Declutter and Organize for 2015
Do you need to get organized and declutter for 2015? This weekend I’ve been on an organizational roll! FEELS SO GOOD! I went through my email inbox the last several months, finally finishing up this week with filing or deleting emails. I had 1000’s in there; what a relief to get the emails down to […]

A good year
“I have measured out my life with coffee spoons.” ~ T.S. Eliot It’s early morning, cold, the sky a slate-blue, trees bare of leaves. The last day of December in 2014. I sit at my laptop, thinking about this year and that tomorrow starts a new year. What will it bring? Perhaps many writing mornings […]

Just enough light
At the end of each year, I take time to reflect on the past year and to pray about the upcoming year for God’s protection, direction, and blessings on me and my family. Today when Ray asked what my plans were for the day as we ate the yummy Reuben sandwiches I cooked for lunch, […]

random thoughts
I hope you had a blessed Christmas with family & friends. I had one of the best, most peaceful ones I’ve had in a long time! This year we had our family Christmas dinner at our oldest daughter Heather’s house. Everyone brought a cooked dish (instead of me cooking everything and hosting it at […]

2015 Is a Pivotal Year
Do you have a Bible verse or “one word” for the new year? At the end of each year, I take quiet time alone with God to pray about the upcoming year for God’s blessings, protection, and Hispresence with me and my family. I ask Him for His guidance and direction, and a Bible verse […]

You were created to be a woman of influence
Have you always felt like you didn’t fit in with the crowd? Always on the outside looking in? That’s how I’ve felt my entire life. Several years ago, I began realizing that God did this on purpose. I wasn’t made to be a cookie cutter person. Neither were you. You and I were created by […]

Give the gift of books this Christmas
Sometimes it’s hard to know what to buy family and friends at Christmas. Fuzzy colorful socks? An Itunes or Starbucks gift card? A funny reindeer that sings when you push a button? But you want it to bea gift that they love and that makes adifference and impact in their lives. Give the gift of […]

By the river
A couple of weeks ago, my husband Ray had a dream that he took me to a river. Ray doesn’t usually remember his dreams and when he does have them, he doesn’t usually pay much attention to them. But for some reason, this dream interested him and he told me about it. So today we […]

SIZZLE Webinar on December 16 at 2 pm Central Time
I tell family and friends that God dragged me into public speaking. As a child, I was painfully shy, reserved, and didn’t like any attention drawn to myself. When my husband Ray first met me, I was extremely quiet, hardly talking at all. He jokes that those were the good ol’ days because now, if […]

Italian for Thanksgiving
Winter Storm Cato is beginning, with 1,200 flights cancelled across the U.S. Although it’s primarily hitting the northeast U.S., the storm was already starting here in the Kansas City, MO area, very windy and cold, when I was picking up a few snacks for tomorrow. I’m praying it will pass by Sunday, when Ray and […]
