The Art of Turning Sour into Sweet

July 20, 2017

I stood in the middle of the candy aisle contemplating the merits of a duo of delicate dark chocolate almond butter cups. The alternative: my go-to plain dark chocolate bars. In a 10-pack. The plan was to sweeten my sour mood with chocolate. But given my stranded status, quantity won over quality. I wheeled the … More The Art of Turning Sour into Sweet

Washington Hogwallop: [chewing and choosing words carefully as his … More The Answer for When You Want to Run Away

The Lost Art of Sunday Dinner

April 13, 2017

It’s Sunday morning circa 1987 and I can see my Grandma Rue, standing at the stove in a flowered smock dolloping hush puppy batter into hot oil. Other simmering pots hold collards and a picnic shoulder, green beans, butter beans and potatoes. On some visits, mom goes with Granddaddy to church. Growing up in tobacco territory, my … More The Lost Art of Sunday Dinner

How to Own the Business of Being You

August 18, 2016

Planted just near the end of my evening stroll with a wide board walk stoop and tin roof stands an old nameless building. In a former life it may have served as a gas station given it’s wide bay door off to the side but driving by now, one would hardly find it a refreshing oasis on … More How to Own the Business of Being You

“Your healing will come right on time” were the words I  texted to a friend this morning in her season of hurry up and wait. #mindsetmatters #chooselife #inspirationalwords #motivationalquotes #motivation #motivational #truthbomb #mindsetcoach #healingjourney #quoteoftheday #christiancoaching #faithbasedhealth Life or death? Blessings or curses? Faith or fear? Just another rockin' Friday night over here... reading, writing and being very still after a long week! Are you feeling like a hot mess tonight? I love a good HGTV before and after show. I even fancied myself a DIYer long before the network started when I bought my own fixer upper as a newly divorced gal and ambitiously decided to rip out all the carpet, paint all the rooms and redo the bathroom. Unpopular opinion alert: I prefer the mountains to the beach. Even though we've officially entered beach season, I long for a good hike with a great view. Class of 1998... and class of 2001...and 2022!! If you're wondering about my home decor preference I am all about transformation and reinvention (which is probably why I love life coaching so much 😁)
