Stability? Is it possible for you to experience it with all the shifts and changes that are going on around you? We are a mobile society. People are constantly uprooting and moving to new places. Divorce. Job changes. a new boss…a new career..companies closing…opportunities that dry up… Life changes…growing older…getting married… Change happens and it […]
I found myself looking back at one of the pictures in my blog post “Amazing Feet” several times yesterday. Even again this morning, I just sat looking and savoring the picture of that crazy goat. Talking about being between a rock and a hard place.
Amazing Feet I am absolutely intrigued by nature, but the photograph in the gift shop stopped me in my tracks. My mind flooded with questions as I pondered the phenomenon of this photograph. It was a picture of mountain goats on the side of a cliff at Goat Lick, MT. I was skeptical. Was this […]
Our critic’s words and actions can discourage us. Michael Phelps, has been lauded as the “Most Successful Olympian of all time.” With 23 medals, he has won more than anyone…EVER! (And the number is changing everyday as I write and rewrite this post.) And personally, I loved how he handled the locker room intimidation […]
Scripture calls them wise, but behind their knowledge was curiosity, a desire to: know learn discover. Which came first? I’m not sure which came first; seeing the star or seeing the prophecy. I don’t know if the brillant sign in the dark sky drove them to search for the why behind it’s arrival or […]

The trees don’t even have a fringe of color… they are still stark naked…pronounced “neck-edd” in southernnese. But this southerner isn’t in the South and its […]
Having a baby is such a joy filled time. Getting ready for it’s arrival. Preparing the room. Selecting the tiny, little clothes. The anticipation of it’s arrival. Choosing the right name. Telling your family and friends. But it had to have been totally different for Jochebed. If I told you her life was hard, you might […]
I had breakfast at the fig tree this morning. It wasn’t that I actually intended to, it just sorta happened that way. When Wayne and I returned from our 4 mile walk, I wanted to see if there were any ripe figs on the tree. And there was…so I indulged! My breakfast companion, a […]
Failure is not our enemy! We know that! So why do we drag failure into our future? It only makes us a prisoner. It limits us. It labels us. It sets us up to fail again! It totally paralyzes us! Or we just use it for a whip to beat ourselves up every time we […]
The daffodils have been stunning this year! Clumps of yellow daffodils make me wish I had planted some of these delicate, sweet blooms in my yard last year. Maybe it’s because they are some of the first flowers to arrive that make them so special. Or maybe, it’s their sunshine yellow color that makes me feel happy and warm […]
