The reason for the season...

The past month has been CrAzY busy! Dr. appts., cardiac rehab appts, Christmas prep, and business growth! All great things but I just have not had time to post!


With Christmas just days away, how are you feeling? Relaxed, stressed or in denial? I suggest that we remember the reason for the season and relax and enjoy.

They are the SAME!

If you read the "Just when you thought I was back" post, you will know what this means. If you didn't, take a moment and have a look...its quick. Our family has MUCH to be grateful for this Thanksgiving.  May you have a wonder Thanksgiving Day.

Well, it's a storage room...right?

Do you have a storage room? Do you StOrE stuff in there? Well there is storing and then there is dumping!! I have determined that I am OCD/Hoarder. Am I alone? I love/must have things in order BUT I love SO MANY THINGS!! So I'm orderly and add stuff, orderly and add stuff...nowhere to put it...dump it... Then I get crazy and clean out and organize! I have learned that much of what I have can be admired from afar. As in from a stroll through a store or visiting a blog, etc. My plan over the next several months is to clean out and NOT replace items. I will never me minimalist but I strive to be maximum-less.

Was it something I said...

Goodbye Fall? Hello Winter? Did that seem fast to anyone else?

Just when you thought I was back!

Life is amazing, interesting, a wonderful school of learning, teaching and so much more! And just when things are going along, you know, when you're in the flow, getting things done-you hit the rapids. You are not expecting them. They seem to appear out of nowhere! Yes, it catches you off guard, but you are somehow prepared. We found out that my love has to have open heart surgery next Monday (11/17/14) I will not share all the details, but I will say- thank you to the Dr. that discovered it, ACT when you are prompted, and have a foundation of faith to draw from. We happen to be in Med City as it is referred to and have WONDERFUL friends that are world renown doctors that have and continue to guide us through the process. Now although what he is having is fairly common, it is NOT common to us. There is/has been much to learn from this experience and I am grateful for that. God has a plan for us, for you, and I trust in that plan. He has confirmed to me that it will be ok. I will let you know if His ok and my ok are the same.

I'm bbaaaacccckkkkk!

After weeks of fighting with my computer, trying to fix it and trying desperately to avoid the blue screen of death...I had to get a new computer. With busy business and trying to learn the new one, get it loaded and ready...it has been some time. But I'm back!!

I love an organized office!

Australia

Australia

I had the most wonderful opportunity to visit Australia. It is a beautiful country with lovely people. We were there for 18 days and I'm not sure that was long enough! We were there during the first game of the State Of Origin Queensland vs NSW. The NSW team were staying in the same hotel. May I just say these guy are HUGE! Solid muscle!! The day after the game (NSW won) we had breakfast with the team and the coaches. Well, I suppose to be completely honest, they were having breakfast at the same place at the same time...so technically...we had breakfast with them. ;) We did talk to the coach and he was delighted that he had 2 new fans! They played the second game last week and NSW won!!! The first time in 8 years they have won the State of Origin games. Can you tell we now love rugby?!?!?! The scenery was beautiful and I so enjoyed walking all over Brisbane and Sydney! It was such a blessing to be able to see this incredible country. But I am home now and trying to catch up on work, blogging, etc. (we just had a family reunion with our kids and grandkids too)Look for more consistent post going forward. And thanks for staying around! WELL I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED ! I THOUGHT THIS POSTED IN JULY!!!!!!!! BETTER LATE THAN NEVER, I SUPPOSE!!
