This Side of the Bridge
A friend and gifted writer, Jim Foy, was kind enough to present me with two beautiful poems for our family as well as his new book, “Rhyme, Reason and Repartee” on Thursday. The following is an excerpt from one of his compositions, “This Side of the Bridge.” It is very applicable to Mom’s passing to…
What Would You Tell Your 18-Year-Old Self?
I’ve heard that question posed to an older someone more times than not. They’re asked for wise advice about what they learned from their trials and errors. The answers vary because they lived and learned. And oftentimes they wish they had chartered a different course or given their all at something only to let it…
An Icebreaker Became a Memory Maker
Our interdenominational fellowship group came together in my community on Tuesday night for another pot luck meal and time of fellowship. There is always an entertaining or thought-provoking time after dinner. This week we had five icebreaker questions to discuss at our table. I sat by my cousins and there were two other couples at…
No Fear! You Only Live Once
It was the yellow Mustang convertible that I would have for a week while my car is being repaired, that energized the idea of the 3-generations (Me, my daughter and granddaughter) to take to the road. “The Road” was only around here in Frisco and over to Arlington TX, but we sure had a “Girls…
FORE Father!
Time has a way of moving quickly and catching us unaware of the passing years. It seems just like yesterday that my husband, the FORE FATHER, and our young son were playing golf together. Yet in a way, it seems like eons ago, and I wonder where all the years went. I know that I…
God Loves to Talk to Boys While They Are Fishin’
Before I went to bed on Sunday night while in Frisco, TX, my grandson, Payton Wallace, pleaded with me to get up early on Monday to go fishing with him. I had to leave by 9:30 am for traveling on to Austin, so my first inclination was to tell him, “I’ll go with you when…
Seize the Moment
Day 11 of 365 photo inspirations What a privilege it is to be at the 2015 #Unstoppable Leadership Summit this weekend. Awesome, inspiring, life changing and lots of moments that we’re seizing.

I’ll Do It Afraid if I Have to, but I’m Gonna’ Live With No Regrets!

I’ll do it afraid if I have to, but I’m gonna’ LIVE WITH NO REGRETS!” — Donna Wuerch I’ll NEVER be a stuck-in-a-rut thinker. I’ll NEVER be a rocking-chair grandma…unless I rock my grandbabies. I’ll NEVER settle for…
Go Ahead and Buy a Backpack for an Adventure of a Lifetime!
Yesterday, TBT, I posted about a trip to Malmo, Sweden my husband won for us. As I posted the photos, I saw this one, and what a sweet memory it brought back to me. Can you see the backpacks we had on? First, let me tell you what an oxymoron that is. Ron Wuerch wearing…
Here For A Purpose and Assignment
I am a very busy woman. That’s on purpose. I am passionate about life and squeezing out every drop of it that I can. Not only do I work as a marketing representative showing visitors the wonderful community where I live, but I’m a member of another company where I get to share an amazing…
