Let’s Laugh About It
There’s a woman in the Bible who’s described as “clothed with strength and dignity,” and here’s the part I love — she “laughs without fear of the future.” (Proverbs 31:25). I’d love to be that woman!

Our Fall & Winter Wardrobe Reveal
I was proud to say that I had two walk-in closets at my place. Yesiree! This gal needs two closets – one for my Spring/Summer wardrobe and one for my Fall/Winter clothes. Oh, but enters a godly and dear man into my world and I lose one of those closets. Now, the off-season clothes live…
Are We Acting Up Too?
Last week, I recorded Queen Elizabeth’s big celebration that commemorated her 70 years of professional life as the Queen of England.

Just Checking Out My Fall & Winter Wardrobe!
I changed out my Summer wardrobe for my Fall and Winter wardrobe a couple of weeks ago, which is a good indicator that Summer will continue for a few more weeks. 😉 The best wardrobe, regardless of the season is Proverbs 31:25: ‘“She is CLOTHED with strength and dignity and she laughs without fear of…
A Journal of Joy & Laughter
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…
He’s Got a Big Bark, But He’s Very Friendly
Yesterday was absolutely gorgeous here in Austin, so much so, I just had to get out for a nice, leisurely walk. All of a sudden, out of nowhere was MIGHTY MIKE, ready to take off my leg or so I thought! His owner held him back and assured me that “He’s got a big bark,…
