Stay Curious
Remember being a kid and wanting to know everything? If you have kids you can hear it, right? That insatiable question over and over again. “Why?” When you are the kid and you asked why it was because you really wanted to know. Depending on the response you got from the adult or person you…

Article Share…
I was published in Data Driven Investor. Makes me giggle every time I think about it. Me? Giving financial advice? Well, yes and no. Here’s the link..you decide. I don’t know how much money my husband has…and I like it that way.

Want to Change the World?
Change your perspective. The only constant in this world is change, death and the laws of physics. Though I am no scientist, what do I know. What I do know is there is no reality. There is only perspective. Want to change anything in your life, yes anything, try looking at it in a different…

Hide Nothing
There was a time when I hid things. I thought being secretive was to protect myself or to make things better. Sometimes it was to keep from hurting someone else, or at least I thought so. Usually it was worse when the person found out what I hid. I thought that being more open would…

What Are You Afraid of?
I am not afraid of much, not really. There is my fear of being alone. Not just alone for an afternoon if my husband is busy and all my kids are at school. I mean, alone, alone. Like A.L.O.N.E. alone. No family, no friends. Pure stillness and silence. Just me and a ticking clock. No…

Watch Your Mouth
I am not one to over use profanity. It will slip out sometimes. I have always thought it detracts from who I really am when I use a word that is vulgar. On the flip side I am not a prude. I will not wilt if someone says one in front of me. I have…

Broken and still Useful
Why is it that God seems to choose the sinner over the righteous to do his work? Isaiah preached naked. Rahab was a prostitute. The Samaritan woman was divorced…more than once…Paul was a murderer. Moses was a murderer and couldn’t talk. Noah was a known drunk. The chosen king David coveted another man’s wife and…
