What to....Where?

My Daddy used to tell me..."Never let thinking that you "don't have anything to wear" keep you from showing up. Folks might...or might not remember what you wore...but they will remember how good it was to be with you.
Never let an "outfit" be the reason you didn't go." I remind myself of those words all the time. They're Part of the reason I developed my quirky style...I may look mismatched...but I'm here!
Now go put a pin on it and have a great time!

And BINGO was his name-o

Sometimes it feels like even the "free" spot comes with a price. But you know, when things line up...it's a really good feelin'. Here's wishin' you a BINGO kinda day!

Bumpy Ride

I bet there is not a survivor out there who thinks of them self as courageous. 

If you’re like me, it’s just about gittin’ through to the other side of whatever. 

I’m always grateful for the floaters I can grab onto for a bit, but trust me, it doesn’t take much courage to “hang in there”…considerin’ the alternatives.

Cap and Crown

I am blessed to know so many caring women.  I have to say they continue to amaze me.  But I worry too.  It seems most spend so much time taking care of others...that they forget to take care of themselves.  With all the hours in the day...and all the days in the week...all I can ask is that you claim one for yourself. 
Caps off  Sisters!

Life as Laundry

I promise you this...every single day there's gonna be somethin'.  Life's like that.  Like laundry.  Just when you think you're ahead of the game, you look down and there's another pile. 

Shades of Truth

There is a change in the air and in the hue of late afternoon, you should be seeing it now...light changes everything. A tilt of the head and perspective is altered. I was thinking about that when the word truth came to mind. I know how I shade it. I do it to protect...to inspire...to firm a position. Some might disagree, but I find I often do it to keep light flowing around the dark corners.

At a loss for words....

I was talking with a friend the other day and we laughed about how our parents used to tell us, in times of crisis, to just "open the Bible" and read the first verse that we see...the answer will be there. You know...there are some really scary verses in the King James Version of our Bible..and taken out of context...well now, might bring jail time. Everything is open to interpretation I suppose. So we thought...what if we just opened Jules Vern or Robert Louis Stevenson instead. Might there still be answers? How about Little Women...or Valley of the Dolls? But I digress. I haven't tried it yet, but I am about to offer you a challenge if you dare. That being said...because it is Sunday...and because I believe the "word" is all round us...today I found this. I thought it was absolute perfection and just wanted to share.
