You’ve done it. I’ve done it. Put on that happy face when really, inside you were dying. They say “Don’t wear a mask.” But then they also say “Fake it til ya make it.” Which one is right? Well, of course there are times when we are at work and we have to just buck […]

As I flew into NYC last night, I began to remember how differently the city looked from 5th Ave looking up at the skyscrapers that surrounded me on my last visit to this majestic city.

It’s our choice. But we can’t do both at the same time. Have you noticed that? Today’s #JustOne2015 Online Conference  was so great by Lori Wilhite. I strongly encourage you to take part by going to Leadingandlovingit.com & registering today. She talked about how the children of Israel complained in Numbers 11 about their hardships. […]

Don’t Worry Be Happy They sing and they rant Really?! That’s not possible I sure can’t! Yea, my mom told me too. It doesn’t do any good But around every corner, there’s something crazy hard that’s new. I get this down and Yes! I’m happy! Then I look up and suddenly sappy. Someone’s upset Now […]

I want to spend the rest of my life making you happy…. When my husband (long before the marriage) uttered those well-meaning words he had no idea what he was getting himself into.
