A Brush With Death
February 12, 2010
As I lay in bed, I instinctively, lovingly, rested my hand on my pregnant belly. Little did I know as I felt the kicking of my unborn baby that in just a few short minutes my life would be changed forever.
The time was getting nearer for our baby to be born. I had been having contractions all day. I figured our baby would be born that night or the next day when I went to my scheduled appointment. Read more
A New You by The New Year
October 18, 2009
You all know about the ecomony. Are you about as sick of hearing about it as I am, gloom doom gloom doom. I suppose if the only thing you see is the bad stuff, it might really look like that. I’ve been trying to see with different eyes. In our part of the country we have a lot of new buildings being constructed. I can’t find a place to park when I go shopping. It looks to me like we’re thriving here. Even my real estate business has picked up a bit. I guess it would be pretty hard to not pick up when I didn’t have any sales for six months last year. Miraculously we survived and made it through the rough patch. Read more
The Plans I Have For You
June 28, 2009
She came to me – with that look on her face. I had known her for 21 years. I knew her looks. She was nervous, scared, and needed “to talk.” A list of possibilities ran through my mind. I suggested we go for a drive. There is something safe about driving around in the car talking. No interruptions. No distractions. Just she and I together in the car. We sat in the car for a moment. I turned to look at her. A tear fell down her cheek. The look in her eyes was that of fear, excitement, nervousness, and disappointment. I don’t remember the exact words we exchanged that night. But I know I had to pull the words out of her. I reassured her that nothing is insurmountable. Read more
More Pain? No Gain!
June 4, 2009
I love a good treasure hunt. I use them all the time with educating my children, gift exchanges, etc. They are great fun!
One of my first memories of doing treasure hunts was on my 13th birthday. I planned a great scavenger hunt and hoped that I could get on “his” team. You see, I invited “him” because I liked him. I also invited the girl he liked, because I knew he would come if she was coming. I even mentioned to him that she was coming to the party. Why did I do this? Because I wanted to be near “him” even though I knew the event would cause me pain, watching him with this other girl and wishing it were me. Read more

Getting to the Bottom of Sin
March 2, 2009
Originally written for my site in 2004.
Sometimes things in life don’t always go the way we would plan them. However, I have chosen to try to make the best of any situation, by seeking out the Lord to discover if there is perhaps a lesson the Lord is trying to teach me.
Recently I had taken a trip on an airplane for a speaking engagement. One of the things I use in my talk is a Supermom apron with lots of pockets, which I fill with different items that aid my talk. I have items like a plastic frog, a picture of my last baby at his birth, bubble bath, a squirt gun, a diaper, and liquid laundry soap. Read more
Want to be Blessed? Follow the Simple Plan.

I’m not a fan of rap, but I know a good message when I hear one.
It’s now got me talking in rhyme, but not reason.
It’s worse than reading Doctor Suess to my kids.
I spent too much time, watching their vids.
And now I must let you go cuz I’ve got work to do.
So, peace out, and I hope you enjoy the vid too.
Mirror, Mirror, On the Wall
January 27, 2009
I’ve always hated mirrors. I’m not totally certain why that is, but I know that I hated having my flaws staring me in the face. Perhaps not looking in a mirror was my way of trying to maintain a positive attitude.
I’ll never forget the time my oldest was twelve and looking in a mirror. She kept making comments about all the flaws on her face. As she spent more time staring in the mirror, I noticed her countenance change as she continued telling herself all the things wrong with her. Read more
Taking Care of You! – Itty Bitty Pity Party
January 27, 2009
Have you ever felt like you just needed a little time to feel depressed? Like somehow if you could allow yourself that time, you would be able to get over it? The only problem is we don’t normally have a plan to get out of it. So, we end up staying in what I call, “the bad place” for too long. Read more
New Year’s Enhancements!
January 27, 2009
Most diets begin on a Monday. Most end on Thursday. Resolutions begin Jan 1, the list is often stumbled on months later, then tossed in the trash. The feeling of failure will often envelope the person when they discover “the list.” People quit smoking when the pack is empty, but the pack is never empty because there is another one to take it’s place.
