How do you relax? When I need a mental refresh, some alone time or need to decompress, I grab my camera and head outside to enjoy nature and photojournal.  I soak in the quiet, the beauty that surrounds us. Nature doesn’t complain, whine or argue.  🤣. Free therapy every time. 

If you had to give up one word that you use regularly, what would it be? I would have to say the word sure. I overuse it for too many things especially at work with my employees when I am physically and mentally done.  It’s just easier to say sure and avoid further conversation orContinue reading “I would surely, for sure, give up the word sure, I’m sure of it 🤣”

Are you holding a grudge? About? Once upon a time I carried a lot of grudges but then experience taught me that holding onto them makes me bitter, negative, unable to sleep well, saps energy and joy. We cannot control someone else’s actions only our reactions.  It’s easy to argue with myself and say “butContinue reading “Cannot control someone else’s actions only my reactions”

Share a story about the furthest you’ve ever traveled from home. I grew up in a tiny town outside Buffalo, New York.  It was just my mom, my two sisters and me. We had no car, and got around town on our bikes.  Therefore we did not travel far. I was accepted to college inContinue reading “Leaving for College. Remember like it was yesterday”

What does your ideal home look like? The physical aspects of a home are not really all that important to me anymore. My biggest thing is a kitchen that is big and functional.

What brings a tear of joy to your eye? Anytime something wonderful happens for my husband and kids.  When they achieve success, they are blessed and get something they have prayed for and worked for.  Will tear me up every time 💗

Why do you blog? Reflect – on things that I should be grateful for, on things I have learned overcoming challenges Remind – others that hardships are temporary and to persevere, that there is good in the world and that there are people who want to make the world a better place Encourage – someoneContinue reading “Reflect, Remind, Encourage, Inspire”

Interview someone — a friend, another blogger, your mother, the mailman — and write a post based on their responses. One of my dear friends just went through breast cancer and endured chemo, radiation and a double mastectomy.  I visited with her recently and discussed the following questions.  What scared her the most after herContinue reading “A friend beating cancer”

How are you feeling right now? Currently sitting at Starbucks enjoying my morning coffee and looking at my piles of paper… schedules, sales reports, and personal to do list. Pondering how do I manufacture more hours in the day 🤣. Seriously, I push forward and remember the verse “I can do all things through ChristContinue reading “Too much to do, not enough time to do it….”

What daily habit do you do that improves your quality of life? One of my key habits is an “attitude of gratitude.”. I listen to praise and worship music on my morning commute so it gets my mind in the right space for the day. At the end of the day I write down threeContinue reading “Praise, praise, praise”
