God's comfort for me
Hey all. Just taking a few minutes from my math homework to share something that gave me great encouragement last night. Before going to sleep I picked up a small book I keep on my headboard called Bedside Blessings by Charles Swindoll. It has a small section to read each day of the year and while I frequently read from it, I had not for quite awhile until I did last night. The part for last night was this:
October 7: Has a friend betrayed you?...Has a disaster dropped on your life that's almost too great to bear? If so,don't fight back. Unjust suffering can be a dizzying experience. To keep your balance in those times when things are swirling around you, it's important to find a fixed reference point and focus on it. Return to the protection and guardianship of the Good Shepherd who endured the cross and laid down His life...for you.
I am the good shepherd;
the good shepherd lays down
His life for the sheep.
John 10:11
I thought maybe someone out there who sees this might need it. It brought me to tears and brought such a calm over my soul. After something I went through awhile ago and something my family is going through now and in the next few months, I had no doubt why God led me to picking up that book last night.
Well back to math and everyone have a GREAT day!! :)
Love and Hugs, Leanna

Diabetes at school and etc.
I got this really cute makeup case at Kmart. I love using makeup bags for my D supplies cause other cases are boring!
 |
| Might be small but holds alot! See the next pic... |
I'm a big purse kind of girl. So I usually have no trouble having room to carry all my stuff. But when it comes to going to school I don't want to carry a purse and a book bag. I found this cute little Rosetti purse on clearance at Kohl's and last semester used it ALOT. Its perfect for putting all my diabetic stuff and my wallet etc in and I can just toss it in my bookbag.
 |
| And yes, everything does fit in....... |
 |
| and yes the zipper does close!! |
 |
| Where theres a will, there's a way! :) |
Anyway thats just my ramblings about home to carry all my stuff. Hope you like it and maybe I'll give you an idea :)

Accepting changes
Hey to all my friends! Its been way to long since I had a post but I either haven't had the time, just haven't gotten to it or didn't wanna bore you if I did have anything much to say. Right now I'm fully loving my break from school over the summer and its going way to fast. I'm also excited about the Olympics that are about to start and have been following all the competitions that have been leading up to the them. I'm a big gymnastics fan and thats for the most part the only summer sport I follow.
Tonight's blog is focused on changes and how I believe it is important to accept them as they come. I'm thinking about this a lot because tomorrow is the beginning of a new chapter for me in a part of my lift that is very important to me. Recently things ended with my piano teacher of 4 years and while I'm not going to give any details I will say that things did not end the way I wish they would have and it has been rather hard on me due to the fact that she was not only the only teacher I'd ever had but was also a close friend. I will also need to be starting with a new doctor soon due to insurance issues and being a type 1 diabetic its a lot bigger of a deal to switch doctors then it is for many people. I plan to write a detailed blog on all that once everything is set in stone but tonight's post is focusing on the things that are changing right now and just accepting change in general.
I believe I am a person who adjusts to changes pretty easily and I am REALLY want to continue to be that way. I watch people who resist change and see all the pain and stress that puts them through and I don't want to do that to myself more then I have to. Also I know that the older one gets the harder it is to adapt to change so when is the best time to welcome change? When your young! My Grandma has always hated change and now as she is nearly 80 years old it has made things harder for her and those around her. She struggles to accept things ranging from my Grandfathers declining health and things like having small trees in their lawn cut down because they are dead. I believe that accepting small changes that happen regularly and just moving on by making the most of the situation will make it soooo much easier to accept bigger things ranging from ended relationships to moving from one season in your life to the next.
Another thing that I have learned from going though this experience is that going through something hard really helps you to notice who really cares about you and makes you love them even more (if possible). For me those people are my family. They have given my support and shown their love to me and it has meant more to me then I believe they will ever know.
Also while going through changes in my life I find it very helpful to use the "glass half full" strategy and to play the Glad Game. Even though it is really hard to see what good is going to come out of a situation when you are going though a painful time, and believe my I know it is, there is often some good to be found. One thing I have to be glad about it the fact that I instantly was able to find an excellent new teacher who I believe will really be able to help me musically. I will admit that I am still struggling to find a lot of good that is coming out of this situation but I am starting to feel that the change was a good thing and there are multiple ways in which I will benefit from it.
Also I need to strongly bring out the thing that probably plays the largest factor in my ability to accept change and that is the strength I have given to me by God alone. I am a firm believer that God will not give us anything that we cannot handle. We in our own strength are unable to happen things that come are way but it is in those times that God wants us to come to him and trust him with our troubles and trials. One of my favorite Bible verses is Isaiah 40:31 which says "But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint." Another on of my favorites is Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope."
So tomorrow as I begin my journey with my new teacher I will be trying to look for all the good that can come out of it rather that harping on what I lost. You can think of me as I move ahead tomorrow and in the following weeks :) And my friends, in closing I just want to say to make things easier on you and those around you, accept the changes that come your way. Hold tight to your family and your true friends and draw close to God though the good and bad times as He will NEVER leave you or forsake you.
Love and Hugs, Leanna

