Last week at a meeting I was at, a friend shared a story about a woman racing into the restroom after her flight landed at the airport. When she got in there, a woman was cleaning the floors. The passenger greeted her with a friendly "Hello!" and then rushed into the stall to 'take care of business'. While in the stall the cleaning woman shouted over the door, "you are such a nice lady". The … [Read more...] about Week 3 – an I ‘See’ You List
Week 2 ~ Making a Comfort List
Welcome to week two in our 15 week challenge! Tonight I was out walking my dog and it is (finally) a cool Texas night! My family was at the grocery store, so it was me, the dog, and my ipod. I put on a song I hadn't heard before. I guess one of my kids have it on their list, it's called Beautiful Things by Gungor.

“my name is boots”
This week I was blessed to speak at the first meeting of the year for the Women of the Well at Klein United Methodist Church. They asked me to speak on Joyful Living.

Joyful Living must be a popular topic... :) The group had grown into a … [Read more...] about “my name is boots”

School is officially back in session. One full week to be exact. It's funny, I found myself deeply sighing many times this past week. I think I was holding my breath all summer. Just rushing around.

My kids are … [Read more...] about Ahhhhhhhhh.
School ain’t for sissies
Yesterday my kids headed back to school. This year I have a sophomore in high school and an 8th grader. I think it's funny, that even though they are both full grown teenagers, I still get choked up dropping them off on their first day of school. I still remember dropping my daughter off at pre-school and being so nervous. Then after lunch I ran by to peek in the window and check in on her. … [Read more...] about School ain’t for sissies
