Who ever said that marriage was easy… Lied.
It’s dang hard work – but oh so worth fighting for.
Henry Ford summed it up pretty good when he said:
“Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.”
I believe that Marriage is an Adventure… and I’m happy to say that I made it official & signed up and for a crazy roller-coaster of an adventure 26 years ago today on November 26th,1988. [Read more…]
Do you work from home – and if you do – do you enjoy it?
I’ve been working from home for a few years now, and my husband has been working from home even longer. It’s almost like we’ve come full circle, other than we don’t have any employees working out of our home (like we did in the beginning), and our working environments are definitely different. 
Let me share a little of our history so you can understand my comment of coming full circle – hang in there – I’ll try to keep it short…

There comes a point in time — in life actually — when you mysteriously slip out of the fast lane, to side step – back step – or two-step, to pause and take a good look around at your surroundings. 
When this happens – embrace it. Take a deep breath (or two) and pause – just be still. Take time to ponder & reflect… to question yourself about life – to dig deep & ask the tough questions… “What empowering lessons have I learned thus far in my life?”
You may surprise yourself with the list of lessons you’ve earned already (no this is not a typo). Just think… there’s more than meets the eye, to this lesson learning thing and the teachings of them too. [Read more…]
Everyday we’re given the opportunity to make our own choices – we get to choose how our day will unfold.
And although each day may not turn out to be as good as we’d hoped or planned, we must must remind ourselves to stay positive, because when we look close enough we’ll find that there’s something good in every day.
How you look at it is your choice…
“The clock is running. Make the most of today. Time waits for no man. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That’s why it is called the present.”

What do you choose…
Care to Share?
Have you ever read something that made you smile and think to yourself…
“Yup – that’s me to a T”?
It’s happened to me too…
You know what I’m talking about don’t you?
All too often I can relate with the message myself and other times I catch myself picturing someone else and how the message relates to them.
Typically I review oodles of quotes daily, looking for passages to share socially.
And today was no different in that respect.
Oddly though, one of the quotes that I stumbled upon today (which I know I’ve read many times before) made me stop dead in my tracks of quote surfing… and I thought to myself – REALLY?
