Hello, Monday. Today I want to talk about New Chapters. School starts this week for us in parts of Arizona. Lots of changes are beginning for me and my family. It’s really the beginning of a new chapter for us. And I have to say, I’m not a big fan of change. I am seriously […]

Hello to another Monday. I just got back from a glorious (2 week) vacation in Southern California. It couldn’t have come at a better time. I spent a lot of time near the beach and enjoyed every minute of it. Now, back to real life…I think of all the items on my to-do list, and […]

To celebrate my youngest sister’s birthday, we met in California for some cool weather and fun. One night, we rented “Life of Pi” and she loved the interesting story. Have you seen this movie or read the book? I read the book many years ago, and I thought the movie was quite fun to watch. […]

Happy Monday. I was inspired this weekend! And it caused me to remember a coach who would tell me to take a leap of faith. He says you don’t need to see all the steps in front of you, you only have to take the FIRST step and the step stones will appear. That takes […]

Hello to a fresh new Monday! This week is going to be a great one. I’d like to share gratitude for people in my life who have been there for me. I really believe that we are here to help each other. To mourn with those who mourn, and comfort those who need comforting; to […]

Happy Monday! I can’t believe it’s Monday already again. I have had the BEST weekend with my nephews who are down visiting from Utah. We had a birthday party for my 8-year-old nephew whose birthday is just a week before mine. This Dose of Sunshine comes directly from my watercolor practice book. It’s a favorite […]
