PRIORITIZE THE "S" WORD IN YOUR MARRIAGE My 'younger self' and my fiance! Taken in 1974 at a Fair and made into a button I loved to wear! Ah ha....I got your attention! The "S" word I'm talking about is one that is rarely used in our generation. In fact, it is seen as weakness [...]

Intentional Living
In this new season of early retirement, I've noticed things about myself that I never paid attention to before. I don't know why they seem so glaring now when I was able to ignore them in the past. Maybe because there are fewer distractions in this season so I have more "me" time. Or maybe [...]
Sometimes you just have to laugh!
It's essential to be able to laugh in every season. . Seasons change our perspective. (I used to think 65 was old, I mean really old. Now 65 is young.) But if you can keep laughing, I promise, you will always stay young! Laughter is a wonderful gift and we tend to forget about it [...]
Strategy to Move Forward With Confidence
My life, as does everyone's, has gone from season to season. Each one seems to last about 20 years, except for this season of marriage and it is going on 45 years!! But even in those years, I have noticed there are different seasons. Some of them I saw coming and engaged in as much [...]
One Season Ends so Another can Begin
Fall (Autumn) is upon us. Summer of 2018 is gone. Here in Florida the leaves don't change and even though it might look colder outside because it is raining, it is still hot and humid.

SEEING MY WAY THROUGH THE FORREST OF CHANGE
Continued from the last week: Stepping into the unknown is a scary thing. Sometimes the unknown is thrust on you and sometimes you make a decision to take that step. Either way, it can be like jumping off a cliff. When I said "yes" to this 20 hour a week receptionist job it felt like [...]
GOD IS FAITHFUL
One thing I can say for sure is that I serve a God who is faithful to me even when I don't trust Him. He knows my heart and is always ready when I am to move me along; "Forget the past and look forward to what lies ahead." Philippians 3:13. I was making my [...]
BE WILLING TO ASK
This blog was started five years ago with the idea of sharing experiences and challenges that come with change. That's right CHALLENGES OF CHANGE. We are creatures of habit and we really don't like a lot of change. We like the thought of it but then, when we actually experience it, we find it full [...]
This Side of the Unknown
I have been through complete knee replacement surgery and have survived to tell the story!! 🙂 In my last post I described how nervous I was and the fear of the unknown was so very real. But...and I shouldn't be surprised......instead of fear, the last two months have been ones filled with encouraging words from [...]
