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…
Breaking Out of the Safe & Warm Space
Over the years, I knew what breaking out of the comfort zone was because I was married to a risk-taker kind-of-guy. Some risks paid off and some didn’t, but it was the two of us, so it made an “It Takes Two” mindset for stepping out and going for it. We were big thinkers and…
Happy November and Being Grateful for Those We Remember
What a great start to this beautiful “Thanksgiving” month with a day that celebrates our heroes of faith!

Those were my husband’s life statement words that were full of wisdom. He realized the pressure that can come from those high profile individuals who expose themselves to public opinion and scrutiny.

The Happiest Place on Earth
Disney World — it’s supposed to be the happiest place on earth — but I guess it depends on who’s saying it and feeling it. That’s where the Wallace’s and I are heading today. I know it’s a stretch to think I would be interrupting my Lenten “desert” and solemnity for going to that fantasy/magical/wonder/pixie…
