ENOUGH Already!
Ever said these words? “I’ve had it!” “Enough is enough!” “I can’t take it anymore!” “I’ve had ENOUGH!” “ENOUGH already!” ENOUGH (in the context of “had enough”): outraged, tired, sick, weary, disappointed, fed up, up to here, teed off We’ve all been there – to the crushing point of exhaustion. We’ve long stood for an…
Shakey World But Unshakeable Faith
After catching the headlines about the leak of the Supreme Court’s Roe vs Wade draft, I realize, more than ever, that we live in a mighty crazy, shaky world. If we only lived through the eyes of the news, you’d think the world is going to hell in a handbasket. Even in our own little…
Too Good to be True?
Have you ever been trying on clothes at a store and that outfit looked great in those amazing, magical store mirrors? You even might have thought “You’re looking 10 pounds thinner”! But at home and trying that outfit on, it was like “What was I thinking? What was I seeing?” And, what about those mirrors…
Need Peace? Forgive.
Mother’s Day is passed as far as the commercialized Mother’s Day is concerned. But, honestly, it’s okay for our mothers to be honored every single day. What a role model my mama was and still is today, 18 years past going to heaven. Yesterday, for a video presentation to her students, my daughter interviewed me…
Feeling Satisfied
The word, satisfy, conjures up all kinds of images in my mind. The most recent was on Mother’s Day. Satisfy means to fulfill, gratify, or meet someone’s expectations, or needs. I could check the box in front of each one of those words because I was over-the-top satisfied. A mom with her family around her;…
Time for Intermission
It was a busy weekend and few days in Tulsa last week and weekend. Then I knew a busy weekend was in store when my family were all coming in for Mother’s Day weekend. I was amped up with excitement – unpacking, baking, getting Mother’s Day gifts and love notes for my girls, and shopping…
💐💐Happy Mother’s Day to ALL Women 💐💐
One of my greatest joys in life has been to be a mother….to my own children AND to those God put into my life “to mother”. Nothing is so dear as the results of a hug or a word of wisdom I shared with someone who needed that hug or word. It is so unique…
Empathy Makes a Difference
Empathy: the ability to understand and share the feelings of another, like putting ourselves into the mental shoes of someone to understand and even share their emotions and feelings. Not until I saw it, did I believe it. I’ve been telling the tales of my recent visit and stay in Tulsa with my bro and…
I’m a Head Banger
That’s how I felt the first night I spent at my bro-and-sis-in-law’s home. I was their first-ever overnight guest in their home except for their granddaughters. The room was always just for them, with the giant doll house, castle, stuff animals and a closet full of toys and legos. I was honored to share this…
Paying Attention to the Moments
Those who follow me on social media, know “Seizing the Moments” isn’t a new topic for one of my blogs. I’ve used the title or the subject in many blogs because seizing the moments are so important. That’s because I know how important it is to not miss opportunities to help, encourage or give a…
