What's in a Name

I haven't had my 'last' name since 1979, I reclaimed it after this divorce. I'm me again! After my first divorce I kept his name for the kids sake with school and other factors. After this divorce I decided to return to 'who I really am'. 

It's taken a couple weeks to change everything over, a few things came with a charge, most were free. My notary license is in the process of changing so it's going to be a few more days before I'm official again. 

To learn more about the Hiebert name, visit the website ~ Hiebert Name Meaning, Family History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms

~My oldest daughter has been researching her family history from both sides of the family, so I gave her the family tree books for both my dad and mum. Should be interesting to see what she discovers.

As for me, I'm happy just being able to feel like I belong to myself. It's been a long time.

Live for Today

Save for the future, plan ahead, be prepared. 

We get so wrapped up in the future, we forget to appreciate today. 

Not everyone gets to have tomorrow. Things happen, things change. 

How much time do we spend on the future or the past, that we waste the time we have today. 

Depression takes so much away from us. Worry uses up so much time. 
Looking into the future takes away from the present. 

It's now, in this moment we are alive. We much learn to live it. Even Jesus tells us to 'let go' of tomorrows worry and focus on the now - today.

Don't put off til tomorrow what you can do today.

Enjoy the moments, make the memories. Learn to 'let go' and live. Worry isn't going to accomplish anything except take away from your time now. Give it to God and let it go.

 Enjoy the moment.
Live.
