you are my sunshine,
my only sunshine.
you make my happy,
when skies are grey.
you’ll never know dear,
how much i love you.
mornings are so special. m. & i lie in bed until we hear our little one begin to stir. he usually wakes up around the time that the sun is peaking up in the morning sky. eventually roman will start to talk his beautiful, baby babble. m. will get up & greet him, change his diaper, and bring him into our room. he puts him down on his side of the bed. mama turns to greet baby. the biggest smile comes across his sweet face. he crawls across the bed and into my arms as quickly as his little legs will carry him. i hold him tight for cuddles and then he nurses until his belly is round & full. after nursing we usually play in bed for awhile, silly games & songs. all the while the morning sun begins to shine outside of the bedroom window. soon we are up & out on our way to start the day. i just couldn’t imagine sweeter mornings. ♥
Every Friday, I post my favourite links, posts, & resources from around the Web. Expect to learn, grow, & be inspired.

“Do the difficult things while they are easy and do the great things while they are small. A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.” —Lao Tzu
1. The Rebel’s Manifesto: “1. Do the opposite of what you were taught in school.” This is just chock-full of superb advice.
4. Post Secret: If you are one of the ten people left on Earth that isn’t following Post Secret, then I suggest you start now. 😉 PostSecret is an ongoing community art project where people mail in their secrets anonymously on one side of a postcard. It is completely ad-free & gets updated every Sunday. It’s incredible.
5. A critical message about food. Yes, it is a bit lengthy, but worth every moment of your time.
Additionally, last week I watched Food, Inc. and to say that my perception about food is drastically altered would be a catastrophic understatement. Every single person living in the USA (perhaps others, too) must watch this film.
6. A happy mayor: “Not only is Mayor Hazel McCallionhappy of the City of Mississauga in Canada happy at work, she is also 88 years old, has been elected 11 times, has a 91% approval rating AND has kept her city debt-free.” Dear Heaven: Give me a fraction of this woman’s health, enthusiasm, and spirit! I’ll be set forever.
7. The Crushing Problem of Student Debt: Excellent post about the growing problem of student loan debt faced by so many Americans. This is an excellent follow-up to my two part series about my own financialjourney.
8. Overcoming Fear: I write about overcoming fear quite a bit here; but every now & then it is nice to hear someone else’s perspective on the subject. I really enjoyed this post about overcoming fear, particularly Jared’s personal story about where he allowed fear to take him in his own life.
10. Renegade Health Care Reform: Don’t worry, I haven’t gone all political on you! Just click it. I’m sure you’ll agree, no matter which side of the fence you’re standing on.
To all of my friends that celebrate Easter, may your Easter be filled with love & light. To all of my friends who do not, may your weekend be full of passion & grace. xo
Dena,
He looks more mature & more beautiful every week. R looks like a different baby from the one I met in Decemer. His eyes are so expressive & I can wait to give him kisses again.
