2 NFL FB players and me

A while back I was honored to speak at a youth symposium about pursuing goals and chasing dreams while maintaining a grounded and faith-based life. Bryan Kehl and Bart Oates were asked to speak and I somehow ended up as third on the list (because maybe a more accomplished woman was busy that night?!) Both Bart and Bryan are very articulate, extremely dedicated to their goals, faith & family and have a gift for connecting with people. That night reminded me of who I am at my core and the rare and special ability public-figures, athletes and artists have to influence others lives for good. It is a hope of mine that I might use my talents to inspire others to look deep inside, love what they see, and go for it!

When Old Becomes New.
I’m a very big proponent of sifting through your closet and clearing out/giving away what you haven’t worn in the last year. But there are exceptions. I pulled out these fabulous orange pants today from the back of my dresser. I haven’t worn them in two years or so. But I keep them for special [...] […]
the MAK HATTER: “Have You Lost Your Muchness?”
If you’ve spent time with me throughout the seasons (especially the chilly months,) you’ll know I have a thing for hats. I also have a particular fondness for the Mad Hatter character in “Alice in Wonderland.” Perhaps it’s our similar likeness for head coverings. Or maybe the casting of Tim Burton’s rendition starring Johnny Depp [...] […]
Close Encounter of Another Kind.
May the one not suffocate the other and may the other not make the one go mad. ..I am no expert on relationships but I am in an on-going work-study program called MARRIAGE. I experience a rainbow of emotions toward my husband on a daily basis. These feelings range from the muddiest green also known as [...] […]
