It took me a long time to realize the truth: Creativity doesn’t always have an ‘on’ switch… nor does productivity! 😬 You just have to jump in and do stuff! I have so many things I want to do, to write, to paint. I keep lists of them in my phone and sometimes it’s aContinue reading “The “AND” Life”

A New Leaf
I’ve been carefully watching this limb on a pecan tree in our yard since an ice storm cause the limb to break a few years ago. Thankfully it’s been supported by lower limbs or it probably would’ve come crashing to the ground. I’m always excited to see new leaves and new growth springing forth. TheContinue reading “A New Leaf”
She is Clothed with Strength and Dignity
Today would’ve been Mama’s 96th birthday. I’ve been thinking about her all week, especially when I saw the irises blooming the other day. Mother was always clothed with strength and dignity; a very stylish lady and she loved to go shopping, particularly in her later years. She enjoyed clothes, purses and shoes… Oh, how she lovedContinue reading “She is Clothed with Strength and Dignity”
Motivation and Mindset
I went to the gym this morning and saw a fellow I hadn’t seen in a while. I greeted him and asked him if he’d been working out or if we’d just been working out at different times. Before he started coming to the gym he had a stroke and there are others there whoContinue reading “Motivation and Mindset”
Remind me, Lord
Let me see if I can put what I’m feeling into words….After a few weeks of celebration and seeing people of all ages experience serious health issues, I’m reflecting on how much I treasure these days, these moments with the people God has blessed me with.Not only these family members but also with friends (silverContinue reading “Remind me, Lord”

My Vision Board On the eve of my next birthday, I’m sharing my vision board. It is, like me, a work in progress 😉. I have various goals pinned on it and they will stay there until they change or they’re achieved. There are things I want to do;…
Happy Birthday to My Shero, Jacqueline Qualls! I first met this gutsy lady in 2014 in Nashville but she made a huge impression on me way before I ever met her in person. Her courage and commitment are such and inspiration to so many women (and men) who are looking for a way to breakContinue reading
Dog or Cat?
Ok, if you’re a cat lover, don’t hate me! I’m sure they have good points but please indulge me here for the sake of making a point. I was reading my devotional the other day about choosing right thoughts and the author used an analogy that was so humorous but true. It reminded me ofContinue reading “Dog or Cat?”
Grace Day
Happy Grace Day to all the Graces out there. The name Grace is a “virtue name.” It has meanings such as charm, goodness, and generosity. And the name is said to be tied to beauty and joy. I never felt very “graceful” or charming or any of those other virtues so I didn’t really thinkContinue reading “Grace Day”
A little help from my friends
One of my besties wore a jumpsuit when we went out to eat recently saying she rarely wears it because she might need help zipping up in the restroom. She did. I hadn’t really thought about that until I realized I’d only worn it once before when I was with friends at our last in-personContinue reading “A little help from my friends”
