In the United States today, most working adults work longer hours than their parents and grand-parents. Research shows that Americans tend to work longer hours, have questionable work/life balance, and have a tendency to take less vacation time while working nights and weekends. As I listened to a message on stress and time spent, the…

Each Word A Gift
Good morning and Happy Thanksgiving 2018! Today many of you will either travel to multiple homes of friends and family, or perhaps you are the host or hostess of this big day where everyone gathers around like a Hallmark movie to eat, fellowship, and enjoy each other’s company. The reality of mishaps and exhaustion setting…
Thanksgiving Meal Recipes Share Out
I met a woman who entertained in her home often. She kept a menu journal of what they served and how it went with the guests. I thought I might start a tradition of sharing holiday menus on my blog so my family and friends can try new recipes! I hope you will share your…
Peppermint Snowballs
Why is this recipe in my optimism category? It started with my oldest winning a weekend away with her husband to a marriage retreat called “A Weekend to Remember”. The win was during a time that both of us were seeking, praying, and believing God for different. Because they went away, we were asked to…
Optimism and Hope: A Daily Practice

That’s the short version of her work. If you want more information on the books she has written and her work, please visit brenebrown.com. On my way to…
November Brings the Word Optimism
How optimistic are you about your life? I’m reading and listening on Audible to a book called, “Girl, Wash Your Face” by Rachel Hollis. I listened to the author read her book about lies we believe and how to move past them so we can become who we were meant to be. Great book. Great…
Occoneechee State Park
A friend of mine recommended staying at this park. She went with another couple and stated that it was beautiful, peaceful, and a lot of fun. This got me thinking. I would truly love to enjoy our state parks, especially those that are close to home. I made the reservation almost 4 months in advance…
The Smallest of Things
When you are desperate for an answer or intervention, God shows up in the small things. It really is the smallest of connections and the simplicity of words spoken that invade and conquer. Sure, I would love a million dollars to pay off debt and retire, an instant healing, and throw in winning my very…
Rooted 2018: Worthy
Brene Brown is one of my favorite researchers and authors. She challenges us to not “hustle for our worth”. Belonging starts with self-acceptance. Your level of belonging, in fact, can never be greater than your level of self-acceptance, because believing that you’re enough is what gives you the courage to be authentic, vulnerable, and imperfect….
RISE
Each month a word is chosen from life experiences and prayer. The month of September just happened like the coming of unexpected rain showers. I was at a loss for a word. I could not find a single word that spoke to how I was thinking and feeling spiritually. I talked to my husband and…
