While recovering from surgery two years ago, Victoria helped me to a cozy chair and she sat with me flanking the other side of our big open fireplace. The flame crackled between us as I cuddled my favorite blanket. I remember just looking at Victoria and drinking in the fact that we were just sitting there together. She must've felt my motherly gaze because she looked up and smiled back. The marvel of the Lord's timing in moving her home two days before my surgery...I couldn't have planned it ...

Finding Beauty in Every Face & Place – David, a young man and his passion
Have you ever been around someone that flat out enjoys and loves what they do? Well, besides me with Jesus and my oils! Seriously, it's just fun to be around them! We had the pleasure of hosting The Salesman's nephew, David, and let me tell you: David is all about computers. I'd say he is passionate about computers.

Hydration Challenge

Yes, I had just grabbed it out of the dishwasher and filled it to my daily mark for half my body weight in water and was pouring two cups in the blender to make sugar-free lemonade, when I got my second shower of the day. The Salesman walked through the waterpark/kitchen on the way to work, saw the handle and water EVERYWHERE and made some comment ... Read More about Hydration Challenge
Adding Party Planner to my business card
I have always loved celebrating people and holidays. It's a tradition passed down from my mama that both helps me remember the good times I have had and to press ahead to make new memories! Spur of the moment, I planned to celebrate the new year with a few friends. We ate and laughed and acted silly and then turned worship music on and prayed for one another. It ended so well. I've been in a goal setting workshop this last week and though most of my goals are serious *things* I desire ... Read More about Adding Party Planner to my business card
