It’s Never a Straight Line

Hello sweet friend! Here in Texas it’s been so HOT I was afraid to buy pumpkins for the front porch. (Heat + Pumpkin = Stinky Mush!) But it has finally cooled off, so I’ve decorated and it finally looks like Fall around here! 🙂 On another note, have you noticed that the journey to mastery…

Showing Deep Love

Hello my friend! This week I’ve been head down and digging deep to make progress on the gift book/devotional I’m writing. It’s centered around how we can live out the Fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23…love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.) The plan is to get the devotional up and available…

Happiness Through Service

Hi there! I have a quick question for you. Have you noticed that as we get older, it’s easier and easier to focus our attention inward? I mean, my knees ache now more than they ever did. And if I don’t get my 7 hours+ of sleep, my thinking is a little fuzzier. On the…

Just a Little At a Time Makes Progress

Happy Wednesday my friend! I just got back from the gym and am heading down to Houston later this morning. It’s been a whirlwind! Today’s image is a shot from my trip to Atlanta and the MLP (Major League Pickleball) event. I had the BEST time, and I’m so glad I was able to make…

Will You Just Ship It?

I’m sitting at my sister’s kitchen table in Williamson, Georgia right now. It’s a beautiful sunny, cool day and we are having a great time visiting before I head up to Peachtree Corners for the Major League Pickleball Event. (I’m not playing – heehee) but I’m such a super fan, I’m going to be courtside to…

Create Some New Scripts

If it’s not one thing it’s another, so when I got the text from the car dealership that I needed a whole new set of tires ($3,500!!!) for my (new to me in May) car, I had the choice of how to think about that information. I could see this as a disaster, imagine they…

Ready to Try Something New?

Hello my friends! I thought I’d try something new today. It’s been bugging me that my weekly emails have been so visually boring…so I decided to try something new! I’m often stopped in my tracks by trying some new technology. While I wouldn’t call a newsletter template exactly cutting-edge technology, just the thought of trying…

1 Road and 2 Ditches

Sometimes we just need a little help. As I’ve mentioned before, I’ve been working with a few different coaches these days. A life coach (Dr. Edie), a physical trainer, Connor, specializing in Pickleball (coach), a nutritional coach, as well as a professional therapist. This week, my nutrition coach shared with me an illustration that has…

Expectations and Disappointments

It’s back-to-school time and for many of us, it’s “take a kid to college” time too. I see the images coming across my Instagram feed and the stories filtering over my Facebook page. Parents hugging, kissing, laughing, sorting, hauling, setting up (exquisite) dorm rooms, exploring, letting go, laughing some more, and crying. I have 1…

Action Over Fear

This morning in my devotional I read this passage from Esther 4:14: “…And who knows if you have come to this position for such a time as this?” Queen Esther was put into a really bad position. Her husband (the King) did not know she was Jewish. He had been talked into killing all the…

Your Future Self Will Thank You

Per usual, this week is flying by! Only 1 more full week before school starts so we’re focused on getting prepped and ready for the school year. In the midst of all this “life” of course, I’m working on my Pickleball program (​Pickleball Evangelism​) as well as a proposal for my book, “Dink Positive Thoughts,”…

Making New Friends

Early this morning I took my husband to get his left eye “fixed.” His glaucoma (pressure on the eye) had not been responding to his daily drops, and his lens was getting cloudy, so the Doctor recommended he get a new lens and while he was in there, go ahead and get some little, tiny,…