Life on break from school!
Happy 2012! Wait, did I really just say that?! How is it already 2012? As time passes I become more and more sure that the older you are and the busier you are, the faster time goes. I have no reason to wish time was going slower as a have a very blessed life but it feels weird to be getting this old and its totally scary how fast the kids in my life are growing up.
I'm totally loving my time off school! The fall semester was over on Dec. 19th and the spring semester starts Jan. 17th. That date is coming up WAY to fast but I'm just loving the time I have off! I plan to have lunch with a few friends over the next week and a half and maybe do a little shopping ;) I went on a trip to Wisconsin to see my Grandparents. My family left home the day after Christmas and came home on Tuesday. I was able to have a great time with my cousins and just had time to chill and shop (did I say shop again?!). Even though I had fun I was ready to come home and enjoy finishing my break at home. Probably the thing I am doing the most since I'm home is reading. I love good fiction romance books with one of my favorite writers being Karen Kingsbury. Karen is a very inspiring writer. Currently one the the sets I'm reading is the Bailey Flanigan series and I am LOVING them! I finished the 3rd one now I have to wait till the end of march to get the last one!
Enough of the rambling about my break. As far as going back to school next week, I honestly have mixed feelings. If it wasn't that I struggle with math I would really enjoy it. I like the feeling of working hard and having it pay off. I will be doing two online classes as well as math in class which has me in class twice a week. On top of that I work two part time jobs, am a piano student and have type 1 diabetes as a constant companion.
On the topic of diabetes, I could be doing much better then I am recently. I had been doing well then on the holidays and with a road trip/visit to my grandparents my blood sugars got rather nasty. I had the think of that in tonights dsma session when one of the questions was do you have worse eating habits in the winter time? My answer? The worst time is over the holidays but my eating habits arent as good most of the time as they should be. They have been better since I'm home but still not where I want them or where they need to be. I am trying hard to get back into the groove of working out and hoping that that will help. I think part of it might be that now I'm fighting a cold which is making my numbers even more stubborn. All that I have been doing for my cold is trying to take vitamins (which I'm not doing as much as I should) and decided instead of taking cold meds to give Simply Saline a try. So far I am very impressed! I was hoping it would be worth it as it is nearly 8 bucks a bottle and it seems to be. I wont lie and tell you that its fun to use cause it really isn't! It give you a temporary feeling that your drowning but it really does help with the congestion in the end. Anyone else struggling with sickness that is affecting your diabetes? I know compared to many of you out there I am pretty new to diabetes which is why I love getting to interact with you guys. Also I don't have any fellow Type 1 friends except for online so it really does mean alot to me to call you guys my friends.
When it comes to working out my biggest problem is motivation! I am extremely lucky that my brother, who is my neighbor, has a small gym set up in his basement which I am welcome to use anytime. I am in the proccess of getting back into working out and its not very easy! If anyone has a tips I am more then open to them!
Since it seems I'm covering most areas that are a big part of my life I'll bring in piano too. Piano is very special to me. Sitting to the piano and practicing for awhile is a great way for me to relax and unwind. Sometimes its hard for me to believe that in march it will only be 4 years since I started! It feels like it has been a part of my life much longer then that and then again sometimes it seems like my first lesson was just yesterday! I am lucky to still be with the same teacher I started with and feel like we work together well. She is understanding and not demanding when it comes to sometimes not getting as much practice as I should because of school and there are many times when I get frustrated with myself for not making more progress or struggling with something certain that she'll be encouraging. I am currently working as a student teacher at her music studio and teaching the kids I teach is very rewarding to me :) Any frustration I might feel at times seemed very distant when earlier after a 5 year old I teach had her lesson she came and hugged me and said "I love you" :) It nearly brought tears to my eyes and helped me resolve one thing. Being a teacher really is worth it.
So now I want to ask how you all are doing? All of my online friends mean ALOT to me and I love hearing from you! Please tweet me, comment and email me!
As we go on in this new year lets all try to make it the best year we've ever had! I feel so very blessed and don't want to make the mistake of taking it forgranted. I want to draw closer to God personally so I can truely shine for him to all the people I interact with. Also I want to take the time to appreicaite my family and their support.
Well I hope you enjoyed my update and I wasnt too boring! Love and Hugs, Leanna

