  • WHO AM I?


         I had a bit of a rough Mother's Day.  At Mass our priest did a special blessing for the mother's, stepmother's and grandmother's.  He forgot to mention Godmother's.  SO, being that I was an emotional wreck as it was, I was teary after the blessing because I was feeling so left out.  After mass I told the priest that he forgot to mention Godmother's and then Sue said, "Will you give this Godmother a blessing?"  So he did.  And I broke down.


    SO, that brings me back to the subject of the title of this entry, "WHO AM I"?  Well, I am not a mother.  I've been pondering the reason why I was never blessed with children.  I do not know why, at the age of 47 that I have been thinking about that, but I have. 


    I am an aunt and Godmother and I take that job very seriously.  I LOVE children (as some of you might have noticed).  SO, I have decided to change my Xanga name to what Taylor calls me:


    T I A _ M A D R I N A


    Some of you may not know that Tia_Madrina is spanish for Aunt_Godmother. 


    THAT is who I am.    Loseryesyouare is no longer in existence.  I hated that name anyway!!


    I hope you all have a great weekend, be sure to hug your families and remember to keep our friend Jill in your thoughts and prayers.

  • Well Tia Madrina it is then. I would say you are probably THE BEST GODMOTHER  on th face of the earth.  Those kids are blessed by you for sure!!!

    I love you Janice and I think you are awesome!

  • I was wondering who this new xanga subscription was... 

    Sorry about the Mother's Day thing.  A Godmother is a very special role and I'm sure you are very devoted. 

  • God knew that you would be the best Aunt & Godmother to his little ones. You have so much love to share with ALL of them. YOU are a wonderful person and loved!

  • A much better name!

  • I always hated that name too. This one is much more "YOU". Good for the blessing. You are such a blessing to your family that you deserve all the blessings you can get.

    I'm looking forward to hearing from you more often now that you have this wonderful name!

  • So sorry Mother's Day was rough for you.  Hugs!  You are a wonderful Aunt and God Mother and you can be very proud of that.  I love your new name!  It fits you so well.  I still want to change mine really bad.  Now, can you help me come up with something that doesn't make people think I'm 100 instead of 44?

  • I love the name "Tia Madrina"- that is beautiful! A beautiful name for a beautiful person. Have a good week end. Big hugs, Teresa

  • I LOVE IT!!! I knew right away who it was!!! Now, you need to change the banner at the top of your site.
    Una nombre bonita para una mujer muy hermosa!!!

    BIG (((HUGS!!!)))

  • Well that is a way better name I always thought, why the heck does she have that other name anyway!
    Love ya
    Marlene

  • Oh Janice, I love the new name. LOVE it.

    As I was reading over your post, I thought to myself...had you been blessed with children, these children (your godchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins, neighbors, etc.) would not be as blessed to have you in their life. You would be concentrating on your own children and not have as much time for the others. God put you in the lives of all of these special children for a reason - and whether you can see it now or not, the impact you have on them will be great...and go on for generations to come.

    So hold your head high, Tia Madrina...the job you have been chosen to do (and do fantastically) is a great one.

    Love ya, girl! I hope you have a great weekend!

  • What a beautiful name.  I'm so glad that you changed it and...it is much more fitting of who you really ARE.

    Anyone who has you in their life is so blessed!  You are amazing and have a beautiful family.

    I couldn't figure out how some strange name got on my protected list.

    Have a wonderful Sunday and....I really like the name!

  • I'm absent from Xanga for a week or two, I come back and have all of these unknown user names in my sub list. lol

    I have always felt it to be unfair to people like you and me who have no kids. We don't get a "single person with no kids" day. Not fair! I think we should come up with a holiday all of our own!

  • Welcome  Tia Madrina.  I like the name too.  You have a special gift with the children.  God know they need you .  Make it a good week.  I pray for Jill and for you too.  God mothers are very special people . 

  • I love your new page! Those pictures are so precious, just as you are!

  • Love the new name, the new look.  A much better fit for you!  LOVE IT!!!
