First Grandbaby Charlotte Marie definitely a Glimmer!

"Triggers" are widely understood, but few people know about their opposite: glimmers. Glimmers are small moments that spark joy or peace, which can help cue our nervous system to feel safe or calm. Experts say this mindset shift can make a positive impact on our mental health.

Having a tough school year can set you on the path of negativity. As we roll into this next year, I am embracing looking for Glimmers instead of allowing myself to dwell on Triggers.

I hope you all come back from the Holidays rested and ready to finish up the year.

I am so sorry I am not with you at our celebration. Sometimes doctors appointments just cannot be avoided.

Wishing you the best this Holiday Season

I hope you all have an enjoyable break. May you get the most of whatever you are seeking right now.....fun, rest, a break from routine, calm, festivites, spirituality. My husband and I are very blessed with our family. I'm pretty sure we all like each other. :) I understand that for some, holidays bring stress. May we all find something to be grateful for this season. Search for it....it is there! Looking forward to working with you in the coming year. Have a super break!

I love to decorate. Especially at Christmas.

Hoping you all have a safe, wonderful winter break and that you get to enjoy time with your family and friends. One of the things I have enjoyed over the years is helping a person or family that is going through a tough time anytime of the year but doing it anonymously. They don't have to feel they owe you anything, you aren't expecting anything and there is no concern that others will be jealous and no concern that they may find you to be a crutch. It is just being there when someone needs help. Someone I know shared this facebook link with me about the way an unknown person explained to their child who Santa really was and the idea of why they have shared Santa with their child and it reminded me of the joy I get when I am Santa for someone any time of the year and how great it is that this person is teaching his child to give to others without expecting anything in return. How wonderful our world would be if everyone was willing to be "Santa" and not just at Christmas time. Here is the link in case you haven't seen it on facebook https://facebook.com/LIMomsGroup?hc_ref=ARTb7qZk1CQOvknA9QudQYrJgatdZg50qW2R7fBkuikbLz-uHysYf5vWx9Drgg3T5A8&fref=nf&__xts__%5B0%5D=68.ARBBdhGkb_Tt2sVzwZHp1Od5nL2UXTQrxvo6WelQrOHE0gINtdgJyBH1zfMFqqIRCocr3FCWl7o5LWKeEIw0hwMrq4JEFBohPnFGR8iCQFimowD-KgD9S5HqODrNeLikBlS05J0hz_1GswIU1pfhfgY-SuSDyPI64bC0VvbTnCjp-ISwQp1i0oYWwVuAAD0koASYz4vZZrABtdZPNOO9VdCgy7SCRWBurC97CdbsNfbJt7R3OI7kmtnOHXp03GDm4UTdFQM7aao_d9v0zuEhPkDr6qzP690vzePdl2rYcGFauXYvWYuTgw&__tn__=kC-R

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas! I am trying to soak in every moment as Eden will head off to college next year. As Joelle stated, I am looking for the glimmers in my life. These two girls constantly bring glimmers to my heart, and I am so thankful. Much love to everyone!

Merry Christmas! Arin

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

This month I'm looking forward to spending a few days with my sisters and cousins in Savannah, GA right before the holidays. Then I'll fly home to spend Christmas with my kids.

I'm looking forward to a quiet and restful break.💗🎄

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and takes time to relax and do the things you love! This weekend my nephew Alex is getting married. He asked me to make cut out Christmas cookies for us to decorate like we did when they were kids for the wedding. So of course, I said YES! I baked over 300 cookies and had the family over to help decorate. We had a lot of fun. Back in October, we got another puppy to add to the craziness. Daisy has been a great addition but has kept us busy with training. I look forward to finding some time to relax and just enjoy time with family. Thanks for all you do for our students, take time for yourself over the break, YOU deserve it!
