Acorns...

Your kids will go nutty for these clever fall treats, which look like acorns but taste a whole lot sweeter.

Ingredients

• Donuts

• Crumbled Toffee
• Pretzel

Instructions

1. Frost a third or so of a plain or glazed doughnut hole with chocolate frosting or peanut butter.
   
2. Roll the frosted top in crumbled toffee (look for it in the baking section of grocery stores), then add a small piece of a pretzel for the stem.
   

Sunrise...Sunset...

I am telling myself that today...
The sun came out to play.
So I should be the best that I can be today.
If I need a little help...
Get on my hands and knees...
and trust in the Lord.

Today is a day full of possibilities.
 Of creating new dreams and reflecting on the old ones.

Today...

I can lose my old self,
and become a self loving, positive person.

IF not for me,
then...
for my wonderful kids and dearest husband....

And as the sun sets...

I hope...

It's not just another day that I failed.

That I waited for the next sunrise to do it all again.

I hope...

I find inner peace.

And that it stays with me for every sunrise and sunset.

If I trust in HIM...

I know that HE will show me the way...

Give Yourself Permission...

Today I ask you to please:

Give yourself permission to reach for the rainbow.
Give yourself permission to dream big and aspire to make all your dreams come true.
Give yourself permission to climb mountains and run marathons and lie by the beach with a book.
Give yourself permission to love truly and unconditionally and utterly.
Give yourself permission to be loved, appreciated and even admired.
Give yourself permission to laugh until you are in tears.
Give yourself permission to cry your heart out and go through an entire box of tissues.
Give yourself permission to dance around the house or anywhere and enjoy it.
Give yourself permission to go to work in your flip flops, no make up and feel beautiful.
Give yourself permission to make silly faces.
Give yourself permission to express your thoughts and ideas.
Give yourself permission to live out loud.

Because any other way of living is a waste of time.
