Walk Alongside Them
It’s late afternoon/early evening as I clear a space to start this post. The title came to me while driving to a hair appointment, so if you’re ever stuck…take a drive. I’m still haunted by a woman I met over the weekend. She was sitting at a picnic table outside of the local Texaco in…

Faith Like Wildflowers
I’m still enjoying ironing, but I may have become overly ambitious. I bought a pair of cargo pants made from an almost silky fabric, so they’re very flowy, but the pockets…my gosh…caused flashbacks of the red, ruffled shirt mentioned here. I ironed them, but afterwards thought…you might be visiting the cleaners. At this stage of…

I Believe You
In Texas it seems that it has to be windy for the outdoor temp to drop quickly as I laid in bed one night recently and listened to it howl. Just the laying in bed part was huge progress for me because I used to be terrified of strong wind…especially during the night and you’d…

Our True North
I rarely went to Hill Country Water Gardens because it was so far away. Unfortunately, now it only takes 10 minutes to arrive in their parking lot. They open at 11:00 am on Sunday’s and that’s my favorite time to go. My truck pulls into the lot a few minutes before they officially open, but…

Cathedral of Calm
I opened the front door and stood in the doorway, breathing in the remnants of our early morning rain. The thunder didn’t awaken me at 5am…it was Denver standing at the front of the house, whimpering that pulled me from my slumber. A mother’s radar is always on, even with four-legged children. Slipping my feet…

My Life is a Meme
In 2023 I asked God to increase my faith and show me how to trust Him in every aspect of my life. When we pray bold prayers, expect wild things to happen. Random, scary things that disrupt our world. My daughter and I can laugh about it all now, but recently she texted me with,…

Somebody Prayed
I moved the radio from it’s temporary place on the rusted cart, to the top of the vintage armoire. Having it elevated enhances the acoustics and music floats through the house. This song has played every day for weeks, as if it’s haunting me to share. When I first heard it I couldn’t believe it…

The Best Part
I recently published The Seeds of Success, by Og Mandino and yes, it was a little odd to post that here, but there is a method to my madness. When I first learned someone had purchased my previous domain name, Letitgocoach, and pointed it to a porn site, I was angry, but mainly at myself…

That One Thing
You reach a certain age and realize you’ve lived more years than you probably have left, so I’ve been pondering topics such as, purpose, passion, meaningful work and fulfilling relationships, while continually seeking God with, ‘what’s next?’ The other night I sat down and listened to a workshop recording with Joshua Becker and took some…

Do It Afraid
One of the best definitions for courage I’ve heard is: “Courage-Going forward in the face of fear.” To be fearless doesn’t mean the absence of fear, but breaking the word in half reveals it’s true meaning: “Fear Less.” Does the life you’re living give you chills? It should. Next Saturday I’ll be 59 years old…
