When our children were little they enjoyed coloring, painting, and crafting. Creating. We encouraged this. Ordinary mashed potatoes became volcanoes. The “lava” was the gravy. We also made green eggs and ham (and yes, we ate them). Mealtime was always an adventure. During other creativity-bursts, we strung beads, built forts, fired pottery, wrote stories, and wove potholders. We colored, painted, and …
When I was a teenager I loved theme park rides. Fast, high, or topsy-turvy—didn’t matter. The rush of adrenaline and the thrill of the moment trumped any reservations or fear, and I loved the heady sense of accomplishment that came afterward. Ahhh. Youth. Today I go for rides that are much tamer in comparison. I’m less inclined to tackle anything …
Ahhh. Valentine’s Day. One of my favorite holidays! Just mention the word valentine and I go all mushy inside. Of course I would. (There’s a reason I live, breathe, and write romance. I’m a romantic! A huge one.) And I’m always on a mission. Remember that little pocket notebook I carry? Often, when I’m out and about and I see …
Well, after a delightful weekend with record-breaking seventy degree warmth, the Ozarks is in the clutch of winter yet again. The temperatures plunged into the thirties this week! Hmmppff. There’s still much to be thankful for. The house is warm, the coffee pot’s on, and there’s some tasty baked goods on the counter just waiting to be eaten. Come on …
Where I live, it’s not unusual for farm animals to occasionally wander off from where they’re supposed to be. Cows, goats, horses, and chickens have all made an appearance along the tree-lined lanes of our neck of the woods. Once when our daughter was about three, she stood at the window and clapped her little hands. “Mommy, come see the big birds …

Ahhh. Wednesday. The mid-week slump. Are you feeling a little blah? A little unmotivated? Well, I’m so happy you’ve stopped by! I have just the cure! Today I’ve pulled out all stops and picked a basketful of encouragement just for you. I’ve combed through the archives and chosen a few of my favorite posts—ones that will uplift, inspire, and brighten …
Welcome, welcome, welcome! Delighted you stopped by! Have you had a great week? If you’re still on the fence about that, I hope you feel better soon. You’re about to get loved on! Sit back, relax, and pop a cyber berry and some chocolate cake. Settle in for just a few minutes while we visit. This week my blog was …
What determines a winner? Genetics? Mindset? Drive? To go a step further, what defines a winner? Well, most of us would think of accolades. Recognition. Acclaim. Maybe even superstardom. But what about those folks who are the quiet achievers—the ones who plod along day in, day out blazing a different, but distinct trail uniquely their own? Food for thought, isn’t …
What a difference a weekend makes! Here in the Ozarks we had spring like temperatures. Knowing it wouldn’t last, I savored the bright sunshine and warmth. Ahhh.
