The end result
How do you stay motivated when learning something new? I love learning! Sometimes, it is a challenge. To stay motivated, I keep the end in mind. And remind myself that learning new things takes time. The time will pass, and before long, the new thing will become something that is a part of my understanding…

Your Vote is Your Voice
Do you vote in political elections? We lived by this belief or mantra: “If you don’t vote, you have no room to complain about things you don’t like going on in the world politically.” I watched the example of my parents. They always voted. And shared their opinions freely. Not forcefully. Somewhat quietly. Let your…

After a Good Night’s Sleep
Anyone who knows me, knows I love mornings. I feel my best, think my best, and work my best at the start of the day. Just last week, I recognized something that I have always felt, but never really realized it until now. I had enjoyed a beautiful mostly productive morning. The time was approaching…

Creatively Speaking
List three books that have had an impact on you. Why? * The Scriptures, because they are how God speaks to me. * The Giving Tree – because that tree gave everything it had because of the love it felt for one person. It reminds me of Christ. He gave all… because of the love…

My Dad
Who would you like to talk to soon? I wish I could talk with my dad. He was so great to talk with. He could talk about anything! I particularly enjoyed our conversations about God, creation, where we came from, and dinosaurs. He was a bit of a deep thinker. I like deep thinkers who…

Photographer
Not a word I ever thought people would use when describing me. It was about 19 years ago when I taught a class of women at church one evening about how to take better pictures with their own cameras. Of course, in doing so, I showed some of my pictures for examples when describing how…

Timing is Everything
Roundabout a Jump Rope Our small city has several roundabouts strewn about the roadway system. Some brilliant person thought these would make progress through these intersections quicker than a 4-way stop. OR… The minds who came up with this plan were great jump ropers in their childhood and thought this would be the perfect way…

Enjoying Retirement
When my dad was my age, he was retired, as was my mom. My parents traveled to see us where we lived in the upper Midwest at the time. Those were the best years for my mom. She loved to travel, which must be where I get my love of traveling and adventure! Numerous events…

First Ever Short Story
If I won the lottery, depending on how much money it was, I would pay off my house, my mom’s house, my sister’s house, give each of my grown daughters 50K, put the rest in the bank, and quit my job so I could spend more time with my family, and more time writing…. I…

It’s not to be the President of the USA
What’s your dream job? Today, we inaugurated the BEST President our country has ever known! He has brought back hope, courage, and a common sense approach! The Gulf of America! The Panama Canal is coming back! America First! God spared President Trump’s life for a reason. I truly believe that. America will be respected again. Watch…

CHARCUTERIE
I used to think cheese, crackers and sausage were the best snack ever…second of course to buttery popcorn. When I had my first experience with a charcuterie board, the layout spoke to my artist brain and the food spoke loudly my healthy food cravings, with a little sugar thrown in for good measure. (Can’t offer…
