Right Now Monday, Love Will (The Power of Love)
Right Now, this Monday . . . I feel the Power of Love. The Power of Love is an incredible thing. I recently was thinking about all the ways people have loved us through our challenges the last couple years. I was pondering and asking how I’ve loved others. Then I began to think about the ‘Power of Love‘. Yes, those of you in my generation probably hear Huey Lewis singing the words . . . the Power of Love. As seen on YouTube here. But seriously, I was thinking about how someone knowing they are truly loved, it can change a life. An action, (not just words), can move someone…

Right Now Monday – Be True to You
Right Now, Today, This Monday . . . Right Now . . . today, I am focusing on the importance of caring for myself and being true to me. So often, we think that caring for ourselves is selfish. Well, it’s not. We need to care for ourselves so that we in turn can be better friends, parents, employees, spouses . . . whatever role we fill. We aren’t of any help to others around us if we aren’t healthy. I’m speaking to myself here but possibly it will be something that speaks to your heart. Right Now, taking care of and being true to myself involves; Set safe and healthy boundaries.…

Treasures ~ In Life and Found at the Lovely Vintage Marketplace
I hope you enjoyed the video and coming on a little field trip of vintage bliss with me. If you missed that you can see more here. With all the hardwork that Rita, Christy and all the vendors do to provide such a lovely experience . . . I wanted to just give a little lovely to say thank you for all she does but most important for who she is. I had earned some money from a bracelet I created/sold as well as some ‘magazine publication’ funds. I was on a budget but oh the lovely steals I found. To those vintage labels I’ll be adding a tag that reads…

A Day of Beauty and Friendship * Vintage Marketplace Tour
Hello dear ones, I believe you’ve seen me share here about a very talented and sweet friend Rita Reade. Rita and Christy Repasy began the Vintage Marketplace several years ago and I’ve had the pleasure of seeing it grow. It used to be a part of a Barn Sale hop at Christy’s house and then it moved to Rainbow. These grounds turn into a bit of vintage heaven. Rita, Christy (who organize the event) and the vendors share their unique goods, gifts, talents, time and sweet personalities. They are a beautiful group. Rita is a dear and talented lady! She is sweet, thoughtful and vibrant and I’m grateful to know…

Right Now Monday: Be Kind to Unkind People, They Need It The Most
Wow . . . I read this statement earlier in the week and didn’t know it would ring so true. It was posted (and then reposted) by a radio station. It especially made sense when I had an experience (and opportunity) to be kind to an unkind person. If you don’t mind reading for a moment . . . one of you may need to hear what came to mind as I experienced a very angry and unkind individual. But this presented an opportunity. I was headed to meet my daughter and mom. I entered a very busy shopping center and found an individual that was getting ready to leave. I…

Throwback Thursday – Amazing Grace
It’s so popular right now to see folks post older photos of themselves or loved ones. Several folks call it, “Throwback Thursday’. Well, I’d like to share Throwback Thursdays with you as well but in a different context. I have kept an on-line journal for many years now. Recently, (July 2014) Go Daddy changed their blog hosting company from Blogcast to WordPress. That’s fine and dandy however we never got ‘the memo’ and had no preparation. One day, my blog was gone. Thank goodness a few weeks back I was prompted to print out several posts I wanted to keep. As I shared my journey through breast cancer last year…
