To start off, thank you all for your lovely birthday wishes. :-) I had one of the most wonderful birthdays I have had in a very long time.

So...what to say? Life is good. :-) My morning show is going well. A little rocky since it is still early in the season, but I am sure it will pick up. I started another show this week, but won't be performing in it until the 19th of the month.

So much has happened, I don't even know what to share. Things with my ex are better. We weren't really allowed any time to process things and to make the transition to friends, so it has taken longer to get where I am, but I am glad I am finally here. I realize that my God is bigger than anything that can happen to me and while deep down there may still be some pain, I am ok with not being with him. We are friends. He has even spoken with me about another girl...at my urging. All my feeling toward him have turned only to friendship..and that is a good thing.

I'm not sure where my life is going now, since I thought I would be married at the beginning of next year, but I know it will be a great year. I have already learned so much about myself and learn more every day. I spend a lot of time with friends, I work a lot, and I simply enjoy life. If my morning show falls through for next season I am thinking about doing a cruise. Singing on a cruise...not just going on one. :-)

We are having a game night tonight for my bday. I'm excited...some close friends of mine as well as some of my British friends. We're going to have a blast.

K. Gotta go. Take care

Peace out. :-P

Recently my boyfriend broke up with me. Of course the stereotypical thoughts crossed my mind. Maybe it would be different if I were better looking, a better performer, a nicer person, a better person, a godlier woman. But I realized that to think those things would be pointless. Instead, I wanted to look at the kind of woman I am...and the kind of woman I desire to be. I know that through this man that I was so willing to spend the rest of my life with, God had revealed to me more of what type of woman I should be. Because of "him" I will be a better woman, wife and mother. And I am thankful and blessed.

So let me ask you...what kind of woman do you want? If you are a woman, what kind do you want to be? How do you want to be remembered? If you are a man, what kind of woman would you want your daughter to be and are you with someone who epitomizes that? Are you the kind of woman that will leave a legacy worth leaving and that will imprint on your children a model of how they wish to be when they grow up?

An amazing model of a good woman is found in Proverbs, a book in the Bible. In the 31st chapter, a king is getting advice from his mother on what he should look for in a wife. A virtuous woman.

In these times, "virtue" is a word not often heard. A woman of virtue is pure, honest, industrious, thrifty, strong in character, kind, wise and holy. There is a lot involved. No one said it would be easy. But it is worth it. To be a woman worthy of being called a Proverbs 31 woman is worth the work. And luckily we do not have to go through the transformation alone.

I am reading a book called Beautiful in God's Eyes by Elizabeth George. It is a beautiful study on this woman and how in everyday life we (women) can strive to be more like her. As I read about this ideal woman, I realize how far I am from being the woman I want to be. But I am working on it. Every day.

Are you a woman who strives to continually develop into a godlier woman? Is your girlfriend someone who you can be proud of...not just because of the way she looks, but because of the character she possesses?

I know that I am a work in progress. I'm only thankful that I realize that now, when I am young, so that one day I can be the woman, wife and mother that God intended.

Well hello old friends. It is I. A lot has been going on in my life, but I really don't feel as if I should share it all. I'm going through a "transitional" period of my life, but all is well. I just wanted to drop a line to say hello, thank you for all the nice comments you leave, and God bless.

Catch ya on the flip side
