Welcome!
have a look around
make yourself comfortable...
I'd like to introduce you to my fresh, new blog!
She's been completely revamped
organized
fluffed
pampered {while i've been under the weather}
reworked
by my truly amazing blog designer...
who took my words...
my ramblings
my countless emails
laughed with me at how truly clueless I am about the language of blog design
who stood by me in poor health
waited patiently
with understanding
&
kindness.
We worked together to create what I lovingly call...
Lulu and Co.
my happy place
the place where I share my inspirations, loves, dreams
I look forward to sharing them with all of
Y O U
my readers who take the time to visit
leave words of encouragement... giggles... understanding
you leave behind
a little bit of you
Let the new and improved and healthy begin!
thank you for all your well wishes and concern last week
the surgery really did a number on me...
i couldn't have made it through without my hubby and kids by my side
Today, is a big day
blog reveal
&
off bed rest
just in time to load my family onto an airplane
for our long overdue family vacation!
p.s. my new URL is http://www.luluandcompany.net/
you will be redirected
so no worries!
xoxo

I was taken my complete and utter surprise last week...I was moving right along
feeling what I call "a little off"
but not enough to stop me...
I mean really...
who has time to stop when it's summer time
I've four chickadees at home and darling hubby is away
this is not the best time to feel "a little off"
plus, change is in the air and that always has a way of making me feel better
remember I told you Lulu and Co. {the blog} is under construction!!!! yippee
my remedy....
was an extra latte
well, the extra latte tasted good
but
unfortunately it was not the cure!
anyhoo, do you wanna know what took me down...
to the ER
all the while thinking my kidney was about to rupture
or
a baby I did not know I was expecting was about to come out my back...
yep friends...
i have a Kidney stone
a silly, a complete pain and causing a major ruckus in my normal happy go happy life!
I'll be back soon
right side up
&
hopefully with a new look!
Wishing you a sunny day that has you dancing by the seashore or some body of water!!!
xoxo,
sharing a secret

Come closer....
a little closer
little more...
I've a secret to share
to whisper in your ear...
this is big...
really big
you know by now I'm a paint brush yielding gal with a latte dangling from my pinkie
when inspiration hits
I'm ready to
jump
without a second thought
a trail of paint chips are left in the dust
Well my sweet friends...
change is coming
I'm sooo excited
okay super excited is more like it
it's something that I've been thinking about for a while
but actually had some self control and held off
for just a little longer
til' the time felt right
&
guess what?
It feels right
right now
Summer time goodness has me feeling
energized
I'm ready to
J u m p
ready to change things UP
Can you guess what I'm about to change?
I'll give you a hint....
It's one thing I haven't changed in 3 whole years...
{yes, i did say 3 years!!!!}
can you believe it...me not change something for 3 years~ heeehee
that's huge!!!!
Have you guessed yet?
I'm just going to whisper it to you....
before I jump

Quiet Confidence~

Part 2
I love being behind the camera documenting this new adventure and how it's shaping my girls.
For an hour and a half there I am capturing their experience ...
&
to my surprise I'm learning too!
What I'm learning is that my children are strong.They are eager to learn
not hesitant
or timid
They are quiet.
The setting is peaceful
The only words spoken are the instructions from their teacher...
the tone is soft
their attention is sharp
they absorb her words
and
execute the instructions.
I'd even go so far and call it magical....
the confidence a rider needs to feel about their horse
and the horse needs to know the rider feels secure
it's
magical
The nonverbal communication is beautiful.
Their lessons are back to back.
As one rides
the other sister watches
quietly
in the 90 degree heat
with blazing sun beating down on their sweaty faces...
their focus remains on the lesson at hand
on how each other is doing
without competition.
When their individual lessons are over
they work together
unsaddle
unbridled
brush
quietly together...
I see two girls...
two individual
two personalities
different ages
who have different strengths
different likes/dislikes
I see two girls who have a passion for animals
who love to laugh
who share the same love for this quiet time
who are leaders not followers
I see two girls who I am blessed to call daughters
&
who call me
mom
series to be continued...
xo,
riding into July...
