I was recently invited to link into a page on Facebook of all the 1969 graduates of Topeka West High School. I know many of you will not be able to believe that that was MY graduating class, but yes, I AM that old!! The friend who invited me also "friended" me on Facebook and when I realized who it was, I gasped aloud. We hadn't seen each other in nearly 42 years and yet here we were

I can only IMAGINE how amazing 2011 is going to be! I am amazingly blessed and have so many wonderful things to be grateful for that give me a strong foundation to start every day with. I think my greatest need is for wisdom. No, I know it is. Ever since I learned in my teens that God has promised to give wisdom to anyone just for the asking, I've asked for it with regularity. (James 1:5)

This year has been a banner year for me as far as decisions go. I mean real decisions. The ones that stick. That's because I made some real hard ones when noone one else was around. It wasn't anyone else's idea that I was jumping on a bandwagon for. Some of them have been profound enough in their ramifications that the results were very noticeable and others have just led me down a better

One of my mentors said this in so many words when addressing a group of us at a business gathering and so lest you think he said it to me personally - as much as it would have been ok, he said it to a group! :)What do I aspire to? AND can I get there being who I am? Or is some very valuable tweaking a good idea? This isn't about "being yourself," but it IS all about being the best "you" you

Does anyone else do their best thinking while they style their hair and put on their make-up? This morning I had a thought come to me while I was doing those mundane chores. Side note here: perhaps I do my best thinking then because I really don't like the getting-ready process and so my mind wanders to other more exciting territories. Here we go.A widow came to Elisha one day all in a dither

Takes a lot of personal growth to have the wisdom to choose to be positive. There are so many victims and whiners in the world! I despise that - I don't want to hear it! Yet, if I don't consciously choose to do otherwise, I can sure slip into it myself. I've learned that everything has a flip-side. There are always up to the downs, advantages to the disadvantages. To choose to only look at

1. When forced to chose between what someone SAYS and what someone DOES, I chosetheir behavior every time. I don't hear nearly as well as I see. 2. We live with amazing power - the power to choose. I can choose whether to get pulled into the drama of life or not. I can choose to get mad at the airline ticketing agent who tells me that my flight has been cancelled or delayed. Or not. Watch

OK, Lisa.Here it is! My entry into the blog world. See, I had been thinking and praying about blogging for quite some time. I don't want to start something I don't keep up with and I carefully weigh what I allow to become a routine with me. So, I would think about it and then not. . . and then think about it . . . and then not. So, my friend, Lisa, says, "So, when are you going to start
