Although intermittent downpours have been happening in my part of the world, I am not ready to give up summer just yet. I am still holding out hope that we would hit the beach. :-) When we do include it in our plans, I have to drag out our luggage. Aside from changes of clothes, underwear and pajamas; there must be swimming clothes, plus the kids' goggles and kickboards. They love frolicking in water! When all that's prepared, save for the vitamins and toothbrushes that I leave until the … [Read more...]
Attitude + Action = Result, Cymplified!
Attitude Matters Is it a coincidence that when I was about to post this, I came across this video on Facebook? I was cleaning out tons of paper from our house, (read: fire hazard) and I found a torn page. I remembered I was hanging out in the girls' bathroom of my college in between classes and saw this on the wall. I pulled out one of my notebooks and a pen then started writing in block letters. Attitude I did it. I will. I can. I will try. I think I can. How do … [Read more...]
Today Is My Day, Cymplified!
Today is my day. by Ceemee Today, I will look in the mirror and smile. I will smile at my pores, my wrinkles, my lines - my flaws! I will also cry when I feel like it. Today, I will dance when I hear upbeat music come on. I will enjoy every wiggle and every waggle of my body. I will also sit still and simply stare into space.

Love In The Little Moments Of Connection, Cymplified!
When To Hold On? When he reaches out, brushes your fingertips using his and takes hold of your hand across the table... When you catch her gazing at you over the large steaming cup of coffee cradled in her hands while she's about to take a sip... When he looks up from something he's working on and you glance at him at the same time, both of your eyes meet, then you smile a little and he grimaces a bit...

There Might Be No One Word, Cymplified!
You know what? There might be no one word for my 2016. Past Words Yep! But, before I explain why... Here's a brief "history" of my words for the past three years. In 2013, I started with the word Shine. I wanted to shine for Jesus. Then, I moved on to Freedom the year after that. I wanted to be free from clutter and negativity. Last year, my word became words and they were: Own less, create more. I did get to purge toys and baby paraphernalia, but last Christmas we received more … [Read more...]
After Holidays Thank You Prayer, Cymplified!
Dear Lord, On Christmas day... I want to offer my thank you prayer. As I got down on all fours, collecting, crumpling and stuffing wrapping paper into paper bags, I want to thank You for the mess that is Christmas morning. You have shown me that I am blessed with children who love opening presents big or small, that we have something exciting to look forward to; that there are people who care to give us the gifts of their time, effort and money. Please give me the wisdom to guide them so … [Read more...]
Watercolor Art Materials Roundup, Cymplified!
So! You want to make watercolor art but haven't any clue what materials to use? Me too! I started with the Prang watercolor set I had in college. I also have watercolor pencils.

I had paintbrushes from my brother (who also owned the watercolor set, I just bought the refills), from my mom, and from workshops. I bought one bottle of Dr. Ph. Martin's radiant concentrated watercolor at an event. I have a big … [Read more...]
