Fish Tacos

You know how there are moments, honestly – many times! – that we don’t understand something until it’s already done? Like when we are in the moment, we can’t see it for what it really is. Maybe because our emotions are blurring our vision or because we aren’t paying attention or we just plain miss …

Pushed into Opportunity

So often, I hear the question, “How did you learn Spanish?” My response, “Pull up a chair.” Many times, at least in my personal life, we get pushed into things that are really opportunities in disguise. I realized this not too long ago as I wrote another post. Spanish is one of those topics that …

Heavenly Reminders

There are moments when God reminds us of things that life can encourage us to forget. I LOVE when God does this! It’s kind of like a friendly Heavenly reminder of something that brings back the initial sensation that the first experience gives. You know the adrenaline you get from riding your first roller coaster… …

Fat Tuesday

There comes a time in life when one begins to wonder. A pondering of life, one’s decisions, the past, the future, the what-ifs, the curiosity and hunger for more. Some refer to it as a mid-life crisis. A re-position. A life assessment.  I assume it’s because in a sense, one looks back over the past …

Tulip Mania

Have you ever heard of the term, "Tulip Mania"? I hadn't either...at least not up until last week. At first thought, my mind pictured frazzled ladies at the supermarket fighting over discounted tulips, but that isn't the case. Not this case anyway.

Rain

Friday, August 3rd I'm on my way to work early today. I've been asked to organize a baby shower for Meg, a lady at work who is on baby # 3. The time is close to 7 am. I bring the dog in, lock both locks and close the screen door. As I turn around …

Designed for a Purpose

Today was Day 1 of starting my new marketing gig. 10am-2-ish pm.... at Mel's house. I met Kit, an adopted black and while cat, took a tour of entire house and met the flirty boyfriend who lives down the hall. Mel lives in a condo. I had no idea really what a condo was until …

When God Closes a Door, Sometimes He Opens a Small Window…

Have you ever heard the saying, "When God closes a door, He opens a window" or "When God closes a door, its because something better is coming"? Well, He did just that to me. Yesterday as a matter of fact. Well, the window part was yesterday. The door part started a few months prior. So …

God Speaks: Dream of Trees

The Dream -- Sunday, July 15th I am at the house with my soon-to-be-husband. I hear a loud noise outside. I go to the front door and see a black four door sedan parked outside the house. Four men get out in unison with chainsaws in hand. They leave the car doors open and move …
