“Mileage” Added To My Faith Journey
I’m sure you’ve heard the words “faith journey” before. People talk about their personal experiences throughout their lifetimes and share stories of how their faith has been strengthened and challenged and even rerouted at times. I have my very own set of stories and what I find most interesting about my “faith journey” is how…

A Creative Messenger
I headed out this afternoon to pick up a few groceries and as I was driving near one of the schools I noticed the traffic begin to slow and then I caught sight of a man and a child waiting to cross the street. Once the traffic stopped, they proceeded. As the cars ahead of…

As Fine As Mine
Love is such an interesting treasure. It assumes an incredible amount of facets and according to my experience, it’s most fascinating. It has taken me on a journey of self discovery through the eyes of another and as a result of this process, I am forever changed. I can’t be exactly sure when love…

Analytical Stones
Our journeys are all different. We meet so many people and I believe they all, in some way, have had an impact on where we’ve been, where we are or where we’ll find ourselves as our story continues. I was visiting with a dear friend yesterday and her journey has taken her to a place…

Mr. “No-Green-Bananas”
Have you ever stopped to think that we may never have actually overcome the “I know everything” teenager mentality we had when we were inexperienced, know it all, smarty pants kids? I sort of think we just learn better ways to harness our thoughts and then reveal them in a more discreet manner. That is,…

Ten Sense
My dad has been gone for over six years. When he passed away I began to find dimes everywhere. They were in drawers, in the washer, in the laundry basket, on the floor and on the ground and I couldn’t help but feel it was some type of sign. I learned, after a bit of…

What I’m “Actually Thinking”
It takes all kinds. These four words came to mind recently when a customer called to explain his tremendous satisfaction with the materials and quality of workmanship he received when allowing me the opportunity to mat and frame a piece of reproduced art from his collection. It had been conveniently rolled and stored away in a…

The Gas Powered Cats
Layer by layer, I slowly prepared myself for our Saturday afternoon snowmobiling adventure. First the daily undergarments were added to my frame. Once in place I scrunched up my pantyhose and slid each one of my legs into those nasty “I now know what baloney feels like” casings. A pair of socks and a pair…

Brisk Steps = Empowering Thoughts
Life is such a fascinating process. If I had a dime for every time I’ve uttered those words I probably wouldn’t be a very rich woman but I’d have a rather enormous pile of dimes. At times I ponder all the amazing moments that have arrived in my life and all the experience I’ve gained…

The Christmas Letter
2015 has been an amazing year for Don and I. Don, the Motor Doctor, as I prefer to call him, traveled around 50,000 miles to work at destinations in Wyoming, Montana, Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota and Texas which kept several hotels in business, no doubt. He’s a very hard worker and incredibly dedicated…
