Confession- I'm a Tween

I had an interesting weekend.... Seriously. I haven't had one quite like it! I spent the weekend with KayCee and her cousin (a new friend!) Mallory. We decided to all head over to the Salt Lake County Fair to play that evening. We only went on one ride because Mallory isn't a huge fan of rides and KayCee wasn't a fan of the Scrambler. After, we headed to have some fine fair food (sweet corn, baked potatoes, funnel cake...Yum)! We'd heard about a show the fair was putting on with a hypnotist so we headed that way. Mallory and I were lucky contestants. KayCee was kind enough to take pictures and film our stupid scenes while we look like fools. It was the most interesting experience I've had in a long time. Towards the end of the show, the hypnotist made some interesting points. In addition to the fun, crazy hypnotism, he also teaches hypnotherapy - something I'm so fascinated in. Now, I'm not saying the ridiculous hypnotism stuff works, but I do believe in the power of the mind. I believe people can control their own feelings, thoughts, etc. It's a state of mind. Well, he had us think of something we REALLY wanted and to picture it. I did. Boy did it open a can of worms!!



I spent the rest of the weekend re-evaluating my life and what I feel and what I can do to make myself happy and succeed. I'm still going through a rough patch, and without too many details, it seems like my heart keeps crushing further and further each day. I asked my dad for a father's blessing and he said some powerful things that have enlightened me. I thought I'd been uplifted as much as I could this weekend.



Well. Then it occured. I heard a song at work and I'm ashamed to admit it because I am Not a fan of her, but it has become my theme song...

The Climb - Miley Cyrus

I can almost see it
That dream I am dreaming
But there's a voice inside my head saying"You'll never reach it"
Every step I'm taking
Every move I make feelsLost with no direction
My faith is shaking
But I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down
But no, I'm not breakingI may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep going
And I, I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on'
Cause there's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah!
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Somebody's gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah!

Keep on moving, keep climbing
Keep the faith, baby
It's all about, it's all about the climb
Keep the faith, keep your faith

There you go, laugh and make fun of me all you want.

Sounds like you had a fun weekend. I tried to be hypnotized once, but I went too deep into it. For what it's worth, I like "The Climb" and we watch "Hannah Montana" on Disney channel from time to time. (Don't tell Dave I told you so.)
