Sometime ago I mentioned that if my blog post featured a picture other than Elijah, fewer people would read it? I've also noticed that if my blog post has a cheerful or happy title fewer people read it as well...I don't know. I don't do this blog for "numbers" or profit. I do it for me and for Elijah..but it does show me when I sign in how many people have read each blog. I have some blogs that have been read by close to 1,000 people, and some that have barely been read at all. I am seriously thankful for anyone who has ever read my blog...it is just a funny thing to see what affects the number of readers I have daily.
ANYWAYs....
Today I finally finished all my mini pumpkins!!! Yay! I ended up with a Pete the Cat, a school bus, a gumball machine, a fall Pusheen the Cat scene, a cute skeleton head, and another cute ghost pattern pumpkin. I am going to display them all at pumpkin glow Thursday and then Alex and I will find places to leave them on porches, or hand them over as Halloween treats in memory of Elijah.
It has been really fun painting them, but I am glad they are "finished!" Now I can touch them up and take nice pictures and get them ready for a blog post on my art page...which is doing really well! I really feel like this is something I might actually make happen...lol. I know I have said that before. But I have a good start on this, and I can actually start integrating some of my other projects in slowly, once I get a strong foundation built. This will give me the credibility needed to help with projects like my Elijah's Smiles campaign.
I told Levi today that I really need to come up with my own "Pusheen the cat." Something simple and cute to create different scenes and stories for and share on my page. I'm not even sure where to begin...but I will reflect and pray about it, and hopefully it will come to me. That is how I thought up my whole Elijah's Smiles Change the World book. I meditated and then went to sleep and then I woke up and changed everything I wrote and finished the book! It is amazing what peace of mind and rest can do for you.
Speaking of, for my peace of mind, please continue to send love...my bank account is still frozen. My bank will not let me speak to anyone on the phone--it goes right to an automated message that gives me no option to speak to an operator, and I have sent them the documentation they are asking for several times, but they keep asking for it and won't clarify what I have wrong or why any of this is even happening. I have to have this money for my retreat. I have other people depending on me. And it is getting kind of stressful now, every day this goes on. So send love, say prayers, and wrap me in light... I just have to find a way to let it go so it doesn't consume me, but still be firm and get the answers I need and my money back!
And sleep... I need sleep. lol.
Oh! I meant to say how thankful I am for our first day of learning in the new classroom. The boys did art, Julien and Gabe played a game with me and they did really well at their "lessons." It was a little bit hectic at first, but I feel like it is going to work out nicely for now...
Okay okay...sleep. lol.
Good night everyone. I love you all.
Go change the world. Do it for Elijah.
Thank you!
Hi my sweet boy.
Hi my little sunflower.
Hi my Elijah.

I sincerely hope I am making you proud.
I am doing my best.
I just miss you so much.

Always.
