It’s taken me several days to post this, but after sharing it with Tom and asking him if I should, he encouraged me to. My desire would be to be authentic (with whoever takes the time to read this post) about where I am and hopefully where I’m headed…as well as to encourage anyone else… Continue reading #ItsBeenAYear – A Really, Really, Rough Year. #TrustingHimToMakeBeautyFromAshes #Goodbye2019
#ftf = Favorite “Things” Friday! (Most of the time I write about people!) One of the “perks” of my job is the blessing of being surrounded by amazing women. Women of all different ages and phases of life. I love that I know that I can learn from all of them. My friend, Erin, is a… Continue reading #ftf – Erin
If you need to catch-up, I shared about the death of my sweet friend starting here…and today I’m writing about how we, a #tribe of now FOUR women, honored her together. Sheri’s Memorial Service was held at our church and was a beautiful celebration of her life as well as the truth that she was now with… Continue reading #sheri – (Part 3) #fiveOverFiftyFOREVER
If you are a close friend (and/or see me on social media), you have heard about my friend – Sheri. Sheri has been part of my #tribe and a close personal friend for many years. We have been in each other’s lives for almost two decades, but have truly “done life together” on a deep and intimate… Continue reading #Sheri (part 1)
I have these friends…I call them “The Women”. At some point, years ago, we talked about calling ourselves that because we all watched our mothers (or women before us) have women in their lives that were known for hosting showers, bringing meals, celebrating babies/grandbabies, attending weddings and parties, etc. Basically, they were the dependable ones in… Continue reading #pieForBreakfast – with “TheWomen”
October 19, 2016 At my office there is a “thing” that we do every year…it’s crazy and fun and sometimes, well…a tad bit competitive. It’s been “over the top” in some years and ALWAYS an awesome day for pictures (which is, obviously, the reason I love it). This year, in keeping with one of our… Continue reading We work hard…and we play hard! #staffbowling2016 #colorbowl2016
I haven’t even written about MY fabulous birthday back in July…which was AWESOME and AMAZING and FUN, but can’t help myself – I just want to share about Tom’s! Maybe because it was hilarious, spontaneous and I’m just truly thankful for all that participated! Weeks before my man turned 50, I asked him how he… Continue reading #thisisFIFTY – Tom’s Whataburger Birthday Party – 2015
ftf =Favorite Things Friday (And as I’ve mentioned before – most of my favorite “things” are people!) To all my girlfriends…consider this a public service announcement… HANG OUT WITH OLDER WOMEN! I just had lunch with some amazing women – all are “besties” to my mom. They were meeting for lunch and invited me… Continue reading #ftfOlderWomen – July 31, 2015
I’ve decided to officially make Fridays (on this little blog) – “Favorite Things Friday” (aka: #ftf). This is totally a selfish decision – one that forces me to take some time to think, process and write/post more regularly. I’m envisioning sharing some random “stuff” that I like – but, honestly, most will probably be about… Continue reading #ftfPHIL – Our awesome son-in-law!
Received a text this past weekend from “My Favorite” (aka: our youngest – the one that put her own info in my phone and labeled herself “My Favorite” and then added emojis of a pile of poop…and a Koala Bear?!?) So…yeah… The text read: “Happy 2 year anniversary of the day that I found out… Continue reading #2yearslater – God’s plan for “My Favorite”
This too shall pass...
