Panic Helps No One
When has worry and panic ever helped you to relax or think logically? Right! Never. Calm down y’all. This too shall pass. Be smart about it. Read facts. Ignore media hype. Listen to the experts. The trouble is going to complete its natural development to the end. Then a great new trouble will arrive. I…

Luck? No, Thank You.
I believe in human free will and initiative. If you want something to happen make it happen. I hear those who know me asking, “What about prayer? You believe in prayer.” Yes, I do. I believe in thanking God, by whatever name you choose to invoke, for things you need and asking if it is…

Have Fun
With all the bad news out there it is important that you take time to have fun when you can. One of my habits is to surround myself with quirky and unique things. They mean nothing to anyone else and they are nothing of any monetary value. Things given to me or things I have…

Lines Are Drawn
Where are your limits? What do you value? There is an old saying that says, “What you permit, you promote. What you allow, you encourage. What you condone, you own.” ~ Unknown I have drawn some lines. God is first in my life, heart, mind and soul. I do not care if you agree or…

Ain’t Nothing But a Thing
Aw, did that person yell at you? Ain’t nothing but a thing. Why are you laughing? Ok, I admit that is a funny way to start a conversation. Hear me out. If someone says something mean to you, is it really about you? It very well might be about them. Maybe they snap at you…

Remember..not all who wander are lost…
…some are just looking for more coffee….from the mouth of my amazing and often poetic husband who stole that tidbit from the interwebs. After I regained my composure from laughing and accusing him of copyright infringement, no offence Mr J.R.R. Tolkien, I thought he, my husband not J.R.R.T., might be onto something. Not every quote…
