I Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda
You know those words: “I should have done that but”, “I would have been that but” or “I could have gone there but…..” Should — Would — Could are words I’ve determined to get out of my vocabulary this year because they represent the past and that past is behind me AND they represent hesitation…
We’ve Only Just Begun
That was one of our favorite songs by The Carpenters. As a young married couple, we sang that song completely unaware of what lie ahead of us, but as long as we had each other, we knew we’d make it past every bump in the road we might encounter. Sounds like unrealistic thinking, but it…
Take Heart, Brothers & Sisters, All is Well
How do I know all is well? It is a deep, inner knowing that God has got this. God has got us. I’m back at home and this sunrise on Tuesday assured me “all is well”. I could almost hear these words audibly “Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not…

That is so true, and to take it a step further…. keeping our words positive and encouraging is equally as important to us and to others. People often ask me “What’s the secret to all that energy and enthusiasm…
We’ve Only Just Begun
That was one of our favorite songs (released in 1970) by The Carpenters. The characters in the song were a couple, just married, and were looking forward to new horizons, new roads to choose, with so much life ahead of them. We sang that song completely unaware of what lie ahead….but as long as we…
I Am A Promise and I’m Something Special
Day 277 of Photo Inspirations — I Am A Promise & I’m Something Special #TBT When my children were little, we always had them singing little Gospel songs that had such great messages in them. But there were none greater than two of Bill Gaither’s songs: “I Am A Promise” and “I’m Something Special”. Both…
I Will Act Like I’m Already There!
I was quite the awkward child and teenager. Oh, how much I wanted to dance, or be on the drill team or be a good athlete — in any sport. If only I knew then — what I know now about “self talk” and believing and training and doing something about what I wanted to…