Semester is DONE!
Well let me start by saying I'm sorry its been soo long! School and work has kept me VERY busy so the only contact I'm had time for is Twitter which also brings me to saying THANK YOU for all your support! I am absolutly loving getting to meet you all and getting to know you!
As of today the fall semester is OVER! This marks the end of my first semester of college. It has been good overall. I was able to finish Communications with a high A and General Psychology with a high B. The only thing I'm still waiting on is what I struggle with. Math. I had my final this morning. It is a pass or fail class so rather then just getting a worse average you have to finish with an 80% or its a fail. I went into my final which is worth 120 points needing 71.5 points to make it to the requirement and right now its an understandment to say I'm nervous. I feel like I did good on a bunch of stuff but also know I didnt on some so now I'm just very afraid I didnt get enough. I'll know no later then thursday or it could still be tonight.
On a lighter note last night was the music school were I teach and am taught's recital. It was very nice and I am pleased with how I did.
After my test today I went and finished my Christmas shopping! The stores and roads resembled a zoo! I guess thats what I get for waiting but I didn't have too much choice. I think I'm all done now unless I still pick something up in town. Anyone a fan of Bath & Body Works? I don't go alot but could really get into it. I went today and picked up a few candles. One for my mom and one for my piano teacher/friend. My mom absolutely loves their candles (better then Yankee) and their nice sized 3 wick ones are on sale for 2 for $20. I dont think you can beat that too many places.
My family and I will be taking a trip to wisconsin just after Christmas and coming back just after new year. I have cousins and and aunt, uncle and grandparents out there. It's usually a nice trip but in the winter I'm NOT a fan of going because its SOOO cold! My Grandma said on the phone the other day that soon we'll be there to help them enjoy the cold weather but thats not really how I feel about it!
Well I dont really want to ramble and bore you all but just wanted to update. Tommorrow morning I can sleep in! No more homework and no work tommorrow. I hope to clean up my room, clean my car and other stuff like that but am thrilled to have a day there is nothing I have to do and can relax.
Well I'll sign off now. Goodnight to all!

