NYC July 2010
It's mi padre's birthday today!  My Daddy is another year older today but doesn't look it.  It seems us Ashley's wear our age very well.  I'm so grateful for my Daddy. He has incredible work ethic and integrity, is a great Papa, loves bringing all of his family together for face and heart time, has a deep and quiet love for God, and can't hum "Like a Virgin" even when he tries (yep, there's a story behind that - ha!).  I'm a clone of my Daddy in looks and actually in a lot of the Type A ways also.  Happiest Birthday Daddy, you are loved!

The Feast of Firstfruits & Easter Go for Broke Day If it scares you this is the day to go for it no matter what. One Day Without Shoes Day Today is to raise global awareness for children’s health and education.  Why shoes? Because shoes help protect from bacteria in the dirt, rusty nails, dirty needles and shoes enable feet to withstand the long distances most children in developing countries need to walk to get to school.

The End of Affirmation 365

I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.
