When the Wham Comes

Last night, I had one of those, “I ain’t gonna get it all done moments”….. As you know, if you’ve been following me here, we have a very large event happening in just two weeks. I have NO IDEA where the heck the last six months have gone, but all of a sudden I’m staring…

The Frog

Many of you know that I work out throughout the week. I’m an early riser and I like to knock this piece of my day off the list, quite honestly to make sure it gets accomplished. I know if I wait until the end of the day, I simply will not do it. I spend…

Just Ask

If you’ve been following this little blog for the last month, you know that I’m in the midst of the final planning of a very large conference in a few weeks. Every year we hold a charity event/activity to benefit the local communities where the conference is held. This year is no different. We’ve had…

Start the Day with a Memory

This morning we took our family back to the airport after a wonderful long weekend. It was a weekend filled with laughter, smiles, sunshine, wildlife, and love. Many memories were made and shared too. Back to work today, and interestingly I’m not feeling the “ho-hum, ugh back to work blues”. You know, that dread of…

Just Laugh

My husband and I are celebrating 35 years of marriage today. Yesterday we treated ourselves to a day on the water, and then finished with a beautiful dinner at one of our favorite restaurants. Throughout the day and evening, we played remember when. Then, we enjoyed time just taking in our surroundings. God has blessed…

BBIC

Tonight we had dinner at a summer gathering with other parishioners from our church. Each summer a few parishioners pick a month and plan a dinner at a local restaurant. Here in South FL in the off-season, we like to make our way to the restaurants where it’s easier to get in, few lines, more…

Gifts to Share

I’ve always been envious of people who have the creative gene in them. You know, the scrap bookers, the crafty souls who can turn a room into a wonderland for a birthday party, the people who can make a beautiful gift basket out of items picked off a shelf in a specialty shop. I was…

Remember and Give Thanks

Today is an anniversary. My dad passed away 24 years ago this morning. Actually, he passed away just down the street from where I reside now in SW Florida. I was fortunate to be holding my dad’s hand when he left this earth, and God blessed me that morning, knowing that Jesus accompanied him home.…
