Stay Tuned

I apologize for not blogging yesterday. I had a lot of things going on and by the time I got home I was done! I went straight to bed. I fell asleep reading the last two verses of my chapter, for my scripture reading. I’m trying to be more consistent. I finally woke up and finished the chapter and went to sleep. I think I said my prayer… Hmm. I will put pictures up from the 29^th and today- the 30^th- tomorrow. Today is the last day of the truth challenge. I’m actually kind of sad. I’ve had fun posting something almost every day with a purpose. It was fun while it lasted!

Yesterday and today’s challenge…

Day 30: A letter to yourself, tell yourself EVERYTHING you love about yourself.

Dear Leonani-

Good job in finishing the 30 Days of Truths Challenge! It’s been quite the adventure. I think we’ve learned a lot about ourselves. And I think we’ve come to terms with other things, too. Well, as today’s challenge instructs, I am writing to tell you, me, what I love about us. This is so difficult to word- as far as addressing us.

I love our, my…

Smile

Laid backness

Ability to make others smile/happy

Ability to find/look for the good in others

Happy-go-lucky attitude

Ability to get along w/ pretty much any and everyone

Eyes

Feet

Patience for others

Humor

Testimony and how it grows in so many ways all the time

Love for cooking/baking

Interest in different things and trying them out

New found loves- whatever they may be

Remember to be happy and to make yourself happy before trying to make the rest of the world happy. Global change must first start with us. Love yourself as Jesus loves you. Don’t give up and “just keep swimming.”

Love, Me!

Today’s song is from the movie “Hocus Pocus.” I have not seen this movie in years! I know it comes on every year for Halloween and is played constantly from the beginning of the month (almost) but I always seem to miss it. This year I got it on the DVR and I am going to watch it tomorrow! J This is the one Winnie (Bette Midler) sings at the party with all of the parents. Did you know that Thackery Binx (the cat who used to be a boy) is played by the same guy who is McGee on NCIS? He is so young in the movie, I almost didn’t believe it. J But the movie did come out in 1993 so I guess that’s what happens when a movie is 17 years old! Holy cow!

I Put a Spell on You- Winifred Sanderson

I put a spell on you

And now you are mine

You can't stop the things I do

I ain't lying

It's been 300 years

Right down to the day

Now the witch is back

And there's hell to pay

I put a spell on you

And now

You are mine

Hello Salem

My name’s Winnie. What’s yours?

I put a spell on you

And now you're gone

Gone, gone, gone, so long!

My whammy fell on you

And it was strong

So strong, so strong, so strong!

Your wretched little lives have all been cursed

'Cause of all the witches working

I'm the worst!

I put a spell on you,

And now you're mine

Watch out, watch out, watch out, watch out, she ain't lyin'

If you don't believe

You'd better get superstitious

Ask my sisters!

She's vicious

I put a spell on you

A wicked spell

I put a spell on you

Sisters!

Bye-bye

Day 29: Something you hope to change about yourself, and why.

I hope to change my lack of self discipline in money, and eating. I think it is somehow programmed into my brain that I need to spend almost every penny I have in my account. I am working so desperately to stop that programming and to stick to a budget. I’m still new at it so it’s still hard, BUT… I am seeing some progress! J As far as eating goes… I just LOVE food. I don’t like to reject food and I don’t like to waste it. So I eat it. All of it. I know that it’s not good for me to do so but such is the life of a Polynesian. I have decided that I need to be more mindful of what and how much I eat and also that I need to exercise, consistently. I’ll get there one day!

Today’s song is also from “Hocus Pocus,” the one that Sarah (played by Sarah Jessica Parker) sings. It’s short, but fun! Be strong, be happy, and find the joy in your life!

Come Little Children- Sarah Sanderson

Come, little children
I'll take thee away
Into a land of enchantment
Come, little children
The time's come to play
Here in my garden of magic
