It can be done – whatever your “it” might be. It just takes a little bit of planning, a little bit of effort and a little bit of investment to make it work out. As part of my 8 Week Health and Wellness Challenge, I have been tackling projects around the house and around the […]
It all started with technical issues – which is a LOT funnier than it might sound once you get to know me. One of the reasons I shied away from public speaking was my fear of the squelching mike. The Growing HOPE radio broadcast is almost six months old, but the technical issues still pop […]
It takes an investment to make change. I know that. I experienced that on many occasions. I think that at this moment and time I would just prefer a magic bean or fairy godmother. I intend to be completely honest with you – not that I keep anything from you but more that I have […]
Today my husband humored me as I jumped back into my crafting and DIY days. There was a time when a pile of wood, old tile and paint would have forced me to do something with them. With the passage of time, and the onset of third child, I tucked that side away. It has […]

A person that does not author life will be a victim of that life. I read the words and they made me stop and examine my life. The author talked about how a fish could not be the one that discovered water because water has always been a part of the life of the fish. […]
