Connecting the Dots
Remember that game? I do! You probably played it too, along with the numbers we connected by drawing lines to the next number and soon it unveiled a picture of something. “Connect the dots” is a phrase that has popped up today as a metaphor to illustrate an ability to find the “big picture” of…
Stuck in a Rut or Hole?
Has it felt that way for you? You’ve tried to get out of the rut or the hole, but it seems Gorilla glue has you stuck in a place that has paralyzed your creativity, motivation and determination. A while ago, I posted a photo of a man slumped-in-his-chair with a drink in hand. The tagline…
Would Your Reputation Pass the Test?
I shudder to think what it would feel like to have my life become an open book for the world to read about daily. Oh, wait! I am about as close to an open book as I can get here on social media. But then, again, my life pales in comparison to those front and…

Merry Christmas Eve!
Merry Christmas Eve! My sweet Mama would always make her calls to each of her grown children on Christmas Eve morning, saying — “Merry Christmas Eve”. We expected that call.

Merry Christmas Eve!
Day 359 of Photo Inspirations — Merry Christmas Eve!! We’re getting closer to “Silent Night — Holy Night”, but until then…this day is probably filled with lots of activity for us all — last minute shopping, wrapping the final packages, and getting some of our Christmas meal ready to go for tomorrow. As for us,…
An Angel on Assignment
Day 358 of Photo Inspirations — An Angel on Assignment We hear a lot about angels at this time of the year — the angel Gabriel’s announcement to old Zechariah announcing that he and his old, barren wife, Elizabeth, were going to have a baby, then Gabriel appears to the virgin Mary and Joseph to…
