It is really hard knowing that in 10 weeks it will be officially 10 years since Janessa died. Something about that number is hard to fathom. How could I have survived 10 years without her??? It has not been an easy 10 years, grief has definitely taken a toll on me and on my family. I'm trying to figure out how to cope and how to get through her actually 10th angel day. I don't have it all figured out yet, but, 1 thing I did want to do is weekly challenges having to do with the number 10 for these 10 weeks leading up to her b-day. I invite anyone who wants to participate in these challenges to do so and if you feel like posting pictures or posting about what you did I would love to hear about it.
So here is the full schedule and then I will be posting a weekly reminder on each Monday.
December 30--Write down 10 good things that happened to you in 2019 or write 10 things you would like to do in 2020.
Jan 6th--Count to 10 this week and take a breath before you get upset at something or someone this week.
Jan 13th--Notice 10 acts of kindness around you or in the news and write them down.
Jan 20--Donate $10 to someone this week.
Jan 27--Take care of yourself this week. Write down 10 things you like about yourself and repeat 10 times this mantra to yourself this week: "I am a beloved Daughter/Son of Heavenly Parents with a divine nature and eternal destiny."
Feb 3--Write down 10 things you are grateful for this week.
Feb 10--Help 10 people smile this week. Ideas: smile, do acts of service, send a text-letter-card just to say hi and you are thinking of them to 10 people.
Feb 17--Take 10 photos of something meaningful to you this week--beauties of the earth (sunrise, sunset, flowers, animals, clouds), people--anything that inspires you.
Feb 24--Take 10 minutes each day for yourself--meditate, do yoga, read, practice a hobby, listen to music, anything that takes you away from all the normal stresses of life.
March 2--Remember Janessa for 10 minutes this week and let me know what you did. (Wear pink or something with a butterfly, put out a pinwheel, light a candle, creatively write her name.)
In Memory of my "Precious Angels" JANESSA, HOPE ABIGAIL, JASON NEPHI & RAE ANNE. A place where Angel Children are Loved, Missed, and Remembered. And a place where Mommies and Daddies of Angel Babies and Angel Children can feel safe and not so alone on this grief journey.

A Precious Gift--Never Forget Janessa & Hope Abigail
The mention of my daughter's name may bring tears to my eyes, but it never fails to bring music to my ears. If you really want to show me that you care, let me hear the beautiful music of her name. It soothes my broken heart and sings to my soul.
"If you know someone who has lost a child, and you're afraid to mention them because you think you might make them sad by reminding them that they died--you're not reminding them. They didn't forget they died.
What you're reminding them of is that you remembered that they lived, and that is a great gift."
-Elizabeth Edwards

Be Still and Know that I am God
Sometimes God
Calms the Storm . . .
Sometimes He let's the Storm rage
and Calms His Child.
Author Unknown
At times there appears to be no light at the tunnel's end-no dawn to break the night's darkness. . .We feel abandoned, heartbroken, alone. If you find yourself in such a situation, I plead with you to turn to our Heavenly Father in faith. He will lift you and guide you. He will not always take your afflictions from you, but He will comfort and lead you with love through whatever storm you face.
-President Thomas S. Monson
We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.
-Joseph Campbell
