About Me

WELCOME to My Blog!  Thank You for Visiting!!

This is me.
November 2017


Christmas 2009
An Ordinary gal... with an extra ordinary God! 
He is the Giver of Life!
I have nothing except what has been received from His Loving Hands.


Other ordinary tidbits that makes me unique...
I am the only daughter with three amazing brothers...
I was single until I was 47 and was more or less content with that... 
I got married June 14, 2020!

I try to live to the fullest and celebrate even the smallest things  
...from the first conscious thought upon waking... 
to the ten minutes during a lunch break to enjoy Knowing He is with me ... to a workout that brings about a good healthy sweat!
 Sasha, my lab/shepherd mix.
Sasha died April 2022,
she lived to be 15 years!

Baby Kitty

My two furkids bring me joy. I have many stories about life with two critters. (Update: Baby Kitty died December 2018) I have a new kitty named Zora! 


I have traveled to many wonderful places on this earth; each place and the people of those places have enriched my life and broaden my view of the world.

Pisa, Italy ~  January 2008
I have done a little of a lot of things... I am or have been a teacher, a student, manager, director, coordinator, administrator, caretaker, mentor, coach, counselor, writer, speaker, adventurer, dreamer and most recently a wife!

I enjoy sharing tidbits of my journey.  I see life as an adventurous journey, we all share ups and down - and blogging is an outlet for me to creatively share my thoughts.... and maybe make a difference in some way.


The Lord created me and you for a purpose... to Know Him, and make Him known!

I hope this blog encourages someone every day!
Maybe that is you today?

TAGGED

What are you reading? Melanie at monday through sunday tagged me for this meme. The Rules: 1. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages). 2. Open the book to page 123. 3. Find the fifth sentence. 4. Post the next three sentences. 5. Tag five people. The book I am reading right now is:.....Mere Christianity, by C.S. Lewis. A wonderful classic! "That is not the point in which faith comes in. But supposing a man's reason once decides that the weight of the evidence is for it. I can tell that man what is going to happen to him in the next few weeks. There will come a moment when there is bad news, or he is in trouble, or is living among a lot of other people who do not believe it, and all at once his emotions will rise up and carry out a sort of blitz on his belief." I don't know that many to tag!!

Psalm 62 - Find Rest, My Soul, in God Alone

Image
My soul finds rest in God alone, My Rock and my salvation, A fortress strong against my foes, And I will not be shaken. Though lips may bless and hearts may curse, And lies like arrows pierce me, I’ll fix my heart on righteousness, I’ll look to Him who hears me. O praise Him, hallelujah, My Delight and my Reward; Everlasting, never failing, My Redeemer, my God. Find rest, my soul, in God alone Amid the world’s temptations; When evil seeks to take a hold I’ll cling to my salvation. Though riches come and riches go, Don’t set your heart upon them; The fields of hope in which I sow Are harvested in heaven. O praise Him, hallelujah, My Delight and my Reward; Everlasting, never failing, My Redeemer, my God. I’ll set my gaze on God alone, And trust in Him completely; With every day pour out my soul, And He will prove His mercy. Though life is but a fleeting breath, A sigh too brief to measure, My King has crushed the curse of death And I am His forever. O praise Him, hallelujah, M...

Whole30 ~ I did it!!

Image
So this past month I embarked upon an adventure: I have been been doing a body-reset program called " Whole30 ".  The program is very intense, with straight-forward guidelines: basically you have NO sugar, No grains, and No dairy, for 30 days. When I first realized what it was about and what you were suppose to do, I was like " NO WAY! I could not do that! "  Yet, always the cheerleader for health and holistic living, I proclaimed to my friend who was saying she was going to do it, " I will do it with you to support you! " September 30, after 10PM I ate my last 3 Tim-Tam cookies, fully dunked in a creamy cup of tea, saying a sweet farewell to sugar, grains and dairy-laden drinks for my next 30 days!! And what an adventure it has been.... Typical Whole30 breakfast: I have always eaten eggs and coffee,  but now I was omitting cheese, toast, and cream!! ...The first 48 hours I experienced flu-like aches, crankiness, headaches, as my body screamed...
