One Life
This morning I awoke to the phone ringing. My father was calling to tell me that my Grandfather was very sick and probably wasn't going to make it through the day....
At approximately 10:30 AM, in the presence his children and grandchildren, Donald Crawford Newton Sr. passed away. It's interesting. I have heard on many occasion that atheists don't exist in an emergency room. Now granted we weren't in the emergency room, and my family is catholic, but until recently I have never been a strong believer in God. I have always prided myself on knowing that anything is possible. That there is no way to know who is right and who is wrong. About a year and a half ago I found CSL where they showed me that you don't have to chose between the two. You can believe in God and infinite possibility. I chose to believe that God IS infinite possibility.
Kathianne has spent a lot of time lately focusing on the power of Love. The idea that if you believe something is true, then it is, because it is true to YOU. And the more you believe in something, the more true it becomes to YOU. In the end that is really all that matters right? You can't be fueled by other peoples beliefs and passions, simply inspired by them. My Grandfather was a passionate man. He believed in God and he believed that when his day came, he would be greeted by my Grandmother in Heaven. That was his truth. I find comfort knowing that my Grandfather is now living his truth.
Grandpa - Please know that of all the wonderful men and women I have met in this world, you were the one I looked up to most. Thank you for all you have taught me. You will be forever in my heart.
And so it is.

Things I want but can't justify...
I was browsing Macy's and just saw that they now have fiesta place settings in chocolate brown! If only I could justify dropping $50 on two new place settings to go with my peacock, shamrock, sunflower, and tangerine. Luckily Christmas isn't too far away :)
