Slippery Slopes

March 31, 2020Leave a Comment on Slippery Slopes

One of my favorite lessons my mom taught me back when I was at the age where I was routinely fighting, week after week, to be in the cool kids club and not the outcast club (and it certainly did change from week to week back then!) was one particular day when my mom asked…

Let it be

March 29, 2020March 29, 2020Leave a Comment on Let it be

These days, it's awfully easy to fall victim to the fear, uncertainty and doubt that floods our airwaves and social media feeds about a virus 24/7. We want to just "do something" but most of us are under stay at home orders, so options are limited. It appears from my glances at my timelines this…

Each contact with a human being is so rare, so precious, that one should preserve it.Anais Nin Image by PublicDomainPictures from Pixabay Much has been, is being, and will be written about what is currently happening in our world right now. If you're looking for answers from me, I'm fresh out. But I have been…

Do you think I will graduate?

March 19, 2020March 19, 20203 Comments on Do you think I will graduate?

It doesn't seem like that long ago...in fact, for me it was in a professional development class I took only a week or so ago...when we were talking about how anyone under the age of twenty today was not born when we endured the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. When we talk about things…

Walking by faith

March 10, 20202 Comments on Walking by faith

The greatest legacy one can pass on to one’s children and grandchildren is not money or other material things accumulated in one’s life, but rather a legacy of character and faith. Billy Graham It's days like today that I am so grateful to have been raised by people who had been guided by their faith…

Hear me roar

March 6, 2020March 6, 20202 Comments on Hear me roar

The winner of the 2020 US Presidential Election will not be a woman.  (Well, unless Tulsi Gabbard has a heck of a surge, I suppose.) I was offline most of the day in a meeting, but once I got to the airport I had time to review what had happened in the news today. Elizabeth…

The power of owning up and owning it

March 4, 2020March 4, 20202 Comments on The power of owning up and owning it

A gift of age and life experience is the opportunity to view things in the fullness of time. Within a year of my college graduation, the Challenger blew up and fell out of the sky and the oil business in Houston sank like a stone. It was a heartache for the city I had chosen…

Hi. I love my husband, my family, my country, all dogs (but especially ours), cooking, wine, travel and am a bit of a news junkie.

I have opinions, reflections, and passions about what I’ve learned from the different roles I’ve had in my life as a daughter, a sister, a career woman, a friend, a wife, an aunt, and a stepmother that I plan to share here. I’m also at the age where I’m starting to ponder life’s next chapters, and the inevitable changes that come with age.

Regardless our politics, our relationship status on Facebook, or whatever we might be dealing with personally at the moment, I believe we’re all in this together, and we’re just trying to figure out how to embrace the inevitably rocky journey of life with optimism and hope.

Whether you read a post here and say to yourself “Thank God, I thought it was just me,” or “Good Lord, she’s lost her mind,” I hope you’ll tell me so. Thank you!
