Living in the Peace Zone
This “Love” and “Heart” art were displayed outside the gift shop at our hotel in Cabo. I knew a blog would be forthcoming when I snapped this photo. Please forgive me for yet another blog that was inspired from our trip. I thank God for so much content! I remember my husband, myself and our…
I’m ordering an unlimited supply of it. Laughter medicine, I mean. If ever we needed a hearty dose, it is right here and now. I MUST live above the fray of those who are angry and upset about the election outcome, the incessant whining and complaining and living in fear about what tomorrow holds. The…
Isn’t it day-and-life altering when we’re in the company of those who just brighten up the room with their optimism and sense-of-humor? I was in that company Wednesday night with these powerful, joy-filled women. Many were missing from our group, but these “merry hearts” sure made mine merry. It had been a while since we…
Woody and Buzz Lightyear in “Toy Story” sang “You’ve got a friend in me!” There’s this thing about friendships. True friendships. Those friendships that pick us up just by showing up. And it doesn’t even have to be in person. It can be a phone call, text message, email, a Facebook comment, or a card.…

Who would have thought that when I felt God’s nudge five years ago to start a Life Group in my home in Tulsa that I would have met some of the most remarkable women that sincerely realize, like Queen Esther, they are HERE on this earth, at this time, “for such a time as this”.…

It doesn’t mean memorizing jokes and jamming them into conversations. A good sense of humor can turn messes and unfortunate circumstances into a great relief from the stress of it all. A…
I was in Tulsa for the last couple of days to check in on Mom and my other besties. So my “sugar and spice and everything nice” awaited me. When I arrived at Mom’s, Karen (my sis-in-law) and her home health nurse were with her and Mom was cringing as the nurse tended to some…
Payton, my 16-year-old grandson, is going on a missions trip to Guatemala in June, so in efforts to raise the monies to go, he posted in a neighborhood community app that he would do odd jobs for people. So when a lady called and asked him to get some things down from her attic, as…
Chuck E Cheese goes way back in our family. It started with my two kids and has continued through the decades with the grandkids — and still now, with the youngest, 10 year-old Bryson. He needs his “fix” every time Nana comes into town. Older brother stopped going last year because, you know….”Chuck E is…
