Hey Beautiful Souls 😍 As Christmas approaches and a new year beckons, I'm reflecting on the journey we've shared.
Truly blessed in all circumstances and enjoying this beautiful Christmas season and looking towards another amazing year with Tarl.
🥰
We wish you nothing but the very best each and every day and not just during the holidays. Make memories. Keep fulfilling your dreams and desires. Reach out and build bridges to those you wish you were closer with. Make new friends. Discover new talents.
🤗
Just like myself with many battles of health, seek the joy and happiness among all circumstances. Blessings are everywhere . Let yourself feel, heal and love, starting within . You're amazing.
🌞
I appreciate all your support and love. Exciting projects await with our passions and talents. I look forward to graduation in May 2024 with a degree in family science and pursuing the next steps in life. One day at a time. Embrace it all.

Let's enter the New Year with our hearts open to the endless opportunities that await. Tarl and I are filled with gratitude for the love and support that have illuminated our path. This past year has been a canvas of trials and triumphs, and as we turn the page, we're embracing all the adventures that lie ahead.

Hello beautiful Souls,
As the holidays approach, life has been a whirlwind of activity for us. I've been immersed in my Fall semester at school, which will conclude in mid-December. And, as we look ahead, my final semester for Spring 2024 is just around the corner. Graduation May 2024.
The light at the end of the academic tunnel is becoming brighter and more inspiring with each passing day, as I'll soon graduate with my Bachelor's in Family Science from the College of Humanities and Social Sciences. It's been a long journey, but we're getting there!
Speaking of journeys, Tarl, my loving husband, and I find ourselves in the beautiful town of Washington, Utah, not far from St. George. We've been exploring the stunning landscapes, getting to know our new community, and embracing the charm of our new home. It's truly a season to be thankful for all the beauty that surrounds us.
One thing that brings us immense joy is sharing our talents in creative works. Tarl and I both have a passion for storytelling, art, writing, and more. It's not just a hobby; it's a way for us to express our innermost thoughts and emotions. Through our creativity, we connect with one another on a deeper level and with the world around us.
On a personal note, I've been continuing my journey to better health. I've been managing my diabetes with the help of insulin pumps, dealing with gastroparesis, and working closely with specialists to address my health concerns. Lately, I've been undergoing various tests and consultations for my sinus tachycardia, a condition that can raise my heart rate up to 140 even when I'm at rest. I'm waiting to see a Cardiac Electrophysiologist for further review and testing. It's like running a marathon, but I'm determined to keep moving forward with a positive outlook, and a touch of humor is always helpful.
Tarl has been embracing the beauty of working from home as a technical writer. He's been pouring his creativity into his projects, weaving fascinating stories, and making our home a place where inspiration flows freely during the evenings and weekends. It's a delight to witness his passion in action, and it's something that truly makes our daily lives more beautiful. Go after your dreams and support others in their own dreams.
As the holiday season approaches, we are filled with excitement. This will be our first time spending the holidays in Utah, and we're looking forward to the new traditions we'll create. We're grateful for everyone who is a part of our lives, and we carry that gratitude with us every single day, not just during the "holiday" season. Life is a gift, and we cherish it in every moment.
On a recent Sunday, Tarl and I had the privilege of giving a talk at our church on caring for others and being self-reliant. It was a wonderful opportunity to share our experiences and offer support to our fellow church members. Caring for one another and building self-reliance is a philosophy we hold dear, and it's an honor to be able to give back in this way.
In closing, we'd like to remind you to do your best every day, no matter what challenges you face. Life is a journey, and sometimes it's a marathon, sometimes it's a sprint, but it's always worth it. We revel in the views of the mountain deserts, the warm sunshine, and the everyday joys of life together.
We want to express our love and gratitude to all those who support us on this beautiful journey. Thank you for being a part of our lives and for being part of the light that brightens our path.
Keep Shining ~Be Inspired ~

Hello Beautiful Souls 😍
Hope this finds you well . Know you're pretty amazing and PRICELESS. Don't be so hard on yourselves. Know You're Enough.
I am still around but working on my last 2 semesters. 18 credits and 5 classes now ( Spring semester) then it goes straight to Summer semester of 5 classes and internship. I'm so proud of myself for sticking to it. More excited to celebrate accomplishments of graduating and I will be the Big 40 . So exciting. Huge goal.
It's tough . Yes, I started later. We all make goals and sometimes make choices that weren't good or things happen. We just need to remember to give ourself love and care and not beat ourself up. I am learning this daily and acting on it.
Tarl working hard with work and his projects and we're enjoying the time we have between school and his work . Being married little over 2 years and supporting one another , helping us heal from previous nasty divorces and enjoying our journey together in all circumstances. We love it. We love seeing each other blossom in dreams and passions and making goals.
So, I want you to know that we want the same for you. Here's some little advice and inspiration for you as I get ready for big school day . Also know I'll keep blogging and we're still open to sales on little gift shop . Just school is a big goal to knock off.
As I finish college and look forward to the future, I'm reminded of all the amazing opportunities that life has to offer. I know that I still have so much to learn and so much to experience, and I'm excited to take on new challenges.
One thing that I'm particularly passionate about is helping others. I know that there are so many people in the world who need a little extra support, and I want to do my part to make a difference. Whether it's volunteering at a local charity, or simply being there for a friend in need, I know that every small act of kindness can make a big impact.
I also want to remind myself and others that age is just a number. We are never too old to learn new things, to try new things, to make new friends and to make a difference. Life is short and we should embrace every opportunity to live it to the fullest.
So here's to finishing college, and to all the amazing adventures that lie ahead. Let's make the most of our time here and make a difference in the world, one step at a time.
Keep shining ✨️ Be inspired ✨️
