Every Single Day

The Waterpik is mocking my new habit. It’s showing me new habits are work. The jury is still out whether healthy habits are more difficult to stick with than bad habits are to break, but I enjoy the trade. Replace a bad habit with a good one. You have to stick with it everyday, no… Continue reading Every Single Day

Best Thing Ever

Earlier today, my daughter and I were talking about our little book of ‘Never Agains‘. Then she flipped the conversation around and began talking about the best thing ever. Like, the ginormous bag of cotton balls we purchased, just because it’s the biggest bag we’ve ever seen. (pillow size) We can always use cotton balls.… Continue reading Best Thing Ever

Making a Mistake

To follow my heart a little bit more. That’s what I want to do, but that voice of reason came calling this morning and warned me of past mistakes. Was it really a mistake, or just part of the path that landed me here? This quote was in my FaceBook memories. I’ve learned so much… Continue reading Making a Mistake

These 3 Things

The year of lessons learned. Learning is not always enjoyable, but it’s necessary for the next part of the journey. I’ve let go of things that had heart strings ingrained. There’s been many a fork in the road and I don’t normally take the easy path. Let’s just say I took side roads. If we… Continue reading These 3 Things

We don’t know each… Continue reading Be a Stopper

There Is Better

I bought a yard globe for the front yard. It looked fabulous in the store, but when I got it home and placed it in the flower bed, I didn’t like it at all. It was not right so, I took it back to the store. Is there such a thing as too much bling?… Continue reading There Is Better

It’s Only Pizza!

Everyday at the pizza place is different. It depends on who and how many walk in. When I leave to go home, God shows me a little snippet of why I’m there. Last night was no exception. I made mistakes. I work the front of the restaurant alone. Lastnight, several families came in at once.… Continue reading It’s Only Pizza!

I’ve Learned That

If anyone can cram life’s meaning into one Meme, it’s Maya Angelou. The words in this Meme have passed through my life at some point and time.  Have a splendid day beautiful souls! xx And only wear one catcher’s mitt, so you can throw some things back. Much love. xx Barb. xx

Follow Your Heart

My daughter left me a note of advice. Reading this part makes me feel like I did something right. How many 19-year-old’s say this? “Take this time while I’m gone to do things that fill you up and make your heart smile.” This morning, I woke up feeling guilty about recent purchases. Does that ever… Continue reading Follow Your Heart
