Life Muses by Ro: You Are Noticed |
Michael Reagan’s voice filled my car as I rounded the corner of the Point of the Mountain. The peaks of the Wasatch Mountains towered over the east side of the basin. In the distance, I could see the Ochre Mountains outlining the bowl of the Salt Lake Valley. Just twenty more minutes and I would pull into my driveway.
Suddenly, I felt overwhelmed by the realization that I was simply a small speck of dust, rolling upwards and, as it did, I visualized my car getting smaller and smaller until it was so tiny that it was not visible.
Then my mind looked over the world and saw all of the people that filled the planet. “There are so many of them,” I gasped. “I know they are my brothers and sisters. I know that I’m a child of God. But how can He keep track of so many of us?”
The question asked, my mind reeled backwards throughout the ages and I saw generations upon generations of souls coming to the earth, each bearing children, teaching them, and then moving on when their turn was over. Each generation rolled in and out in waves, growing, changing, opinions wavering, arguing about what is politically correct or not correct, what is popular, and what should be done. I saw civilizations rise and fall even though they believed that they were unconquerable, but in the end, the cause of their destruction came from within.
I was breathless as it passed through my mind so quickly. I prayed, “How is it, under the circumstances, that you take any notice of me? I’m nothing special at all. I’d really like to know the answer to this question, please. How is it that you notice me?”
The answer came in a whisper, “Because I have the ability to number and love all of my children. And you, dear one, are my child, too. I notice you because I love you.”
It was such a simple answer, but it was exactly what I needed to hear. I know it is true. You see, if my earthly parents are able to love me and never able to forget me, despite their imperfect human state, then how much more perfectly can my Heavenly Father love and remember me?
Would it ever be possible for me to forget one of my children no matter what choices they may make upon this earth, even if I completely disagree with them? No, I could never forget my children. I love them. They are mine. And even if they choose to walk a path I would not choose, my love for each one will not be stilled.
I know them. They are part of me. They are my children. I cannot forget them no matter what may come or what has passed.
It has been many years since I drove over the Point of the Mountain that day and received, in a flash of my mind, an overview of the history of mankind. But, occasionally, when I feel somewhat unsure that I am able to cope with being one tiny voice on such a big planet full of people, the memory returns and I think to myself, “I have nothing to fear because I am His child. He is aware of me, helping me, and that is enough. That is more than enough.”
I feel to say to each of you that you are not alone, either. Even if you don’t realize it, you are being watched and loved. Even though your life sometimes feels hard – incredibly difficult – you are still watched over, cared for and yes, loved... loved with a love so great that is creates an impossibility of forgetting.

Digital Scrapbook Tutorial: Creating an Art Supply Caddy With a Recycled Carton |
Note: Tutorial created using Adobe Photoshop CS3 with Windows XP.
Here’s an easy way to provide your kids with a fun craft, teach them the value of recycling, and make something useful - all at the same time. It’s perfect for a summertime or rainy day activity and your kids will be really proud of the end result.
Start by taking an empty six-pack carton. This is what mine looked like, but anything with separate sections and a handle would work.
Using sticker paper, print out at least four sheets of 8.5x11 paper. Since I wanted to reinforce the concept of recycling with my kids, I chose some bright papers and embellishments from the Planet Earth Collection and a fun alpha from the Rock and Roll Collection, but you could use absolutely any digital scrapbooking collection.
Print out any embellishments that you may want to use to decorate your caddy with once it’s finished. You can print out the sheets of embellishments that are included with the digital scrapbooking collection or you can create your own custom sets of embellishments by dragging the ones you want to use onto a new 8.5x11 document and then printing it. We’re teaching the concept of recycling here, so try not to waste paper!
Because you’ll be using this caddy to hold art supplies, reinforce the bottom by gluing a piece of cardboard to it like this.
Next, cut your papers to approximately the size of the size you want to cover and glue them on. Don’t worry if your edges are hanging off, we’re going to trim them in the next step.
Turn the carton so that the side you’re working with is face down. Now, you can see exactly where you need to trim. Using a craft knife, carefully trim around the edges. Be sure to leave enough paper to turn down over the edge when you’re finished. (I actually trimmed these a little too close!)
Do this for all sides, plus the handle. When I was finished covering the four sides of our caddy, I had enough paper left over to cover some of the inside walls of the carton, too. It’s certainly not necessary, but it gives the caddy a finished look. Before you know it, your carton will be ready for decorating.
As you can see in the photo above, I also decided to add some ribbon to the edges of our carton just to add some strength to the box as well as a little more color. Cut out the printed embellishments and let your kids have fun decorating their new art supply caddy!

Learn advanced tricks for using tools that you already know and love. Watch me make some beautiful papers and get a chance to peek inside of my layers. (Oh dear... That is the last frontier and I might be out of my mind to let you do it... NOBODY likes people to see inside of their layers. It is like having visitors peek inside of your dresser drawers. Very private stuff.) See a new way for coloring doodles. (I'm betting that it will surprise you what tool I've used to do that with, too...) Get “IN&qrduo; on creating your own brush sets.

Ro personally uses Carbonite to back up her computer. While it won't backup external hard-drives, it is a fabulous solution for keeping all of your important documents on your C:/ drive safe and your backups completely up-to-date at all times. Using it has made her stop worrying about losing important business and financial files, because the backup happens without Ro having to do a single thing.

Buy True Image 11.0 from Acronis Today!
Hard drives do fail. Don't think they won't and that you will escape from it happening to you forever. Just get a plan for managing what will happen someday and save yourself a lot of pain, sweat, agony and tears.
You need several methods of backing up in case one of them fail. Acronis True Image 11.0 is Ro's personal choice for creating a complete back up (software, operating system, settings... you name it) of her hard drives. It is easy to use (no excess geek speak) which is why she is recommending it to you.
