Starting the Day on the Right Track
“Think and Grow Rich” was one my husband’s favorites. Actually, my husband was an unrelenting reader and proponent of motivational and inspiring books, sources and individuals. We raised our kids on the likes of this book, as well as Zig Ziglar’s books, the Bible and many other noteworthy sources of positivity. I’m quite sure that,…
Remembering to Write It Down

A Lot Can Be Learned From a Jigsaw Puzzle
Day 55 of Photo Inspirations — What is PUZZLING you? Putting a jigsaw puzzle together at Christmas is one of our family traditions. We have such fun doing it together. The box top will be in a prominent place where ALL EYES can see it, and, strategically, we’ll get the border done first. Often,…

And I love the “Fixer-Upper” Show where they take the worst…
Snow Boots Come With Memories
Day 49 of Photo Inspirations — Snow Boots Come With Memories So yesterday, a snowy day in Tulsa, I set out to take some photos of the beauty. I pulled out these snow boots and bundled myself up from head to toe to stay warm. When I was back home and taking off those…
Winter Wonderland in Tulsa
Day 48 of Photo Inspiration — Winter Wonderland in Tulsa I remember these days, as a kid — so thankful for a snow day when schools were closed. But, today, t I know the kids are probably thinking “Of all days for it to snow, when schools were already closed because it’s President’s Day! So,…
More Abundant Life
Day 46 of Photo Inspirations — “More Abundant Life” What could be more therapeutic for a widow — whose husband is in heaven and her kids are in Washington and Texas — than celebrating Valentine’s with really fun kids — spreading the love around!? My godson and his three siblings, all have birthdays during…
I’m Remembering
Day 45 of Photo Inspirations — February 14, 1961 — I’m remembering. Fifty-four years ago today, the cutest dark haired 13-year old boy named Ronnie (aka Ron) Wuerch and me, the lankiest, 12-year old girl named Donna Wheat, had our very first “official” date (chauffeured by Ron’s dad) to a church Valentine’s Banquet. This photo…
