I’m visiting with my daughter and her computer is a tad slow. Takes forever to wend my way through the WordPress process. The computer needs a tune up…badly. :(

And as you say…celebrating our children is really not just a one day affair.

…sending long overdue hugs overseas…to you…hugmamma. :)

Love and support are 2 key ingredients to raising children, I think. Everything else seems to fall in line if we provide them with unconditional love…and stand with them, no matter what. At least that’s been our experience. My husband was raised similarly…

and he turned out to be…a gem of a human being. :)

The trick is…discovering what they are…and using them. I like to think our family of 3 did just that.

The advice I’d pass along to anyone interested in taking it? Don’t allow others to dissuade you from realizing your dreams. After all, it is YOUR life. Advice is one thing…overbearing control is another. Been there…done that.

…prefer listening to my own voice… :)

Extremely proud of you and Brandon and . . of course . . .my niece!

That’s one of the reasons I retired from the work force…and the rat race…after our daughter was born. The primary reason being, however, that she was a miracle baby having arrived 16 years after my husband and I were married. I wasn’t about to let a stranger care for our precious bundle.

That’s not to say my daughter’s dance career hasn’t been fraught with its own challenges. The difference though is that to this day…she absolutely loves what she’s doing.

So that her privacy is maintained, I prefer not to divulge her whereabouts. I hope you understand. It’s the mother thing. When she moves on from there I might feel more comfortable mentioning the company’s name.

hugs for your comment…as always. :)

You may not be the technological whiz kid…but being their boss isn’t bad for someone who graduated with a BA in English some 20+ years ago from a small, Catholic college in Hawaii.

I think you done good, pa…mighty proud of you!

hugs from your own…hugmamma… :lol:

Where is she dancing now?

]]> Comment on there but for the grace of god… by hugmamma http://hugmamma.com/2013/05/08/there-but-for-the-grace-of-god/#comment-16123 Sat, 11 May 2013 07:27:38 +0000 http://hugmamma.com/?p=25427#comment-16123 I agree that knowledge is the best weapon. It’s not fool-proof, but it’s something. In my opinion, allowing innocent children to venture forth without a clue…is sheer negligence on the part of parents. Better to be over-prepared than not prepared at all.

You’ve a heart overflowing with compassion, which is no surprise.

We should all pray for children who continue to go missing. Take care… :)

My daughter has told me how scared I made her when she was growing up. Maybe I overdid it a little. But anyone would be hard pressed to mess with her now. Her still tiny little self will take on Goliath and give it her all. She is a tough little cookie who won’t take anything from anyone. She would spar with the President if she had too.

My heart breaks for those girls and the ones still missing. I am so very, very happy that they escaped. If I could have done cartwheels I would have done them in the streets if I could have. I think they should look that house over for that other girl who is lost from the same area.

I so wish that little Maddy and Natalie Holliway could be found. Also on my mind are a young woman from Charlotte NC and a young boy from the North West who went missing about twenty years ago. I still think about them and pray they could come home.

And that poor little baby in Kansas! Oh dear God please bring her home safe and sound.

All my best to Pat …a mom whom I’ve always felt deserves the title…Mother of the Year. I’ve only known her to put her family first. God bless her…as I’m sure he does. :)

Love between a mother and daughter endures all things. Knowing you…I’m certain that’s the relationship you share with…your “sunshine.”

You bless me each time you choose to repost “Believe in Yourself.” And so I send tons of hugs and aloha to you…on Mother’s Day…and all days. :)

Happy Mother’s Day to you, hugmamma…. :D
(I thought I’d add “Believe in Yourself” to PP on Sunday…. especially for my sunshine…and all other “sunshines” who stop by. Okay with you? ) (hmmm…maybe the background should be sunshine, rather than night sky… maybe so… :) )

The warmth you speak of is something folks like you come by naturally. You just found a place where others feel as you do…

aloha and mahalo… :)

Sometimes they intersect; sometimes they don’t. That makes for an interesting life…until one tries to hurt the other. That’s when interesting turns to…sad…and unacceptable. Neither sex has a monopoly on doing harm. Both are equally capable.

thanks for explaining what men might think…

His only method of judgement is her physical appearance. Good teeth, broad hips, long legs, prominent breasts, etc. The female looks for a sperm contributor who is also healthy and strong. One who is a good provider and defender. Nothing more, nothing less. Then, along came MAN. Man, because of his reasoning capacity, introduced the concept of love. Love created the need to posses. The more he/she possessed, the more secure he/she felt. This led to wars. Modern man took that one step further and introduced MONEY! The female of the human specie discovered that money bought beauty. And beauty bought man. The female of the specie WINS! Aloooooha!
