Back to Reality

Hi All,

Please excuse my lack of blogging over these past few weeks.  These “lazy, crazy days of summer” have gotten away from me, I think.  The month of July was a busy one!   I’m still working out kinks of my new computer, but it is wonderful all the same.  Of course, I made my yearly pilgrimage to the beach a few weeks ago and then made a quick trip to New York last week.  Both were really great times.  Whew, I think I’m still trying to catch my breath! 

All in all, this has been a great summer for me so far, filled with laughter and good times.  I can only hope that yours is as bright as mine.  I think I’m done being a world traveler for now.  I’m back, folks!

See you next week.

Motivation at its Finest

Here’s a news clip that will warm your heart and motivate your soul.  Hope you enjoy this as much as I did.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Let's Dream

This is an awesome blog.  Although I’m not a parent myself, I recognize the ability to a change due to a child’s introduction into their parent’s lives.  Let’s dream “past (our) own walls!”  Food for thought on this holiday weekend!

An Inspiring Tale

Here’s an inspiring story about a father-son team who are amazing.  I especially like the line, “You have the ability to do something special and its up to you to make that become a reality," Now, that’s something to think about!

Have a good weekend, everyone.

Have a great weekend, everyone.

Homecoming

I must say that I had a glorious time traveling to and from the Creation Museum in far away Kentucky (and everywhere in between) two weeks ago.  Here’s a shout-out to Alta and Jolene—two of the best traveling buddies a girl could have.  You guys rock!

More Later.

Have a good weekend, everyone!

Finding Inspiration

Here’s another article I hope my readers find inspiring.  Let’s give our best as she prepares to reach her ultimate goal at the Paralympic Games this summer.  Kudos to this young woman who is following her dreams so wholeheartedly!

On a side note, I won’t be blogging for two weeks as I’ll be off on a late spring/early summer jaunt.  I’ll be back, though, ready to continue my Journey of Hope.  Until then—Ta-Ta!

Happy Mother’s Day 2016

Here’s a fitting story for this weekend.  A shout-out for all those special moms who believe in their kids—no matter what.  I know I’m grateful for mine!

Happy Mother’s Day, everyone.
