I have stated many times that I am a planner by nature so this being June, it's time to review, re-evaluate and refocus on the second half of the year and beyond. I realize that where I started in January and where I am now are two different places. In January you are excited, optimistic… Continue reading Half Year in Review

Bloom! What did you plant?
Hello April and I must first make a confession. I do not have a green thumb at all. My father always planted beautiful flowers in the back yard. My father in law raised and grew rare roses for years and has a garden which we eat from for months after the harvest season. My husband… Continue reading Bloom! What did you plant?
New Level..
New Level There was a church that I attended once that played a song by an artist I didn't know but it was titled, "New Level." The hook at the end was, "I'm going higher, I'm going higher in you." I receive that and believe that but also know now more of what it takes… Continue reading New Level..
Never Say Never
Never Say Never I was taught to never say never because you never know what can happen in the future. So, sure I may think “I will never do that again,” but on the outside I don’t know so I can’t say. Why? Words are and have power. It may be a test and come… Continue reading Never Say Never

I… Continue reading You Are Royalty!
I’m Back – Jump into June!
Jump into June! We’re not quite half of the way done with this year yet but almost there. As a sports fan, getting to half time with the lead is great but you’ve got to finish the second quarter strong to get or keep that lead going into half time. Why? Because you want to… Continue reading I’m Back – Jump into June!

Self-Talk
Self-Talk: What Do You Tell Yourself? It was 1963 and the doctor said, “It is a girl!” My parents were thrilled but concerned when they saw that my toes were pointed east and west rather than north and south. For the first nine years of life, there was much time and money spent on… Continue reading Self-Talk
