Vive La Provence…(and a jolly cup o’tea!)

So, ever since I was a teenager sitting in high school French class, I have dreamed of going to Southern France.  I have a love of all things Provincial…

I also adore English Tea…I’ve had “High Tea” in London and it was everything I thought it would be. :-)

Yesterday, Byron and I went to Epcot to visit both “England” and “France” to pick up a few things for the upcoming “Girl’s Night Out” I’m hosting for the Women of C3.

I’m so excited to have these ladies to my home, and since it’s at my house…

WE’RE HAVING A TEA PARTY!!

I also picked up some French Provincial decorations.  Hey, all things with me are….eclectic!  I definitely think French decor and “High Tea” can blend together in harmony!

It’s going to be a blast!  If you haven’t joined the “Women of C3″ contact list, please visit the website, and send your name and email info to womenofc3@c3orlando.com.

Paix et amour à vous!

It’s Friday…i think….

….yeah, it is.

I’m in such a fog….just worn out - and it’s gonna be a crazy/busy weekend.  I’ve been getting ready for the yard sale:

Thanks:  Andrea, Karen, Matt & Monica, and Kayleigh & Barry for your help getting ready…

I’m really looking forward to getting up early and being in the middle of the hustle & bustle of the day.  Plus, it’s our Ashley’s SWEET SIXTEEN!  (I’ll write more about that tomorrow - I can’t believe she’s turning 16….wow!).

Then, Sunday @ C3 is a special day.  It’s the one year anniversary of the sale of the old church buildings.  There are many emotions around this anniversary, but mainly I’m just so glad to be where we now are.

It’s going to be a busy weekend…too busy to spend a lot of time thinking about the past - we don’t have time for that…so we’ll just keep moving forward….

I’ll see you on the flip side!

Come see me @ The Avalon Yard Sale and help provide some much needed things for a beautiful family immigrating from Cuba.  It’s gonna be a great day! :-)

(You can bring me stuff to sell or things to donate to the family like:

  • toiletries
  • clothing for boys (5 and 14)
  • toys
  • school supplies
  • canned goods and household supplies).

Hope to see you there!

Peace.

Got Junk?

….and I don’t mean “in the trunk”….but I digress!

So, I’m going through the house…and GARAGE (there really should be some kind of WARNING signs on the door)

- anyway, I’m going through my junk trying to find things to sell at the yard sale on Saturday….

If you’ve checked out “The Women of C3″ site, then you know I plan to sell everything I can get my hands on at the Avalon Park Yard Sale this Saturday (Oct. 4th / 8am to noon) with all the proceeds going to aid the family that is moving here from Cuba. (Read previous blog).

Anyway, if any of you have junk…..stuff……whatever that you would like for me to “move” for you, please let me know.  I’d be happy to unload your junk and it will help me help others in the process - IT’S A WIN/WIN!

So, just give me a holler if you want to get rid of your junk…

….no promises when it comes to the “in the trunk” kind, I’ve got my own issues there…

…but I digress!

Peace out.

Where your heart is…

It’s Monday…

I often find it hard to get outside my own head on Monday…so, I’m going to be intentional today.

There are more important things to think about besides myself.

Byron preached about this yesterday @ C3...about denying yourself, taking up your cross and following.

With this in mind, I’m thinking that the best way for me to get my eyes off of myself is to focus on others.  And there are so many others to focus on…

There is a young lady in our church that has moved to The States from Cuba.  I found out yesterday that the rest of her family will join her soon.  Especially in light of the hurricanes, but also because of where they are coming from, they will arrive with very little…if anything…in their possession.  There are two boys coming - one 14 and one 5 who will be in desperate need of all the things boys need…from clothes to basic supplies.  Also, the home in which they will be living will be full - 10 people in 1 house! - so there is a great need for basic supplies to make a busy household run….

So, I’m focused…on this immediate need - on what I can do to help….

…and I’m asking you to consider joining me.

I’m going to also be posting more details of my plan to help this family on “The Women of C3″ blog site.  We have taken the summer off, but are now ready to swing back into action.  Please check out the site and leave your email - details are on site - for further updates.

The most graceful barbarians know...LOVE WINS!

The most graceful barbarians know...LOVE WINS!

I know we can make a difference in this family’s  life…

…their need can make our own troubles pale by comparison.  I need that today…a focus on others rather than myself.

I’m remembering today that “where my treasure is…my heart will be also”.

After all, it’s all about love…

…and LOVE WINS…every time.

Peace.
