Surprise! It Snowed Last Night!
I’m feelin’ the love. God’s love, that is, because yesterday morning, here in Tulsa, there was a “sprinkling” of snow everywhere. The morning welcomed me with such tenderness and peace. I just had to quickly grab a couple of photos. Though I find that peace here everytime I visit her, Mom still has her sweet…
Round’ and Round’ She Goes, Where She Stops, Nobody Knows
“Round’ and round’ she goes, and where she stops nobody knows!” I heard someone say that about me. These days many of my friends and family ask me “Where are you now, Donna?” Yesterday, I showed up in frigid cold Tulsa, but I sure got to hug a lot of “warm hearted friends” last night.…
Time to Register for Cross Training
On New Year’s Day, I heard this said:: “This is going to be your best year ever, but keep in mind, though you may be going in with a clean slate, you’re still taking some of the “old” in with you. You still take YOU!” That’s a wake-up call, isn’t it? It’s awe-inspiring to think…
Because He Lives, I Can Face Today AND Tomorrow
The hullabaloo about New Year’s Eve celebrations has ended for another year….well, except for many of us who are still sharing how we commemorated 2017’s debut. Unlike so many that entered into 2017 with a gnarly hangover, I heard about New Year’s Eve church services where those in attendance heard messages about the possibilities that…
Solid Rock Foundation
“And the wolf huffed and puffed and blew the house down.” That’s a line from “The 3 Little Pigs”, a children’s story where one little pig built his house with straw, another built his house with sticks and the third built his house with bricks. We all know the story — the first two pigs’…
My 2017 Nana Resolutions
Of all the joys in my life, my sweet six grandkids are right at the top! This season of my life is providing even more opportunities to bond and relish in the treasures that they are to me. Since my home sold in Tulsa last September, I’ve known God’s nudges for this new season of…
The Best Part of a New Year? A Clean Slate!
A happy and blessed 2017 is my prayer for all of my FB friends and family today! Being the body-guard for my two youngest grandsons was no less charged with anticipation and celebration than any other year for the last twelve years. We had lots of fun making videos (or should I say, Brennan made…
Thinking Back and Looking Forward
It’s the 365th day of 2016. I made it!!! 365 days of posting a positive word for my FB friends and family. After all, there’s enough negativity in social media with politics, the weat her, the economy, the disappointments many speak about or vent about in their relationships. Once upon a time, I didn’t want…
Wise Men Still Seek Him
Santa Claus came and went. The reindeer’s nose is no longer shining. The carolers have closed their Christmas song books. Chestnuts are no longer roasting on an open fire. My Canadian family are so happy we’re no longer singing “Let it snow. Let it snow.” and “I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas”, since they now…
Tough Times Don’t Last — But Tough People Do!
These photo inspirations are near and dear to my heart. This day, 15 years ago, my Sweetheart and I resaid our wedding vows during our 35th year of marriage. I’d like to say it was 35 years of wedded bliss — all sweet, lovey-dovey, and delightful times that prompted us to want to repeat our…
