The Survey

Sometimes when I begin a project, especially one that requires what is referred to as “elbow grease,” I can get overwhelmed and talk myself into putting the project off. One of my least favorite household tasks is cleaning out the garage. Because in South Carolina, where I now reside, they don’t have basements. So, asContinue reading “The Survey”

Timing is Everything

In 1965 the music crowd was charmed by a single released by The Byrds entitled “Turn, Turn, Turn.” It reached number 1 on the U.S. billboard. Written by Pete Seeger in the late 1950s, the song reached its full potential much later. Many folks were in awe of the lyrics and found them consistent withContinue reading “Timing is Everything”

Demo Day

If you have watched any DYI shows or caught up with HGTV, you know every renovation starts with Demo Day. It is the moment where a sledgehammer is premiering on the screen, and everything from countertops and cabinets and drywall to brick and mortar are victim to the force of destruction. And on cue, aContinue reading “Demo Day”

The Good Life

Nothing will knock me off the center of my life’s center of gravity like an interruption to my well-laid plans. It doesn’t matter if it is a long-term or short-term plan change. It takes me some time to regroup and wrap my brain around it. I am a planner by nature. I make lists, andContinue reading “The Good Life”

ALL in…Soul Mates

I always study and spend time praying and reflecting on whatever I pursue, but sometimes there are more significant challenges. When I started this meditation, I really had to review and goContinue reading “ALL in…Soul Mates”

All In: Cardiac Perspective

As I was preparing to write this segment in this series, I stopped to think about how often I receive information about what is good for my heart. Many items I pass by and some I purchase at the grocery store are labeled as heart-healthy. I recently saw where Cheerios changed their shape into tinyContinue reading “All In: Cardiac Perspective”

The Peanut Gallery

Everyone has one and is entitled to it! The last devotional on myths and lies could have quickly addressed this statement. Of course, I am talking about opinions. By the way, most of us don’t just have one but many. Given enough time on any matter or subject, if we don’t have an opinion, weContinue reading “The Peanut Gallery”

This Aint My First Rodeo

During the Winter season that innately causes a slow down in a lot of activities, I usually turn to one of my favorite hobbies. Cooking. I am sure that I belong to the “Foodie ” tribe because I love to try to cook a variety of things and love the challenge of trying something new.Continue reading “This Aint My First Rodeo”

Off With The Old

All the Christmas decor is down and nestled in its garage bed to sleep until next time. The furniture is back where it belongs, and I have started my annual clean out of closets, cupboards, and drawers. Every January, a strong renesting instinct comes over me to re-establish my external order. It is accompanied byContinue reading “Off With The Old”
