encouragement link up and a snow day
Now you know I couldn't pass up on the "2014 Southern Winter Snow storm/Blizzard/Ice storm" bandwagon right!? Lol! Seriously, hope none of you got stuck, stranded or grounded like so many I know in the Atlanta area...horror stories!


We South Carolinians had it pretty good though. Our snow didn't arrive until around 8 or 9pm Tuesday evening. But we had to wait until morning to get a good look at it and boy was it beautiful! What I love about the snow here in the south as opposed to snow in the north(where I lived for about 8 years AND I don't miss

Mastering YOU Monday...lessons I've learned


lessons learned using Godly wisdom throughout my marriage
As some of you may know, my husband and I just celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary! If you asked me 25 years ago where I would be today…I couldn’t promise you I’d be here.  Why? Because our marriage was definitely NOT the conventional one! 


You see, I met my husband on Oct 14, 1988, the first month really didn’t count(because, as he puts it, I detested him), lol. However, I  have a different opinion!

When they hit, like the water in the throat of a drowning swimmer out in the waters wailing for his life…we can do one of two things.

Mastering YOU Monday...try not to break

mastering life by making adjustments and being flexible
Welcome back to our first “Mastering YOU Monday” of 2014! Okay, what better way to start off the new year than to start it off fresh and new. I’ve been seeing all over the bloggersphere the “One Word for 2014” prompt. At first, I wasn’t going to participate, but I was inspired by my blogging friend Joi to do so. I’m a little late to the game, but I came nonetheless! So what is my word for 2014 you ask? Flexible!! Yes, flexible! 


So here’s my “transparency” moment.

Today my husband and I are celebrating our 25th(Silver) wedding anniversary...a way to start off the new year! Whoop whoop! Okay, for all of you who thought you were coming over here to read some mushy lovey-dovey 25th Anniversary post about how much I love and adore my husband, sorry, you won’t get that on this go around! Mind you, I absolutely love and adore my husband, but I thought I’d go against the grain for our 25th Wedding Anniversary(that’s just the kind of gal I am)! :-)
