Patience is a Virtue
Patience is a Virtue I saw this Instagram post and photo a few days ago and I was inspired — so much so that I’m posting about it here today. “It all started with one baby camel. Three years later, globe-trotting adventure photographer Allan Dixon continues to take selfies with wildlife, sometimes relaxing with them…
Faith Talk
Yesterday I posted “Keep your words soft and sweet….because tomorrow you might have to eat them”. That is so true, and to take it a step further…. keeping our words positive and encouraging is equally as important to us and to others. People often ask me “What’s the secret to all that energy and enthusiasm…
Keep Your Words Soft and Sweet
Last week I called an 800 number to get info on an online product. After a long wait in the queue, my conversation with the customer service rep was upbeat and informative, until I told the agent that I’d need to call back once I’ve made up my mind about ordering the product. That’s when…
GOD WITH US…..All the Time
God is always with us and we often take it for granted. The Creator of you and me, and everything that was and is and is to come — is with us. Have you had moments when you sensed Him so close? Maybe it was while you were praying or singing a song or holding…
Renewed: From the Inside Out
Renewed: From the Inside Out Okay….so I’m in that mature season where it seems I’m noticing a lot of those advertisements and labels that shout out “Renew your youth! Reduce those lines and wrinkles!

I realized how much time I was spending going through my emails each day. Valuable time being consumed by advertisements, alerts, and…
Who Has Your Heart?
What prompts a 15-year old to post this to his Instagram yesterday? If I was still focusing on finding photo inspirations for each day of the year, like I did last year, this one would have surely made today’s post. It made it anyway. This is my grandson, Payton Wallace. To say “I’m smiling and…
What Medicine Do You Take?
If you’re like me, your medicine cabinet has just about everything you need in it for the common cold, headache, cuts, scrapes, bug bites, sunburn, tummy ache, etc. I’ve got aspirins, ointments, sprays, oils, ice packs, heating pads to help conquer the ailments at any given time. Yesterday morning, while getting ready for my day,…
I’m Going to Adventureland!
Ever felt like that little bird that was done with that not-so-cozy nest and was ready to take wing and fly away? It may be called “restlessness”. My friend and I were visiting yesterday about willing to live out loud with no regrets — ready to take on some adventures. Quite frankly, I think I’ve…
