Remembering to Re-Member
Here I am – back in Tulsa. Sis and I are working diligently on getting Mom’s Estate Sale ready, but not before many close friends and family members came and took a token of a special memory they had with Mom in the past. We’ve loved the “remembering” of such special and momentous times that…
These Moments Are a Few of My Favorite Things
It is isn’t the money in my wallet or the car I drive or home I live in. It isn’t the TV show that made me laugh or the movie I saw that inspired me. Nothing can compare with the priceless gratitude moments that represent my favorite things. I was thrilled to have my children…
It’s a Matter of Perspective
I had the privilege of judging at the Dallas Speech and Debate Tournament yesterday. One of the speeches that impressed, inspired and blessed me was by a gal who gave an Illustrative Oratory entitled “Perspective”. An illustrative oratory is one where the speaker is able to use props and graphics on an easel and boards…
Give Credit Where Credit is Due
I’m big on recognizing blessings aka the favor of God. For example — that parking place close to the door of the store, the unexpected check in the mail, the traffic light turning green before you stop, the sale price on an item we needed. I think that the more I give credit to where…
One Gal’s Junk…..Another Gal’s Treasure
My sis-in-law and I share a sweet memory of the estate sale company that we owned and operated. We witnessed the “junk” of many become the “treasures” for others. Perspective. A useless Tupperware lid for one, but for another it was just what they needed. Old worthless baby stroller for one, to another it was…

Open my Eyes and Ears and Heart. Help me NOTICE.
A couple of Sundays ago, I was so caught up in conversation with a friend, that I barely NOTICED when a sweet young friend, handed me a page of artwork. I told her “Thank you so much” and hugged her, but not until I got in my car did I take the time to look…
Outlook and Perspective
The 2016 Unstoppable Leadership Summit in Texas continued today with incredible sessions that always radically impact us with a new outlook and perspective for this new year. I loved it when we all received black rimmed glasses (outlook & perspective) with an arrow on the sides — trajectory. Set-backs are like an arrow that is…
Perspective: It’s the Way SEE Things
Day 302 of Photo Inspirations — Perspective: It’s the Way We SEE Things I’m not posting this as yet another selfie, but I was inspired for the eye glasses clerk to take my photo because I had a “photo inspiration” moment. While my eyes were dilated from my eye exam, I had about 20 minutes…
