Elizabeth Speaks From The Heart

Writing on this blog has let me express things that are sometimes left unsaid.  It is a way to reach a large audience about things I am passionate about in my own life.  I had a great teacher in high school that taught me about the passion of giving to others and leadership.  She was my Spanish teacher and adviser of my school's National Honor Society, which I was honored to be a member of.  She always encouraged me to follow my heart, and she told me my passion in life would lead me to happiness.  I took her advice and over the years I have involved myself in community service.  It was a great lesson of giving for me and my own children.  I am very proud of my children  for their acts of kindness and unselfishness in giving back to society.  They have grown into wonderful adults.

I have lost track of my Spanish teacher, but I would like to say thank you to her for all of her encouragement which has stayed with me over the years.  The encouragement has led me to my passion which is writing on this blog.  I thank god everyday for bringing Laney into my life.  She was the reason for the blog.  I also thank my loving husband who lets me talk about him on the blog, my children who admire me, and everyone else who has been a part of my life.  You give me a purpose to write.  God bless you!!

Out of all the blog postings I have done over the past two years, the most viewed was A Bow Wow Thank You From Laney on May 16th, 2011.  It was a passionate thank you to MD Anderson Cancer Center for taking care of my husband.  I am hoping today that as Laney speaks this posting will bring more views than the Bow Wow posting brought.  So, I give the floor to Laney.

Hey, it's me again, you know Laney.  I am the spoiled dog that lives with the two people who are gullible enough to carry me home, when they wear me out walking.  They are always walking for a purpose.  They call it cancer research.  They have been walking for many years.  They hold hands when they walk and talk about silly things.  When they are at home they sit on the couch together and hold hands.  They sometimes put their lips together.  I don't know what that is all about.  I do know that I am the center of attention, so I jump up on the couch and get between them.  They pat my head and sometimes put their lips on my head. YUCK !   I know if I want attention they will give it to me.  They give me treats for being so darn cute.  So, please can you donate to cancer research or at least tell your friends about this blog, because I'll get more treats.  I love being spoiled.  Life is beautiful !!
