Celebrating Spring, Celebrating Friendship

March 11, 2010 – 6:31 pm

Spring blossomsSpring has ‘Sprung’ – at least in this girlfriend’s world!

It’s still Winter in my previous home state of Minnesota. I talked with my girlfriend Patty this week and they still have a blanket of the ‘white stuff’ which may be around for weeks.

I remember those Minnesota winters. For a girl from the South and Mid-west, the bitter temperatures were unbearable. (Hence the move to Ohio!) The seemingly endless season of snow and bitter cold challenged my sanity. And I remember wondering how any plantlife could survive the freeze that reached inches, if not feet, down deep into the ground.

But every Spring, it never failed, Read More »

HOPE Sings – Share the song with a friend

March 11, 2010 – 12:02 pm

Beautiful Bird - Wikipedia

“HOPE is a thing with feathers, that perches in the soul & sings the tune without words & never stops at all.”

Emily Dickinson

One of my first trips with my husband included a drive across Texas. It was a sunny, memorable day as a beautiful bird floated gracefully above the road ahead of us. Down the road, another bird graced us with her ‘air show’ and hence, we began noticing the aerial ‘angels’ watching over us. To this day, we still notice when birds seem to watch ahead for us and often point up and say, “There’s our friend.

HOPE is that kind of friend. Out of the blue it can Read More »

Women: Finding Yourself, Girlfriend Daily Inspiration

March 10, 2010 – 2:34 pm

Mom and daughter“You never find yourself until you face the truth.”

Pearl Bailey

I love my friend Judi. She is smart, very sassy, funny and always there for me. She’s beautiful, inside and out. But you might not know that from her photo on her social media bios. I don’t know if she is waiting to lose weight or get a new hair style, if she wants professional make-up or a magic wand of some sort. (And, to be honest, she doesn’t need any of the above!)

She’s much prettier than she was 10+ years ago when her photo was taken. Sure, she Read More »

Women: Your Goal …. Daily Inspiration

March 9, 2010 – 2:08 pm

Women at a partyThe goal must not be to find a job, but to become a magnificent woman.”

Marianne Williamson

What’s the first thing most people ask when they meet at a party? Not … Are you a nice person? What makes you smile? Or … Who gave you the best hug you’ve ever had?

No. It’s usually: What do you do for a living? What’s your JOB? But does the title of your job actually define you? Does it give insight into who you really are? Does it tell me what makes you happy or what your dreams are?

If you’re doing what you love and it is meeting your passions, you go girl! But sometimes we struggle with what we want our legacy to be, our life calling, our answer to questions from strangers at parties.

Shouldn’t our goal in life just be Read More »

Flowers“Life is what we make it, always has been, always will be.”

Grandma Moses

This isn’t necessarily a ‘happy’ story but hopefully you’ll stick with it to see the message …

My dear friend Becky’s husband was diagnosed with a rare, aggressive and terminal cancer last Spring. They made the best of it with a trip to Europe and an amazing closeness and peace that they shared. (You can read more on this blog post and their blog. Becky gave me permission to share her story.)

Their approach was ‘live full, die empty’ and they did just that. With Becky, Read More »
