Lemonade Anyone?
It hasn’t been so long that we could forget the Covid pandemic. It was all we could think about during those times. But during that season, even though there were challenges, there were many who thrived – who invented services and created ideas that made them millionaires. They took the “lemons” and made lemonade with…
Listen to the Frogs and Smell the Roses
My inspiration for today’s blog came from a young mother of four and her FB post. These were her words that captioned this first precious photo so beautifully: “When I’m really trying to get a workout in (aka, not stopping every 2 minutes), I’m reminded to slow down when my daughter wants to listen to…
S.O.S.Time to Slow Down
My dear Tulsa friend often sends me emails that include hilarious photos, statements, and stories that give me comedic relief. I loved this one from a few days ago:S.O.S.“An Airbus 380 is on its way across the Atlantic. It flies consistently at 800 km/h at 30,000 feet, when suddenly a Eurofighter with Tempo Mach 2…
High Tech Versus High Discernment
I heard about a GPS app where parents can know where their kids (who have a cell phone) are at – at any given time. But, beware, parents! I also heard about an app that is called GPS Spoofing where the kid, or anyone, can make it look like they’re somewhere, but in reality, they’re…
Who is YOUR Someone?
Who is YOUR Someone?President Ronald Reagan coined the phrase: “We can’t help everyone, but everyone can help someone.” That quote speaks volumes to me when I think about the “someones” that might have passed my way, literally….passed, without me giving them a second thought. I might have been so caught up in my own little…
Fast Forward — It’s R-Rated
I’m in “search and let-it-go” mode. My community is having its bi-annual garage sale this weekend. It’s a great way to purge and get rid of junk which may very well be someone else’s treasure. I always loved going to garage and estate sales. I think that’s what led my sis-in-law and I to start…
Slow Down and Listen to the Frogs
My inspiration for today’s blog came from a friend’s FB post. These were her words that captioned this precious photo so beautifully: “When I’m really trying to get a workout in (aka, not stopping every 2 minutes), I’m reminded to slow down when my daughter wants to listen to the frogs. I know one day…
Change of Pace = Change of Perspective
I had a change-of-pace from all the unpacking and organizing here with my Austin family yesterday. I was designated as one of the chaperones for my 11-year old grandson’s class field trip to the Hill Country Science Mill in Johnson City, TX, the hometown of President Lyndon Johnson. The kids rode in school buses and…
Patience is HANGING LOOSE
Day 295 of Photo Inspirations — Patience is HANGING LOOSE! This photo inspiration is from my trip to Hawaii and everywhere I went they were using the hand gesture that means “Hang Loose”. It is so refreshing to see how relaxed they are there. So many of us here on the mainland are in such…
Happiness is in the Journey — Not the Destination
“Are we there yet?” We don’t hear those words so often today from our kids because they’re entertained by their iPads and DVDs in the cars. But, I well remember, as a kid, when my family took the long road trips to West Virginia where my big sister and her family lived, saying those words…
