Guilt Trip

We’ve been on a few trips in our life and we would have to say, this is the one we enjoy the least.  In fact, we don’t think we could use the word “enjoy” at all, because quite frankly guilt trips are down right TorMenTiNg. In the last week we have been talking about this IsSuE not just with each other,Continue reading “Guilt Trip”

Most Valuable Player

A month or so ago I had the opportunity to speak to a group of CoLLeGe students about following their DrEaM and fulfilling their PoTeNtiaL.  I took this trophy along and told them how I had wanted so badly to be named the MoSt VaLuAble PlaYer in BaSkeTbAll my senior year of high school.  Instead, on awards night, I took home theContinue reading “Most Valuable Player”

{My Husband’s Therapist}

“ThErApiSts”  and can come in many forms.  For some it is a ProFesSioNaL who has spent years in school learning to HeLp others.  For others it is a trusted FriEnD or CoNfiDaNt.  For my husband it is our chocolate lab, WaLtEr.   One of my “therapists” is “RuNniNg.  If you are needing a BoOsT, maybe it isContinue reading “{My Husband’s Therapist}”

Build Your Self-Esteem

Life has proven to me that I FeeL the BeSt about WhO I Am when I push myself to TrY NeW ThInGs.  Sure, trying new things may mean I could fail, but those setbacks usually contribute to building better confidence for the future. A couple of years ago I wanted to put hardware on ourContinue reading “Build Your Self-Esteem”

{A Lesson From H.S. Seniors} – “Live Like You Were Dying”

I first heard this song at a HiGh ScHoOl GrAdUaTiOn sung by a group of SeNiOrS.  What made this song so PoiGnAnT and left an ImPrEsSiOn was the fact that they had experienced, first hand, how short life can be.  One of their classmates had died the previous year of cancer.  They dedicated this song to her. I especiallyContinue reading “{A Lesson From H.S. Seniors} – “Live Like You Were Dying””

Country Roads Take Me Home!

In my opinion, there are few things as good for the SouL as a drive in the CoUnTrY.  If you need a break from the rat race or just want a slower pace grab your keys and EnJoY the countryside.  Need a good song?  John Denver’s, CoUnTrY RoAdS is one song my family and I love to beltContinue reading “Country Roads Take Me Home!”

LIVE A Little

With the hustle and bustle of being a mom, running a business and keeping up with life in general, it is easy to let extra fun and uNique experiences pass me by if I let them. To-do lists will always be NeVer-Ending and no matter how hard we try, there will never be more thanContinue reading “LIVE A Little”

This past SpRinG as I trained for a marathon I had a friend SuRpRiSe me with this necklace.  On it is an engraving of the the word “BeLiEvE”, a runner, and May’s birthstone representing the month of the race.  During the long winter months of training it was a constant ReMiNdEr of the finish line and whatContinue reading ““Believe” – The Challenge (Wk 20)”

Kiss From God

A few days ago my family and I were driving and my 3-year old said, “Momma look at that PeTtY (pretty) SuNsEt.”  To which my 5-year old replied, “That’s a KiSs from God”.  From time to time when we see a bLuE sKy with white puffy clouds or another one of God’s BeaUtiFuL masterpieces we use this phrase.  ItContinue reading “Kiss From God”
