'Fess Up Friday

Friday is here already!!  Does anyone else feel like this year is speeding by?  Yeah, me too!  Well, since I have already started, let's confess!  If you want to link up with Mamarazzi and join the party, head over to her website and check it out!  Never too late to join the party!

I confess that this perimenopause thing is for the birds!  The hot flashes, the tiredness, the irritability, the inability to sleep are all driving me crazy!

I confess that I got my knickers in a twist last week and I do not apologize for it but it did make for good reading.  If you didn't get to read that post, then check it out here.

I confess that I did my 1st review and give away and only 2 people have responded.  If you want to participate, check it out here.  I am excited to be a part of Social Spark.  Thanks for hooking me up, Mama!

I confess that I cried out loud at the movie October Baby.  I also wrote a review(unsolicited) for it.  If you would like to read it and see what this movie is all about, you can read it here.  I was glad that I was alone in the theater and that it was dark when I left.

I confess that my hubby got a 2nd part time job this week and I am happy about that!

I confess that having him gone so much is gonna be an adjustment!

I confess that I am sad for a friend of mine.  Her daughter fought a brain tumor and cancer.  She was on a trip with the Make a Wish Foundation when she(the daughter) suffered a stroke.  Please, pray for her, if you will!

I hope that everyone has a great weekend!  May God's rich blessings find you!

October Baby

Like millions of people, I went to see a very good movie this weekend.  The only difference was that I was alone in the theater.  I went to see the movie October Baby.  This movie was life changing!  I recommend that all of my readers go and see this movie.  It should get an Oscar nod but it won't.
October Baby is a movie about a young girl who finds out she is adopted.  Not only that but she was birthed due to a botched abortion.  Hannah, the main character, goes on a quest to find herself and to find out about her past.  This journey has all the makings of a good road trip, tears, laughter, fun, drama.  I am not gonna ruin it by telling all the details but suffice it to say that she also finds forgiveness and acceptance along the way.
As a post abortive mother, I thought that they told the story in a beautiful, non-condemning way.  I have already healed from my abortion(check out my story here. It is split into 3 stories.) but I did find healing in the telling of her story.  I am so glad that God doesn't stop working on me and He keeps refining and purifying me.
I encourage everyone to go and see this movie!  It is amazing!  You will enjoy it.  It is a Christian movie but it is well directed, acted, and produced.  No B movie here!
Check out Fandango for showtimes and locations!

Please show your love for this movie!  It will change your life but take some tissues!  I am going to see it again!

I just want to add that there were some weird coincidences in this movie.  These had me crying out loud in the theater.  Hannah's bday is October 7, 1991.  She had a twin who died named Jonathon.  I had my abortion in 1991.  I have a daughter now who has the bday of October 7.  My son in Heaven is name John.  Weird, huh?
