I AM


I am. Two powerful words that we need to remember to place positive words after.                                                                                                                                              
 The word Enough I decided to place after I Am on my Murraytalk t-shirts because personally I think it's a great thing to know and believe in the value of your own self-worth. It's how I see myself  - I am enough as I am.  I may not be what others expect me to be, but I am who I am. I Am Strong, Happy, Thankful, Blessed, Confident. I am a daughter, sister, friend, grandmother, a wife. I am bent not broken, misunderstood, creative, different, the owner of my actions, good enough. I am passionate, spiritual, believer of miracles. I am not what happened to me. I am me - I am enough!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       When you grow up in an environment like I did where someone daily is trying to break your spirit and self-worth - at the end of the day you sometimes don't feel good enough. I'm a fixer so for me I wanted to fix everyone and everything back then. I wanted peace, I wanted them to be happy... feel that they were enough, but in doing that I kind of lost who I was and felt defeated. I had to begin telling myself that I was strong enough, good enough, and could do all things through Christ. I had to remind myself that he created me so I am enough. I guess in a way I'm still trying to fix things and save the world, but people need to hear it or see the words sometimes as a reminder. It's easy to get lost when you're in the middle of the storm. I just want from toddlers to the 100 plus year old to know and believe that they are enough.                                                                        
 I often think back to that ridiculous chant that we would say to each other on the playground as kids - sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me. Are you kidding me - where did that crap come from? There is absolutely no truth in that. Words hurt!

Choose your words carefully, Be you, live and love your life, and remember You are enough.



 Peace, Hugs & Love







                                                                                                     










I am determined to be cheerful and happy in whatever situation I may find myself. For I have learned that the greater part of our misery or unhappiness is determined not by our circumstance but by our disposition.

Have An Open Heart

As I was sorting through pictures this morning I came across pictures of my seven-year-old granddaughter with girls that she met for the first time on a 2 day stay in Prescott. I was drawn to the smiles on their faces and the love in their eyes. They met, accepted each other, and acted as if they had been lifelong friends. Oh, how I had forgotten about the innocence of a child. The color of skin, the size of a body, the structure of a face does not matter. They are ready to accept and love unconditionally until we and society teach them differently. There was nothing but smiles and laughter as they danced, made beaded jewelry, and ate. They made sure that they all were a part of whatever they were participating in. They cared about each other's feelings and made sure that everyone was having fun and was happy. Why is it that we grow to become so obsessed with appearance and behavior of others that we miss seeing the light or the struggles in others?  We're so q...

I shared with you how I had my son leave my home because he's not in a good place right now.  Yesterday he was sitting outside my home when I pulled up.  I asked him why he was here - Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful he's okay but I can't be an enabler.                                                                               He had a couple of reasons why he popped in, but I know the real one is that he thought no one would be home and he was hoping he could get in to eat, crash, and find something to sell at a pawn shop. As horrible as that sounds it's the reality of how a drug addict operates.                                                     ...

Fun At The Duce

The rain didn't stop us from having a great night at The Duce. The food was amazing, the DJ was fun, and I saw a lot of Arizona talent doing karaoke. One of the reasons I chose The Duce is because I love the ambiance. They have it set up with all the things that I grew up with...it's like a big playground for adults. The Duce is filled with ping pong tables, hula hoops, bean bag toss, punching bags, pull up bars, boxing ring, stationary bikes, foosball, karaoke, and a dance floor! There's also a little soda shop area if you want to grab a milk shake, and retail if you want something inspirational or vintage. Imagine a warehouse full of people of all ages having  old school fun.  Although we didn't get to enjoy the patio or order directly off the food truck due to the rain, it was a great night. After last night we decided it would be fun to do a family event there - the grandchildren would have a blast! Thanks again to everyone that came out in the rain, and to ...
