Clothed in Strength, Dignity… and a Little Sparkle
Sunday night I traded my election badge for a runway pass! Our fearless leader, Anita McGinnis, planned another one of her creative “Sweet Tea” events — this time, a holiday fashion show. Twelve of us “models” (and I use that term loosely!) headed over to Posh Mercantile, a new dress and accessories boutique, to find…
Crown Up! Living our Best Life as Royalty
Are we living up to OUR royal potential? Look at Princess Kate — graceful, beloved, and practically glowing in every photo. I’m not sure how or why, but reels and photos of her keep showing up on my phone. Coincidence? I think not. Honestly? I don’t mind one bit. She’s poised, polished, and wearing outfits…
Straighten Your Crowns, Worthy Sheep!
Yesterday my blog featured two sheep dogs called Goodness and Mercy. They kept the sheep from danger. In the case of God’s goodness and mercy following us all the days of our life, I’d say it’s a blessing to be sheep in our Good Shepherd’s royal pastures.

Royalty Comes With Great Responsibility
Day 135 of Photo Inspirations — Royalty Comes With Great Responsibility Deacon Nelson Sousa’s messages always inspire me, but yesterday when he talked about his Portuguese heritage, my ears really perked up. He told how his family migrated here from the Portuguese Islands of the Azores. I was just there a few weeks ago. I…