So much to be Thankful for!!
Hello again! I will be away for the day tommorrow so wanted to have a post for Thanksgiving a day early. Personally I think its sad how our society rushes over Thanksgiving and just gets ready for Christmas. Don't get me wrong I love Christmas. It is actually my favorite holiday and there is much to celebrate about Christmas but in the rush and excitment of getting ready for it many people do not fully enjoy Thanksgiving. With all the things we have been blessed with what better then to have a holiday that is set aside only to think about all our blessings? In the words of my sister "We need to stop rushing over the holiday that is based on when our country began." Also Thanksgiving is becoming more about Black Friday then Thanksgiving itself.
So I want to start celebrating Thanksgiving by listing many of the things I am thankful for. I don't plan to post them all because quite frankly I have too many!
1.) God. We have a great and loving God to serve!
2.) Family. I have an amazing family. I have fours sisters and one brother who are the best siblings anyone would ask for. I also have a sister in law who is like a fifth sister and two brother in laws. My parents are also very special and I couldn't be more thankful for having been raised in a loving home. In addition to them I have one 11 month old niece and two nephews ages 4 and 7. They are some of the best kids in the world!!
3.) Friends. I have some pretty awesome friends! Also I count those of you in which I am getting to know on here as my friends and am very thankful for you.
4.) Music. I think life without music would be very dull. I love listening to music and playing it. I am thankful that I have the ability to play.
5.) Health and Medical accessories. We have sooo many things avalible to us that give us the chance to live a healthy life and that make it much easier to do so then the people with health problems not that long ago.
6.) Work. I am thankful that I have the ability to work and that I have work.
7.) A working brain! At times I don't feel that thankful for school when it gets overwhelming but I am thankful that I am able to do school.
8.) My students. The kids I teach piano are very special to me. The time I spend teaching them is the highlight of my week and I am very thankful for them.
9.) My home. I am very thankful to not only have family but a warm home. This is something we many times take for granted but the holidays always make me think about it more how many people do not have this comfort.
10.) The Internet! I believe many people with diabetes and other conditions are more thankful for the ability to connect online then other people are. I consider myself one of these people as my only diabetic friends are pretty much the only diabetic friends I have.
Well I'm gonna stop at 10! I feel like I could go on and on! Please note that some of the things are not in order I just wrote them as I thought of them :)
So I'm gonna end this post with asking what are you all thankful for this Thanksgiving? I'd love to hear! Happy Thanksgiving and eat lots of yummy food! And to all you fellow diabetics good luck controlling your blood sugar!!!

Monday Madness!
Hello to all!! First of all I want to say thanks to all those who have welcomed me to blogging and expressed interest in reading my posts. Special thanks to Kerri of Six Until Me for helping put my name out there. I am a big fan of Kerri's blog so I am thrilled! Thanks Kerri!!
My monday has been very busy! It started at 7:00am with breakfast before going out to walk some dogs I was boarding (a side thing I do due to living on a farm). After that I got ready for math class which I leave home for around 9:35. This morning I allowed more time then usual between doing my stuff at home and going to class because its not unusual if I have a low bg after walking and this morning in class I had a math test so I needed to be able to test awhile after my walk but before going to class. I have enough trouble with math that a low during an important test is the last thing I need!!
I made to to class in plenty of time and I think my test went good :) After class I went to the school library to study awhile before going to get some lunch and heading to the music school to teach one of my piano students. Luckily all my college and the music school are very close together in town and both are 10-15 mins from my house. Unforunetly there had be a missunderstanding between the students mother and I and they never came. She thought she had told me they would be away while I thought she was going to have called me if they could for sure not make it. O well I guess it comes with the job ;)
So then I got home around 1:45 and took my friends dog that I have right now for a walk before going to the shed to take the other to I was boarding out. While I had them out their owner came to get them. Then I went to town again to meet the lady my sister babysits for to pick up her check. My sister is recovering from shoulder surgery so she can't drive. A quick stop at the store and I got to come home for the rest of the day!
Now I'm working at my Psychology. That homework and piano practice should keep me busy for the rest of the evening :) Piano is a big part of my life. I love both playing and teaching it. Please check out my youtube and let me know what you think! I haven't updated it for awhile but will be soon. I want to get a few more posted one of which is Canon in D, which I will be playing for several upcoming preformances that the music school will be doing. Here is the link to my youtube http://www.youtube.com/user/pianogirl416?feature=mhee

My monday has been very busy! It started at 7:00am with breakfast before going out to walk some dogs I was boarding (a side thing I do due to living on a farm). After that I got ready for math class which I leave home for around 9:35. This morning I allowed more time then usual between doing my stuff at home and going to class because its not unusual if I have a low bg after walking and this morning in class I had a math test so I needed to be able to test awhile after my walk but before going to class. I have enough trouble with math that a low during an important test is the last thing I need!!
I made to to class in plenty of time and I think my test went good :) After class I went to the school library to study awhile before going to get some lunch and heading to the music school to teach one of my piano students.
