Married this handsome guy 24 years ago today on Memorial Weekend. Cheers to another 24.

Wise advice heading into this weekend. Enjoy, everyone, and bless those you encounter along the way.

I completely agree with this and I know so many women who do not believe this about themselves. It makes me sad but also determined to show them they are wrong in their thinking. Let's all of us work on our success mindset.

I'm weary writing this from having a ball for the past four days, so I see these as words on a page, but I know that passion is critical to discipline. We all need more discipline to reach our goals. I'm focusing on things I am passionate about these days.

Don't change yourself to fit in. Belonging is so much better. Always be true to yourself and where you belong is where you are supposed to be.

Everything you want is on the other side of fear. Go climb your fear tree today!

So true, especially when the hurt or disappointment is deep. But forgiveness is healing.

You know who you are.

I choose to be happy and content ... because I am loved.

Today's events will not shake me. God is with me.

I've been thankful strength training for years. It's not hard, nor a chore, but it is a regular activity for me. Let's help one another stay thankful. It's such a happier experience.

Let's all start the week out with a splash. Happy Monday, everyone!

Both of these men are right. Keep stumbling forward and you will never lose.

We have huge hearts. Hold love, not anger, resentment, bitterness, unforgiveness. HOLD LOVE.

I just ran across this quote and it contains such truth, especially applied to today's chaotic world. "Peace cannot be kept by force, it can only be achieved by understanding." Albert Einstein. We're getting farther and farther away from understanding in so many areas of life and the truth of this quote makes it discouraging instead of hopeful. For me. Right now. Just today. I'm typically pretty hopeful.

I so want this for each of you! We must believe we deserve.

God is moving in my life and bringing some of his plans together. I'm entering a new spiritual chapter and am open to whatever He has for me. , Cynthia!

Let's all relax and allow ourselves to be authentic, to show the world our quirky uniqueness. God made you just as you are and He's quite pleased with his masterpiece.

Yes to this! LOL. The struggle is REAL.

Every time

This quote really speaks to me and discipline is something I've been specifically working on lately. I believe it does provide freedom. Freedom from worry. Freedom from chaos. Freedom to do more, to be more, to experience more.

Happy World Book Day! Reading is my happy place! Hope it's yours, too!

Happy Friday, Everyone! Hope you all have a fun, relaxing and adventurous weekend!

Such truth in this, BUT it's not an excuse to continually go slowly. Guilty here, but have been picking up the pace as of late and my productivity is soaring, but there's still work to do on my speed.

Life certainly is a roller coaster! Hang on, everyone.

I love this quote. Hope sees and feels what I cannot. Hope helps us believe. Have hope and belief today in yourself and your dreams.

You don't have to be a bright, confetti kind of person to have a bright, confetti kind of day! Make today shimmer!
