This Doctor Made My Day

Uncategorized

Seems like there’s a doctor for everything these days. Besides medical doctors, there are phone doctors, plumbing doctors, computer doctors and yesterday I met The Blind Doctor, Marvin. I know you must be thinking he must have a visual impairment, but not so. This sweet 80 something year old man is “The Blind Doctor” who…

Starting the Day on the Right Track

Uncategorized

“Think and Grow Rich” was one my husband’s favorites. Actually, my husband was an unrelenting reader and proponent of motivational and inspiring books, sources and individuals. We raised our kids on the likes of this book, as well as Zig Ziglar’s books, the Bible and many other noteworthy sources of positivity. I’m quite sure that,…

I Knew Back-to-School Drama

Uncategorized

#TBT I Knew Back-to-School Drama! It’s that time of year when kids are getting back to school or going to school for the first time. This photo inspiration from 42 years ago was my two kids’ first day of school — Staci in first grade and Ryan in 3rd. Sweet memories, and, oh my, how…

What Punctuation Mark Defines You?

Uncategorized

What Punctuation Mark Defines You? I always want to be growing and learning. When we “cease and desist” our desires for living a full, active life and hungering and thirsting for knowledge and creativity, we will become stagnant.

I didn’t think of myself as being a controller until the example was…

Kintsukuroi — To Repair With Gold

Uncategorized

Kintsukuroi (keen-tsoo-koo-ray) was introduced to me by a friend a few weeks ago. I was so inspired by this Japanese art form of restoring broken pottery and ceramic objects with special lacquer fused with gold, silver or platinum. So, technically, Kintsukuroi is the art of embracing broken and flawed things. Where Kintsukuroi came from? Old…

Stealth Super Powers

Uncategorized

I’m sure you’ve heard about the petite woman who was able to lift the car off of a child who was pinned under it. The people who have done that accomplished an almost unthinkable feat of strength. I read this in Pscyhology Today: The human body can unleash some amazing RESERVES that deadens “temporary” pain.…

Inner Beauty AND Being a Masterpiece

Uncategorized

Yesterday, in my post, I talked about divine set-ups. I like to think that God is always setting us up for divine appointments. Knowing that, we should be keeping our eyes, ears and hearts open to the possibility of those times. He sure has a way of surprising me in the middle of a routine…
