So far in life we are her very favorite place to visit. I think it is because we have a million kids and a crazy dog for her to play with, but selfishly of course I say it is because she loves us! I think it is also because we let her be crazy with us too! Last year when she came for a visit I introduced her to the art of powder sugaring your chocolate chip waffles! It was indeed truly priceless! Now, I make my waffles out of whole wheat of course, so that when we add all the sugary stuff to them we still can feel healthy about them! But, for her the best part is the powdered sugar! I first let her make her own waffle and then it happened! I let her put on her own powdered sugar with a powdered sugar shaker that I have (it works like sprinkles). A few sprinkles and she was hooked, line and sinker! She wanted to shake more and more on, and because I am the world’s best aunt, of course I let her. What cracked me up to pieces though is when she took the shaker from my hand and informed me “I’ll clean that for you” and before I knew it she licked all the sugar off the top of the lid, over and over until it was clean! And, again….because I am a good aunt, I let her!

The saying was told to me by a wise man who was sharing with me the importance of guarding one’s heart. He explained to me that the more trash I allowed to go through my heart, the more that would take root there. He advised that I choose with care the friends that I had, the music that I listened to, the TV that I chose to watch, and so on. As goofy as I thought he was at my young age, as time passed and I began to grow into a young adult, I realized that he spoke truth to my heart. The more that I chose to keep consistent garbage from entering my heart, the less of a direct impact it had on my life. I realized that negative friends sprouted growth to negativity in my own heart…that trashy music and TV brought forth garbage from own my lips and attitude. I realized that if I wanted positive growth in my life, from my heart, that I had to have “good in, so that good would come out”!
