When “Alone” Doesn’t Really Mean You’re Alone

  I do a lot of things by myself. Recently, I went by myself to a concert.  It felt like everyone was looking at me like they wanted to say "Oh, that poor lonely woman." I get it.  I would probably look at me the same way too. But....I want everyone to know that I'm …

How Powerful a Blessing

  Like everyone else, my life isn't exactly all sunshine and roses.  I don't know anyone who doesn't wish some part of their life was different.

Back in the Saddle Again

It's been quite some time since my last post. But now I'm "back in the saddle again". I've been doing a lot of reflecting and reading and, I think, growing in strength and confidence as a person.  My faith grows stronger every day as well, without which I would not be progressing in my pursuit …

My Loves

I LOVE this bracelet from Alex and Ani! (And it goes oh so well with my obsession!) I'm telling my age here. When I was just a little girl, I saw this movie for the first time.  I have loved it ever since!  It's a musical.  It's done SO very well.  Still one of my …
