Power in the Pause

While I was lifting weights a few days ago, a thought came into my head: You gotta pause at the top of the rep, because that is what makes you get stronger. Pause, squeeze and then release.  Later in the morning, I found myself starting to get irritated with something at work. My first inclination...

A Time of Being Grateful

Thank you, God! In a world filled with a million things that are meant to make you want more, it has become increasingly difficult to be thankful for what you have and see right in front of your face. Instead, we just want more and more and are really never satisfied. We scroll through social...

Butterflies

Taken yesterday at La Cantera – God is talking to me and I am listening. I always say that butterflies are God’s way of telling me, “Hi! Everything is going to be all right, but prepare for change. It is going to be beautiful when you are done.” I swear, every time I start to...

Ugly Trees

This pic has nothing to do with my post! HA This is my mom’s new adorable dog, Blue.  I mean, come on, who doesn’t like puppy pictures?? I had a rough week this past week. It has been very stressful and especially full of fires, which have been difficult to put out. I’ve been tired...

24/7

Take Time to be Present A few days ago, I saw a post on Facebook from a Realtor looking for referrals for a commercial lender to do a complicated transaction. They weren’t satisfied because the bank they were using wasn’t open at night “when the clients were available.” So they were looking for someone else...

Step-Kids

My “Twinsie” The final piece of the puzzle came into place when I met my future stepchildren. It was then and there that solidified what I had suspected when I first met Michael – he was my one. You see, I have a confession: When I dated others in the past, I never felt comfortable...
