I didn’t venture too far afield until I married my husband, who was in the U.S. Air Force. For the next twenty-some years, “Uncle Sam” had the say in where we lived — even though we had the chance to fill out a “dream sheet” with our preferences. I liked to tell people that my husband was the military guy …
Wherever you are … be all there. It’s easy to “be all there” when where I am is a good place to be. When life is going my way. When circumstances are favorable. When all’s well with the world — and when my relationships are peaceful and easy. But being all there — and staying there — when life is careening out …
I like the freedom inherent in today’s quote: Life is about trying things … and maybe they work, and maybe they don’t. Life isn’t about getting it right the first time. And there are some seasons in our lives when it isnt about getting it right most of the time. Life is about discovering what works for you. So here’s a story …
I’ve sat here for quite a little while trying to figure out how to begin this post. All I have to do is share about being surprised by the unexpected in my life. Yeah. Let me narrow that down to one thing for you. Um. not going to happen. Every time I thought I knew where my life was going, …
My friend, Sherrinda, recommended the book The Artisan Soul by Erwin Raphael McManus. (I’m not going to comment on his wonderful middle name — Raphael — at this point. But I mean … really … Raphael.) One thing Sherrinda said was how she was underlining the book like crazy. So I bought the book … and I am doing …
I don’t know about you, but there are days when life feels simple … and then there are days when life is nothing but a snarl of complications. Today I’m going with Leonardo da Vinci’s “Life is simple” view of things. Why not? If a true Renaissance man like da Vinci — a painter, sculptor, inventor, musician, mathematician, engineer, inventor, …
Oh, there are so many ways I could go with this blog post. Has life surprised me? Oh yes, yes indeed. I just went upstairs and kissed goodnight one of the most a-ma-zing surprises in my life: my caboose kiddo. The child who astounded me by showing up when my husband and I were parenting three teenagers. True story: My …
I wonder what kinds of attitudes I’ve left strewn around this past week? Little bits of me, of remembrances … for better, for worse. (Of course, I’m prepping this blog post early, with all sorts of good intentions … but I’ll reread it at the end of the week, with perspective and conviction.) But I digress. (And let’s admit it: …
It’s been a week. A good week … but one of those fasten-your-seat-belts kind of weeks. And I don’t know about you, but it’s Friday and I’m feeling all “Whew!” and “Whoa!” and “When can I have a nap?” And then it came time to write this post. And I’m thinking: Which quote do I pick? How do I want …
As I look back over this past week, I can think of many things that made my life richer: Skyping with a special friend Creative texting with another — emoticons can be fun, y’all! Impromptu game nights after dinner The zest of fresh pineapple and watermelon and peaches and nectarines — the flavor of summer But thankfulness welled up deep …
