Engaged in 2023
I love seeing engagement posts that describe the “ask” and the acceptance of a couple who will soon get married. But engagement in my blog today is about being fully engaged aka less distracted and more on-purpose in giving our undivided attention (fixed eyes) to those we encounter. Take for example my first day back…
I Want to be God’s Promotional Display
Ever notice how strategically retailers display items in their store to draw us in? It’s all about them using psychology to grab us and encourage us to spend more on items we didn’t even realize we wanted. Even the height of items matters. Lower items for the kiddos to see and beg for that “must…
What Passion Drives You?
What gets you out of bed every morning? The alarm clock? The baby crying? The dog nuzzling you? The “John”? When motivational speakers and vocational counselors ask this question, they’re not looking for those kinds of answers. They want to help us identify our PASSION — something we love to be doing with our life,…
The Invitation Read — Bring Spouses
Sunday was the celebration of Epiphany – the arrival of the Three Kings’ visit to the Holy Family. The manifestation of the Lord. So why should I have received little knots in my tummy on Friday when I received this invitation? “It’s that time of the year for our annual Epiphany get together with spouses!…
Is Your Glass Half Full or Half Empty?
I raised a couple of teenagers and have helped take care of those grown-up teenagers’ teenagers. I know well that they go through all facets of emotions at any given time. One day they’re optimistic and in a good mood. The next day they can have ‘tudes that put a damper on their day and…

Epiphany Sunday and I had an Epiphany
Today is Epiphany Sunday. I love those words: “Wise men (and women) still seek Him.” It is an EPIPHANY when one soul seeks Him and finds Him. And when we find Him, we find more than we ever imagined. For in Jesus Christ, we find forgiveness, inward peace and joy, today, and the promises of…
Created to Create
A “must-do” when we’re in Cabo is to attend the Art Walk in San Jose del Cabo. Every Thursday night, artists, artisans, and other creators show their talents and sell their artwork. There are paintings, wire-work, sculptures. You name it. It is there. Oh how I admire those who use their hands, minds, and hearts…

Sign me up! God designed us for success. He made us to be winners. And it is true for every person, no matter our past. God never destined us for mediocrity. So, He gave us a set of principles aka commandments to live by. We do our part in adhering to them then we’ll be…
Till There Was You
Driving my grandson to school, he asked me for my favorite song. Without much thought, I said, “‘Till There Was You”. I proceeded to explain that song was Papa’s and my wedding song. He had his phone connected by Bluetooth and searched for it. Up came the Beatle’s rendition. We listened to the whole song…
