I can’t tell you how many opportunities I’ve had open up, just to turn those opportunities down. I would listen to my self-talk — “I can’t do that,” or “I don’t have a clue what to do.” Oh, I’ve risen to the challenge on occasion, took the opportunity, walked...

Since I was knee high to a grasshopper, I’ve enjoyed stories and reading. I fell in love with history when I read my first novel, “The Diary of Anne Frank,” when I was 10. A true story which detailed a clear picture of the atrocities during World War II, I was...

Living in rural East Texas, I am used to cattle – big, tough, every color, and every breed you can imagine. After all, this is Texas and it IS cattle country. Then I saw a small herd of sheep on a spread not far from us and I became hooked. Passing this herd of...

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again … I love history, folklore, and true stories. In my infrequent spare time, I enjoy films based on true stories, then love doing some research to find out the facts. This week I watched The Hatfields and McCoys series. I...

I have the dearest hubby in the world. He’s smart, funny, a great cook (thank you, Lord!), and a hard worker. He would give someone the shirt off his back (and has many times). But he also misplaces things … a lot! Hubby reminds me nothing is ever lost, so I’m...
