Living in the Peace Zone
Our dear friend, Zig Ziglar, said this famous quote: “Your gratitude attitude determines your life altitude”. And it is true. How many times have I caught myself in stinkin’ thinkin’ about something I wanted and couldn’t have or something I didn’t want but had it? I sincerely desire to be a 24/7 optimistic woman who…
I’m revving my engine — mentally and physically. My personal, physical engine had a routine colonoscopy yesterday! I kept thinking while I was surviving all the prep work: “How could I have scheduled this procedure at this time of year?” “Wow! Let’s get another colonoscopy next week!” – said no one EVER! For goodness sakes…
In my blog yesterday, I spoke about the holy and faithful ones that the Apostle Paul wrote to in his letter to the Colossians. I should have added to that blog “Happy November”and “Happy All Saints Day! What a great start to this beautiful “Thanksgiving” month with talking about our HEROES of faith! All Saints…
I am in my sweet spot. I have all my family together here in Austin, and if that weren’t enough, Shawntel’s family is here too! I said, yesterday, that my blogs about graduation had come to an end since Brennan’s graduation commencement was last night. Today I am talking about the aftermath of graduation! The…
I know that I am a glass-house kind of gal aka an open book. My blogs reveal the real me. But, I do keep a few things between me and THEE and THEE is Who I am expressing praise to today! My big reveal. While in Cabo, several of us came down with a respiratory…

I’m giving it some second thoughts. Especially, as we sat around our Thanksgiving table declaring our gratitude for all…
This day after Thanksgiving comes with relaxation for those that poured their hearts and souls into their grand Thanksgiving feast day. They prepared for the day — baking, cooking, cleaning up – with the best part that makes it all worth it, being so thankful to serve and embrace family time together. Relaxation on this…
Happy Thanksgiving! I am so grateful for YOU, my beloved family and friends who are ever-afters. What are “ever-afters”? Those are the ones who aren’t with us for just a day, just a reason, or just a season. Ever-afters are those who we grab their hand and shoulder-to-shoulder, heart to heart live our lives with…
Happy Thanksgiving Eve!I decorated for Christmas before Thanksgiving — mainly because I would soon head out for East Texas for our family celebrations. I wanted my Christmas décor out and displayed when I arrived back home. I clearly didn’t skip over Fall because I saw it in all its glory yesterday as I made my…
Hooray! My favorite season begins today. I just wish Mother Nature would keep up with the date, because it’s still in the upper 90s here in Austin. Word has it that we’ll get to three digits again in a few days! They call it “global warming”! Whoohoo! I know the heat waves will subside before…
