Our Blind Spot
My husband is stoked about his new Subaru Outback for more reasons than one. His 2018 Chevrolet Impala was suffering a slow death. One thing after another needed repair and rather than taking it into the car “hospital”, he decided to sell it. AutoNation saw it and all the good things about it (it still…
Being Willing to Change
Daylight-Saving time! You’re welcome! I am reminding you to get that extra hour of glorious sleep tonight! So go ahead and set your clocks back an hour before retiring tonight. Tomorrow morning, Sunday, at 2 a.m. we FALL BACK an hour. This is my favorite time change. We adults can get this and adapt quite…
Changing Time….Literally
It’s time to SPRING FORWARD – setting our clocks FORWARD an hour! You’re welcome! And while we’re add it — let’s be okay with the change! Daylight Savings begins tomorrow morning at 2:00 a.m. Making changes and adapting to them is often easier said than done. This change is a no-whiner and no-brainer and pales…
Hello February! Hello Change!
I just took down January’s door decor and up goes February’s! I’m pulling my “female” card. Yes, I am a woman and I am subject to CHANGE daily. I can CHANGE my mind about this or that. I can CHANGE clothes – just because I want to. I can CHANGE occupations (and I did). I’m…
Spring Forward and Being Willing to Change
Time to set our clocks FORWARD an hour. You’re welcome! Daylight Savings begins tomorrow morning at 2:00 a.m. Making changes and adapting to them is often easier said than done. This change is a no-whiner and no-brainer and pales in comparison to the changes we have faced over the last two years. I sat with…
Being Subject to Change
I remember how much I wanted to gain weight when I was a teenager. I was so skinny they called me “beanpole”. I even took Raquel Welch’s recommendation and bought “Wate-On” tablets (for real) because I wanted to look like my peers who had already “filled out” quite nicely (at least in my eyes, they…
Making the Plunge to Swim with the Sharks
Okay – that title is misleading. I would never make that plunge, but I did make the plunge to get out of my comfort zone to mingle with others, talk to others and find great new friends. I know it’s hard to believe, but I was a shy, timid introvert as I grew up. I…
Disappointment Might be an Appointment
Daily I read what I wrote in my journal for this day last year. Since early January, I’ve read about the excitement of being on the leadership team for our upcoming ACTS Retreat that was to have been on the weekend of April 23rd. We were wonder-eyed and “on fire” with passion and great anticipation…
Leadership May Change But God Doesn’t
In my “memories” FB feed, I saw the congenial photo of the “smooth” transition of power from President Obama and First Lady Michelle to President Trump and First Lady Melania in 2016. It was too bad the circumstances of the current transition wasn’t as equally smooth and cordial. Things “changed” from the routine of previous…
What is YOUR Motivation for Change?
The Great Escape — so, I’ve been in Austin with my family since last week. Talk about change – from my quiet, non-eventful life, to nearly non-stop activity with this crew. My quiet peace zone at home has certainly been interrupted, which is fine with me. My second to the oldest grandson, Bear, asked for…
