??People Are Like Cheetos??
I saw this graphic, and whoa-la, my inspiration for today’s post! That’s how I roll – a billboard, words of a speaker or friend, a personal predicament or blessing, a dream, another friend’s post, a fleeting thought – all of which are who or what gives me the inspiration for my daily blog. Most of…
I Wish You Knew
This day, eight years ago, began with the routine we had become accustomed to after eleven months of doctors’ appointments, six surgeries, many treatments, infusions, pain management and a host of other daily activities.

The Inspiration of a Baked Potato
All it takes is to make myself a baked potato with all the fixin’s to open the memory bank of playing that old game “Hot Potato”! Well, it wasn’t actually playing with a baked potato, but that’s what the game was called when I was a kid. We were in a circle and we tossed…
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,…

A Day for Love Letters

It’s Worth the Investment
Day 51 of Photo Inspirations – It’s Worth the Investment!! TBT – Throw Back Thursday – Like any “Stage” Mom, I was always on the lookout for any and every contest I could get my girl in. I got “wind” of the Mrs. North Carolina Pageant and thought “Why not, my Girl?” So, unbeknownst…
Making Room for God
Day 50 of Photo Inspirations — Making Room for God! Let the MAKEOVER begin!! I’ll admit it. I love reality TV shows — watching real people endeavoring to win a competition or watching personal makeover shows that radically transform someone, like “The Biggest Loser”. 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…
