For Christmas Micah and his girlfriend, Korra, gave me a beautiful ‘Inspire’ bracelet and now my favorite mug – Bless Your Heart. They have no idea how totally awesome this gift represents. This past January I made a commitment to write a weekly Wednesday Wisdom newsletter. The goal was to inspire my readers and, in […]

Know when it’s time to call it a day
Our daughter, Abigail, is home from Houston for Christmas. We thought it would be fun to have a pizza night with Addilynn and Alexander. They were great until dinner was about done. I looked over at Alexander and he had put his head on his arm on the table and was falling asleep. Abigail came […]
Read MoreThe firsts
Last Sunday was Addilynn’s 1st official dance recital in a big high school gymnasium. Of course, being her grandmother, I thought she was stupendous! What I really loved, though, was how proud she was of herself. She was tickled pink. Speaking of firsts do you remember the 1st time you drove a car? 1st date? […]
Read MoreLook up
After visiting my mom in the nursing home I have mixed feelings. On one hand, I’m full of joy because she is still with me and blesses me every single time I visit her. On the other hand, even though she is living in a wonderful place, I am full of sadness because I don’t […]
Read MoreIf you’re not ok, say so
Things were going well, really well. I had done the warm up fine and I was lifting my weights just fine. Then, out of the blue I became extremely light headed and had a strong feeling I was going to faint. I was smart and fell to the ground before anything happened. I had all […]
Read MoreOne would think I would talk about being thankful today
After all, tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day here in the US. And, I am very thankful. In fact, every night for years I write down at least 3 things I’m grateful for from the day. I hope you are extremely thankful, too. But, I figured you received enough ‘Thanksgiving’ newsletters this week. I want to talk […]
Read MoreIs it time for Project Zero?
We have a new contest at my Kosama gym and it’s called Project Zero. I think it’s genius. Did you know that, on average, we eat 600 extra calories a day between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Every day! Project Zero is all about maintaining our current weight and maybe, just maybe, perhaps losing a few pounds. […]
Read MoreSome may call it a mess; I call it revealing my dreams
I’m organized. Plain and simple. There is neatness all around me. Except, for right now, in my office workroom. It may look like a tornado has blown through but it’s actually creativity in action. I’ve always thought I was a proactive person but lately I realize I’ve been living reactively. Reacting to circumstances, people, and […]
Read MoreYou are fabulous
Why is it (and maybe it’s just true for me but I’m betting it’s true for others) easier to repeat negative things people say about us then good things? I have no trouble telling my husband if I get an e-mail that tells me what I’m doing wrong, but I gloss over positive comments that […]
Read MoreDIdn’t expect this
I didn’t expect to be writing this article today. In the middle of the night my precious 92-year-old mom fell in the nursing home. She is now in the hospital and will get therapy and we will see what happens. She is so amazing. Her spirit is still one of joy and peace. Oh, to […]
