In the coming weeks, I invite you to enjoy some excerpts from the book to help you with some of your holiday decorating. While decorating comes last on our life list of things to do, it's important to surround yourself with items that stir your soul. Join me here.
Today I wish for you crisp autumn days…the kind that make you want to take hayrides, pick pumpkins, and get out your sweaters and boots. I wish for you… …Fall foliage beyond compare …Crunchy leaves under your feet (instead of in your gutters) …Hot cocoa in red plaid thermoses …Football games …Warm blankets …Crackling...
I’ve often wondered if those who have these manicured pretty lives really understand how amazing they could be if they rolled up their sleeves every now and then and shook things up. I wonder if they know how truly powerful their lives are if they looked at life not as something that has to...
“Attention is the most basic form of love; through it we bless and are blessed.” – John Tarrant While life flies by, it’s easy to get caught up in the to do lists, the schedules, the hectic lives we all lead. We text while we talk, we surf while we watch TV, and we...
