What is it Like to be You?
We’ve all played “ice breaker” games with a group of people who we may know very little about. It’s a great way to get to know each other in a very open environment. But, instead of the usual questions: “What do you do for fun? What was your most embarrassing moment? What was your favorite…
Curb Appeal Matters
In the community I live in, all of the yards are pristine — nicely edged, cut, bushes trimmed, no garage doors open. Every home has curb appeal. It’s a requirement here in this 55+ community. I’ve been a R/E Estate Broker for 18 years and I know curb appeal and first impressions matter. A run-down…
It’s Not Broken — Just Wrong Programming
Yesterday afternoon, I went to the fitness center in my community to run on the treadmill. As I ran, I watched the Dallas Cowboys game and they got off to a great start but, apparently they were “out of order” because they lost to Atlanta 7 to 27. On the same note, occasionally, you’ll see…
From This Day Forward
We’re in Atlanta at last — celebrating the love and marriage of my firstborn grandson, Braden Wuerch and his darling fiancee, Ruth Hays. Last night was the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner — hosted by Ryan Wuerch and Shawntel Wuerch. It was quite the spectacular affair that included not only the wedding party, but also out…
Go With the Flow
Go With the Flow The notion of being like a bottle that just floats aimlessly with the water’s current can have both a negative and positive connotation.

I Can Do This — Meet You At The Top
Day 15 of Photo Inspirations: What could be more exhilarating than being pulled up over 75 feet in the air with just a cord holding you up, and then DROPPED? Answer: Being pulled up over 75 feet in the air and dropped with your granddaughter by your side. Okay, I was the most mature one…
Faith-Filled Words = Blessings
At my Life Group last night, we talked about how important it is to speak and believe what we are wanting in our lives. The fact is, our words have incredible power! When we speak faith-filled words, positive things just naturally come our way. But, many people just focus on negative things in life, and…
I Was Hungry and You Fed Me
My Life Group meets at my home every Thursday night. These women are amazing, faith-filled, fully devoted followers of Christ, and I’m inspired by them every week. It seems that God hand-picked our group — each one has unique talents and abilities, and has unique circumstances going on their life, but watching how God answers…
Role Model – Mentor – Women of Example
I have been blessed to have so many amazing female mentors in my life — that started with my precious mother who showed me the power of profound faith — in action. I don’t remember ever hearing her complain about HAVING to work to bring in the needed income when my dad was so sick…
