Putting Pen To Paper

Before anyone gets confused, yes this is the same Amy from Will Run For Ice Cream.


I've had two blogs for quite some time now. I tried to combine the two, but I had a hard time because one is more fitness related (Will Run For Ice Cream) and this blog Today's Words of Glass is often considered a 'mommy' blog... although I feel that it's more diverse and in the future plan to try to branch out even more from 'mommy blog' status.

At some point, the two blogs may intertwine into one, but for now I'm keeping them separate. I know that a lot of you don't care to read about fitness/running and so forth. Just like some people that enjoy the fitness side of what I have to say might not necessarily care to read what happens on this blog.

Sooooooooo after that long drawn out explanation, yes I'm the same person that you will see at both blogs. And if you follow me on one, you might enjoy following me on the other as they are different. (Sign up via email)

But I've been thinking a lot lately about goals and well my dreams (The Woman I Know I Can Be), and I know that if I ever want to see where those dreams can take me, that I need to put some action behind them.

So today, as I sat on my deck (mocha latte in hand) I started writing out some ideas, thoughts and goals. I'm not sure where those ideas will take me, but I do know for sure that if I don't try they will take me to the land of nowhere. And I know that I personally want to try.

I often get discouraged because it feels that no one else shares my goals. Well duh, I don't need anyone else to share my goals. They aren't their goals, they are MY goals. So here I go... succeed or fail... I'm going to try.....

Adfilic Bluetooth Stereo Portable Wireless Speaker Review and Giveaway

I love music and streaming music through various apps on my iPhone. But with the case that I have on my phone, it sort of blocks the speakers a little. I can hear, but it can be a little muffled. So when I heard about the  Adfilic Bluetooth Stereo Portable Wireless Speaker  I jumped at the chance to try it. I was a little nervous since there really wasn't a lot of instructions on setup. I mean it had the usual pictures of this button does this etc, but there really wasn't a lot of documentation with it. So I was a little apprehensive at first.  But it didn't take me too long to realize that I didn't need a lot of instruction. It was pretty much straight forward. Charge it. After it was charged, turn it on. I went into my connections on my iPhone. It immediately found it, paired, and I was good to go.  I did get a little confused on which button was volume up (and down). But after a little trial and error with that, I've had absolutely zero iss

What Summer Taught Me

This Summer has been a big learning experience - for both Lil Man and myself. Who knew that an amusement park could be such a learning experience for both of us. I watched as my little boy, all on his own, climbed stairs among strangers, learned how to wait his turn, slide down a water slide, and do it over and over again. I watched as other kids shoved him out of their way, cut in front of him as he stood patiently 'waiting for his turn'. Groves of bigger kids kept cutting in front of him, and I held back and gave him time to respond. This for me was a learning experience. See, people have to have room or space to grow. So I learned how to let go, let out the leash a little, and give Lil Man some space. The first time the kids pushed him aside, he really didn't know what to do. After a few minutes of this, I did intervene. I told him to get in line. Take his turn, and when it was his turn he was to go. And the next time as other kids pushed past him, it only took a few

Rejection

You'd think as many times as I've been rejected in my life that rejection wouldn't hurt anymore. Really, I can't count the number of times that I've been rejected, or slighted, or been on the receiving end of cruel words. I'm almost 40 for pete's sake. Rejection shouldn't bring tears anymore, but it still does. It just seems like I've been faced with it a lot lately. It started with the Running and has seemed to carry over into other parts of my life. I have spent most of my life on the sidelines watching other people. That's what happened with the marathon.   Once again, I'm on the side as others do things that I want to do. I trained. I had to have an unexpected surgery. I got injured. I couldn't run. It happens. It isn't the end of  the world. But what many don't realize is that there are numerous times in my life that I am on the sidelines, watching, wishing I was the one 'out there' - not the one watching. . But
