    They are Not Stupid

    We are going through a season of change in our family. Our daughters are leaving home. Daughter 2 moved in with a roommate. Daughter 3 sophomore and daughter 4 freshman are college bound. As we listen to their plans and goals we have to remember they are inexperienced young adults. They are not stupid. Yes…

  • Lead the way

    Are you a leader or a follower? I have always thought I was a follower. I was wrong. My headstrong ways are my motivation. I respect leaders in my life and cherish the guidance they have given me. I do my best to be worthy of being a leader. I am a leader. Love and…

    Who are you no longer willing to be?

    I saw this question on an advertisement for a journal called Dig Deeper. I tend to think those sorts of self help journals are a bit predatory. They cash in on the insecurities of people to make a profit. However the question stuck with me. Who is it that I no longer want to be?…

    The Day After

    Yesterday was Mother’s Day. It was a beautiful day. My husband and I went to church then to the movies. We have six children, one very adult daughter, three newly adult daughters and two teen sons. Did any of the children spend time with me? Did I receive any gifts? One daughter was home and…

    It’s been awhile

    I know you’re probably thinking, “I haven’t seen a post from those O’Garas in a bit.” Life has a way of distracting and taking over. We have been avoiding the chaos of media in general. It’s depressing. What we have been doing is writing. Music of the Bones (Necromancer’s Song Book 2) is in the…

  • She is Fire and Grace

    Who is the most confident person you know? My oldest daughter is the most confident person I know. She does not always believe in her own power. I have watched her go through hell in her adult life. She is much like me in that she had to make her own decisions and do things…

    My Challenge to Stop Online Shopping

    I have decided this year to abstain from online shopping. It has been a rough 5 days. I knew that I was doing a lot more shopping than I should have, but oh my goodness. I have had to stop myself about 50 times a day. What is your go to when you are bored?…

    I just Called

    Describe a positive thing a family member has done for you. When a family member calls me to chat, that always makes me happy. People depend so much on texting and social media that hearing someone’s voice is special. No really! That small box in your hand is a verbal communication device. You should try…
