol” I just feel amazing and you can too!!!!!!!! I found this wonderful man, Jay Robb that I am following his diet plan and he is amazing, definately, the weight and fat are dropping off, literally while I sleep! If you are interested go to www.jayrobb.com and he has amazing products and books!
School has started back for me as well. I am so excited for I love teaching! I know God called me to do just that and when knowing something like that; it is like working for free I have an amazing time with my students and with art. We have fun all day long. If you are a teacher, I have found that kids just need to see you real, see the real you, laugh when it’s funny and cry when you are sad, become vulnerable and they will too and it becomes a climate of home away from home, so much love in your life!!!!! Thank-you God for my teaching career and art talents and abilities!!!!!!!! Good-luck to all those starting back to school! May you have an amazing, fulfilled fall!!!!!!!
Thank-you as always for all the wonderful customers, bloggers and twitter friends as well as facebook!!!! How fun social networking is!
God Bless,

Dear Friends and Customers,
My heart was broken today after Listening to my step-son speak about his 2 month journey in Haiti. Tears flowed down my cheek most of the service and God touched my heart so deeply. Thank-you, Zech for the amazing man that you have allowed God to help you become and allowing Him to use you in such a special way!
I decided… to pledge today a certain amount of funds to help the special lives that touched Zech’s heart and was offering this to all my friends as well as my LilZoe subscribers. I am running a special in my store called “Natasha” the fine Christian lady that Zech’s heart touched. If you have questions, please contact me! If you would like to give a one time donation or allow Zech to visit your church (if you are local) and speak, God Bless you!!! Please let me know. Zech is in his third year of Medical school and still managed to take off two months to go help in the medical tents. The people touched his heart and changed his life forever and he has touched mine! What an awesome thing to have experienced and you can help too.
This is the special feather headband in the link below that I have chosen to become LilZoe’s pledge to a beautiful, Christian lady that my step-son met in Haiti called Natasha. She is wanting to go to college to become a nurse after seeing the need in her country after the disaster. The money will also go to help support raising her nephew. The total proceeds from this one sale item will go toward this cause.
THe “Natasha” Ostrich feather headband comes in many colors and is a buy one get one free. I will have to refund part of your shipping for the calculator is set as a one price. You are to purchase one then in the paragraph provided write the second color that you would like to have free Remember: This is a very special cause and you have the opportunity to help someone and also receive a free gift as well! It is a win-win situation. These are great for presents of any and all occassions!
God Bless You, My Dear Friends and Loyal Customers. I feel that if we cannot go be there then at least we can help in some way. You are truly making a difference and it is awesome! I will be posting pics and updates of Natasha on my facebook page, please subscribe if you have not! I cannot thank-you enough!
Here is the link: Please post this on your facebook and anywhere else that you can! God is smiling at you! He loves You, He loves everyone! May you be touched by His love in some way!
