Exciting week

I'm Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo excited about this week because there are two things coming up that are BIG for our company K.I.T.S. On Wednesday I have an meeting with a gentlemen from Hawaii State Civil Defense to see how we can help care home operators in Hawaii be better prepared for disasters. Then on Friday there is the Caregivers Coalition at the Capital. That one is great because its the first time we will have a table at the event! Thanks to all the help from my Mentors I have chosen to focus on the Senior arm of K.I.T.S. and I think that this is the direction it needs to go in.
As always Michael is SUPER supportive. I couldn't have been more blessed in choosing him as my husband. He supports and loves me and my kookiness unconditionally and truly lets me fly my kite. Thank Heaven for Husbands!

Haiti Earthquake

I feel so much sadness over the chaos and loss in Haiti. I can't help but wonder had more families been prepared how many lives would have been spared and people helped. It puts K.I.T.S. so much more at the forefront of my mind. Getting out there and teaching people how to prepare their families when natural or man made disasters occur is our top priority. I felt really helpless when I saw all the footage of the aftermath and thought gosh look at all those people who needed the things we provide. How many babies had to go with out diapers, wipes, and formula? How many seniors didn't have access to their medications or a plan to get the medical treatments like Chemotherapy or dialysis they so desperately need? There is so much good we can and need to do. With our busy schedules and Michael's new job I have put time for K.I.T.S. pretty low on the priority list. After watching images of the people suffering in Haiti my resolve to dedicate more time and efforts to K.I.T.S. has been solidified. We can and will help others get the peace of mind of being prepared for these unexpected events.

Christmas

With all the crazy running around we do day to day its no surprise that Christmas is 7 days away! My goal is to bring Christ back into CHRISTmas for all of the 7 days ahead in an effort to redirect our children s focus to the Lord. We have much to be grateful for and our Savior's birth is top on our list.

The Holiday Season

I LOVE the HOLIDAY SEASON! Most especially CHRISTMAS!!!! This year is a tight one for everyone economically especially our family. But I think it will allow us to focus more on the most important aspect of Christmas which is the birth of our Savior. During a Relief Society activity last month we received stories about Christmas. One story for each day leading up till that day. So I've been reading one a night to the boys before bed by a little Christmas tree(also made on one of our enrichment nights) and it really helps refocus us away from all the commercialism of the season. I don't know what Michael is getting me this year but honestly, by trying to remain centered on the birth of Christ, what ever it is will be great cause I won't be concerned so much with the "what will I gets of this holiday" as much as the "what can I gives"

Key's

I don't know how many of you I've shared this with but I love Antique keys! Most especially old fashioned ones that open pretty door knobs. I think what draws me to them the most is that each one is unique and special in their own way. No two keys are exactly the same. Second I love what they symbolize the power to unlock opportunities that await behind closed doors, and that we hold that power in the palm of our hands.
Whats cooler then wanting a key collection...actually having one! Let me explain. One evening when my husband, my future mother in law, and I were finishing dinner at their house and I had mentioned that one day I wanted to have a key collection. He and his mother looked at each other and just started to laugh. I was then told that Michael's grandmother HAD a key collection and would hang them from the wooden beams in her ceiling. I would love to see all those keys hanging around just showing you all the possibilities that life has in store! I swear if this woman and I were on this earth at the same time we would be soul mates! This was funny to them because in a lot of ways I am like Michael's grandma Mummi and this just confirmed that I was destined to become a part of the family! Thank heavens for keys!
