I'm reintroducing myself just in case you don't know of me, but also I would love to bring forth my "<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">dReAM</span>" to you. My dream has been with me for many years now. I guess you can say it's been with me since my mom passed away in 1968. She was a sweet, kind, loving soul & my MOM. My Mom (Marion) passed away at the young age of 26, to be with the Lord. 1968 is the year that I lost my childhood & started becoming an adult at the very young age of 7. You see my brother Tommy & I were orphaned after the passing of my mom. Even though we had this traumatic loss, God had placed a WONDERFUL young couple in our lives ~ my mom's sister Joanne aka "Auntie" & her husband Raymond aka "Uncle Ray" Both were known through out our neighborhood & friends, as "Auntie & Uncle Ray" you see they were the very old age of 23 & 22 and newly married when they became our guardians... When my uncle ray was asked one time why he did it, he replied ~ I was called to step up to the plate and I did. My aunt & uncle were to me my second mom & dad and I was truly blessed to have had God placed them in my life...<br />
<br />
Okay, back to my "<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">dReAM</span>" as the years passed..and I got older & somewhat wiser ~ I thought it would be GRAND to bee a mom of twelve children ...YES TWELVE Children (my favorite book was "Cheaper by the Dozen" & my grandfather came from a family of 12..) yup I know who in their right mind would want 12 "ME"...but as I got older & the number amount for children became lower from 12, 11, 9, 6, 3 and then 1... but I never gave up I always knew in my heart that I would be <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">someones</span> mom... A voice inside of me said "you don't have to be a child's natural mom to bee a mom ~ you could bee their guardian, protector, care taker & second mom, just like Auntie." BINGO...<br />
<br />
That is when it all came together for me... I would find a home that would have enough place to have a few children to live in for me to care for... but I realized at some point that the children that I do take in would be from the ages of 7 (like I was when I was orphaned) to 11 years of age, these children would either be orphaned or taken away from their family... You see, I feel that a child is just like a pet don't get me wrong...what I'm trying to say is everyone LOVES a kitten & a puppy but as soon as it loses its cutest they are put to the side so that the younger ones came come forth ~ this is just like the case when it comes to children, everyone wants the baby ~ so that they can start a life with a new born but as soon as the child gets to be 7 & older they lose their ability to get a home. It's really wrong that we feel this way ~ it breaks my heart. I could have been one of these children that lost their ability to find a home, & then I would have been lost in the system as <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">soooo</span> many are. That is were I was blessed by God ~ for putting my aunt & uncle into my life. I am praying that He will blessed me again, by putting me in the path of young ones that need a home...<br />
<br />
So I bring forth to you my friends a home/hive where children can live & survive in a caring & loving environment.. I say to YOU ~ "<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">bEeLiEvE</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">iN</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">yOuR</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">dReAMs</span> .. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">tHeRE</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">iS</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">nO</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">pLAcE</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">liKE</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">hOmE</span>" the name of my hive will bee "<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">hONeY</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">cOmB</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">cOTtaGe</span>" & I, Marlene will bee the official "<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">bEe</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20">KeEPeR</span> ~ <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21">mIzZ</span> (<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22">hONeY</span>) <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_23">bEe the protector & care taker of the hive</span>" Thank you for listening & know that you should NEVER give up on bEeLiEvINg in your dReAMs too...here's wishing that they may all come true....<br />

I know that the holiday is all about family, and it is ~ but its also about giving thanks... I felt that I needed time with myself that I don't have much of... honestly being by myself didn't make me feel bitter or sad... it gave me time to reflect what has gone past in this year of 2010. How certain decisions produce different out comes, & how God & life can surprise you... </span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Celebrating by myself gave me the opportunity to experiment a little with one or two of the dishes that I ate which was a good thing...

Life seem to get in the way and I didn't have time to write about it. So much has happen since my last blOZ, I don't know where to begin. Let's say that there has been tears, cheers & new paths on the horizon for me. Some of you have inquired, why there hasn't been any posts and I just couldn't pin point the reason other than "life happen". </div><div></div><br /><br /><div>Some of you might say, why now? why start back at this time ~ well you see I've met a faboulus group of gals in the past year. They have become my artist buds & much more....two in particular are my friends Sallianne & Ellen of "Art is ....You" Sal & Ellen are 2 crazy gals that enjoy life & art they have started a FABULOUS group that get together to create art... it's like being in pre-school again & being aloud to play with scissors & all the other fun objects that you were told NO back then... These 2 gals are going to have an event this "Columbus Day Weekend" & its called "Wicked Good" ~ based on the book/musical "Wicked" & to boot they are also having an auction with the art retreat for a great foundation called "Baby Face Foundation" its for a GREAT cause... Well I decided to donate a piece of art to this auction ~<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 150px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5523208707554751954" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQL0Vpx_U-ihMhl2yDEyzqPmdGEh3Dpd0z0zA4viJqWdPk7iv82LFSr-pW1p4PHiYbQekC7pVNFJxHvnVXE2bvTi1uXkM7b_rRCupNiVJCKqPUUIgvehNOxQpsxi7SMaWas6jQntQNYdnQ/s200/tin+do+aka+dot+tin.jpg" /> her name is "TinDo aka DotTin"... Okay, okay let me get to the point ~ my name is on the list of artistic people that are donating pieces & when you click on their name it goes to their blOZ/web site.... Well you see for some reason mine is going the Red Bank Antiques Center, which I don't even belong too .... That's when I said "Marlene you're not "RBAC" you're <strong>"Bee Serendipitous"</strong> so go out there & fix that gosh darn ~ start blOZzing & get your butt into gear to be entering more ~ that's the truth & I'm sticking to it & that's all I saying" Now I off to let Sallianne know to change my location of my name so that I can have you all over again...and sit me, have a spot of tea & blOZ with me....</div><br /><div></div><div>Well I off.... to accomplish much more so that I can tell you all about... Happy trails to you until we meet again....</div><br /><div></div><div>Toodles Noodles...Have a honey of a day!</div><div>Grace Peace & many blessings 2 U</div><div>Marlene xo ;)</div></div>mIzZ (hONeY) bEe aka Marlenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15425220176958770305noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1449202778083063738.post-27776962929214310312009-03-18T18:13:00.000-07:002009-03-18T19:13:42.958-07:00To New Beginnings.....
