Had Any Knee Jerk Reactions Lately?

This weekend’s activities weren’t a knee-jerk reaction. It was well planned to go to Tulsa for my two 77-year old friends’ wedding. How could I miss a sweet love story celebration? I knew I just had to make the trip. I know it will be worth it. On Thursday, I helped a dear friend that’s…

Curb Appeal Matters

Uncategorized

In the community I live in, all of the yards are pristine — nicely edged, cut, bushes trimmed, no garage doors open. Every home has curb appeal. It’s a requirement here in this 55+ community. I’ve been a R/E Estate Broker for 18 years and I know curb appeal and first impressions matter. A run-down…

Connecting the Dots

Uncategorized

While we’re waiting for our food to arrive at the restaurant, my youngest grandson and I enjoy playing “Connect the dots”. I’m sure you’ve played it many times. Once upon a time, I let him win, but what in the world — now he skunks me! Remember when we connected the numbers on a page…

Mission IMPOSSIBLE or Mission POSSIBLE?

Uncategorized

As most know, I’m a Hallmark Movie kind-of-gal, but I still love an action thriller now and then. So, Sunday night I joined my family in their theater room to watch the last Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation movie. That prepped us to see the latest Mission Impossible – Fallout movie Monday night. Okay, I’m still…

Trucking for Jesus

Uncategorized

I met this beautiful couple at a Holy Spirit Retreat this weekend. Leon and Lorraine, who, by profession, are truck drivers. I learned about the benefits of being a truck driver – especially when you have your spouse with you and she’s a driver, too. Though the financial blessing is right at the top, for…

It Doesn’t Have to Be My Way

Uncategorized

Remember Frank Sinatra singing “I did it my way”? The song was about a man fondly looking back on a life lived on his own terms. But, is that the way WE want to live? I heard a talk where the speaker handed out empty toilet paper rolls to each of us to make her…

Trusty Steed — Trustworthy Men & Women of God

Uncategorized

While having my morning devotion yesterday, my eyes became fixed on the painting across my living area from me. I remember when my husband and I purchased that painting decades ago. We bought it because we saw King David (thus, the small bust of David that sits below the painting) and his muscle-bound, trusty steed…

I Will Not Just Survive….I Will Thrive in This Heat!

Uncategorized

I moved into my home a year ago in April, and I continue to be surprised by the plants around my home that the previous owners left me: the gardenia bushes, the redbud tree, and my canna lily plants. A wise-and-more-in-tune-with-gardening person would have spotted these lovely plants when they first walked onto the grounds…

Try a Little Kindness.

Uncategorized

I was having a bit of “writer’s block” yesterday as I was looking for a word or thought to inspire me for this day’s blog. I walked out onto my screened in patio and saw the wall hanging that the previous owners left behind. “Think deeply. Speak gently. Love much. Laugh a lot. Work hard.…

Commitment or Contribution?

Uncategorized

I’m back in Frisco from my Austin “green acres” experiences while my children were out of town. Did I mention my grandson has 32 animals, of which 16 are chickens: 2 roosters, 8 mother hens and 6 “teenage” chickens who will mature to the “hen” status in a few months. Scanning through my cell phone…
