YOU have the ABILITY to CHANGE

Dear Readers,
We are all human beings, put on this Earth for a PURPOSE. The most amazing thing about life, is our ability to be who we want to be. You have the ability to say what you want to say, do what you want to do, and live how you want to live. When you are a child, your parents are there to lead you into making right choices in your life. They teach you how to walk, how to tie your shoe, how to hold a spoon (and put food in your mouth), how to love people, how to show compassion towards the fellow man, how to be respectful, manners, they teach you the main things you need to succeed in life. Sometimes in this crazy world, and you all know I think this world is crazy, I believe that we as people, forget how amazingly blessed we are. You may not like the way our country is being run, you may not like the basic rules at school, you may not like seeing stray animals, you may not enjoy the people who turn to hate to make themselves feel better. Here is the funny thing, YOU have the ABILITY to make a CHANGE. You can make a change, and it's all because everyone views the world differently. You should learn to voice your opinion in a respectful way, you should become a leader, simply because you can. If you don't like something, put together a group, lead that group, and do wonderful things. So maybe being a leader is not for you, and that's fine, but find someone to follow. Find that thing you believe in, find someone who sees a problem the way you do, and assist them to make the CHANGE. There will always be someone who disagrees with the goal you are trying to accomplish, this is a simple fact of life. Everyone is different like I've said before, so not everyone is going to see things like you do. Please don't be discouraged if you fail the first few times. It takes a great leader, and a great follower, to never give up. So here is my advice to you. Never be afraid to stand up for the things you believe in. This is not going to be easy at all, and people will try their hardest to see you fall. Never give up hope, not in yourself, nor in other people. Now get your convoluted brains working, and get out, and make a this world a better place.
Love,
Simply Shelby

A Letter to Asher Rae.

Baby Asher, Your momma is currently in labor and in a few hours you'll make your grand debut into this world. From the moment I knew you were coming I was in shock and how much my heart could grow. I work with sweet children all day and I love them so much. The love I already have for you is so different. You'll be the first grandchild of my parents, and you'll be my first ever niece. You're coming into a world that is incredibly hard and difficult. With your amazing parents in your life you'll be taught how to be strong and to be valiant in all circumstances. Your dad, my brother, is an excellent human being. He is dedicated, he is a dreamer, he is a hard worker, and he will be the most amazing father. Your mom is so beautiful. She is loving, she is patient, and she loves your dad so much. Your grandma, my mom, is SO excited for you. She will love you and spoil you, but she will also help you when things get hard. Your Grandma Forsyth is a tough woman. The toughes...

Knowing thy IMPACT

One day I'll get around to sharing the story about how I applied for and got my new job. I have to say that it most certainly is 100% credited to my Heavenly Father and his plan for my life. Often we don't see the things we need in life until things are put into our path that lead us in a different direction. For the purpose of this post I wanted to share some thoughts being on the outside of the beginning of a new school year. This is mostly for my teacher friends and those who start teaching this year so if you get bored, please do yourself a favor and stop reading. Being a teacher is a tough gig. Daily we make thousands of split-second decisions and impact people in ways we will never fully know the extent of. John Hattie once said, "know thy impact." Each day you'll strive to be better than the day before. You'll hope and pray that your babies (students) will learn something more than just "things." We'll hope and pray that they learn how t...

Good Ole Sundays

So usually my Sundays consist of the same things: church, lunch, nap, dinner, and homework. Today was not the same, and it has made me crazy. So to start off my lovely Sunday, we only had church for a hour. Some of you may know why, but for others here is the explaination. While our beautiful building is being built, we go to church in 3 metal buildings. Only one of these has decent insulation. Since Florida has decided to become Antartica, it was quite cold, causing us to only have one hour of church and not three. Lunch was wonderful, and was quite normal considering the rest of my day. After lunch I walk back into the kitchen and find my mother humming a lady gaga song. I never understood her amazingness fully until today. So then comes naptime. Oh how I LOVE naptime on Sundays. So I go lay down and start watching tv, and I couldn't sleep. GREAT. Then finally after about 2 hours I fall asleep, and wake up ten minutes later. Just dandy. I was not a happy person to say the least. ...
