Happy New Year, everyone! I wanted to share a few sentences from Melody Beattie’s Journey to the Heart with you. This is one of my favorite books. It’s subtitled Daily Meditations on the Path to Freeing Your Soul. Each day contains a short, well-written, thoughtful message to contemplate. I love it and highly recommend it. Here… Continue reading Honor the Beginning

Those of us who have spent the first half of our lives achieving and… Continue reading Who We Are and Why We’re Here

I would pride myself on selecting just the right hand crafted papers from boutique gift shops the likes of Kuhl-Linscomb and Events here in Houston. I would pair them with fabric ribbons – never those store-bought, pre-made bows! – to complement our… Continue reading What matters.
A couple of weeks ago, God gave me Mary. Just who I needed, precisely when I needed her. Going into her Forrest yoga class, I was a little anxious, not knowing what to expect. A girlfriend with whom I occasionally do hot yoga told me it was her absolute favorite class. But this friend has… Continue reading Coincidences are Unicorns
