Last graduation season, I decided to make gifts instead of buying gifts, and I was crafty!! I was inspired by a little poem on Pinterest, and I thought to myself, “Hmmmm, I could do some editing and add some pretty charms and paper and place these in a shadowbox!” You know what?! It worked! You … Continue reading

Ellen Hopkins
This past year, I’ve had lots of luck with authors (as you will see in future posts). This was the first of many! Maybe God is trying to tell me to finish my book and begin on some short stories?!?! I was able to meet Ellen Hopkins during an appearance where she told all about … Continue reading
Graduate School Ogre
So, I’m still here. Barely. But I’m here. I decided it would be a great idea to take two summer grad school classes not knowing that this would be a full-time job for five weeks, yikes. It was worth it, and I loved the content, but I didn’t realize HOW much time it would suck … Continue reading
Visions of Lovely Weather
I just love the signs of spring and summer approaching. Right now the weather is just perfection. Just the other day, there was a wildflower that had bloomed in my sad-attempt-at-a-flower-bed! Talk about excited! That little booger made me so happy. There are some times where my breath is just taken away by something that … Continue reading
Challenge Update #1
Since I pretty much blabbed to the entire world about my challenge and what brought it all on, I figured I should probably keep you all posted on the progress! 🙂 Today is the 7th day of the 60 day challenge, and so far, I’m on a roll — five classes in seven days! In … Continue reading
Challenge
All my life I’ve struggled with food, weight, food, weight, food, and weight, but mostly weight. I have relatively stayed the same weight since I was a senior in high school. Now, I was not a slender young lady, so don’t go thinking I am a svelte 125 or anything. In the long run, though, … Continue reading
Camel
Camel is a very challenging, yet invigorating yoga pose, and it is a great counter pose to rabbit, which likes to kill me! One evening, quite a while back, we were leaving trivia night at one of the illustrious places in downtown McKinney when this photo was taken. I had just finished teaching a yoga … Continue reading
I’m on a Hammock …
Without my flippy-flops! There’s something magical about days in the mid-70s with a mild breeze. Although I was pretty busy over spring break, I did decide to take me time. I love to feel the sun (with SPF on) on my skin and feel God’s breath blow the hammock gently. I felt like I was … Continue reading
Yoga Siri
Tonight I was at Fire class at Sunstone Yoga, which is basically Bikram Yoga (aka Hot Yoga), and I was OFF my game. In fact, I was nowhere near the game. I couldn’t have spelled game tonight if I tried. Usually, I wouldn’t be disappointed or concerned … I would just accept where by body … Continue reading
Beauty through Butterflies
Last summer I decided to grow some flowers, or should I say I hoped they would grow. I wish I had a green thumb! Anywho, I had some that actually did take! I think they are zinnias, but I could be wrong. I thought that would be the icing on the cake, but no! The … Continue reading
