      In January 2014 this beautiful and very sweet dog was found wandering all over our neighborhood.  He had no collar and was oh so thin.  He was also very shy and would only allow you to get so close and then he would walk away.   A snow storm was to hit our area that evening and I knew that ...

  Today I am starting a new book and this is the one that I chose.  There is always room for growth and improvement and this looks like the perfect book for my own personal development.   Who should read this book? "This book is written for ambitious, determined men and women who want to achieve...

  Last evening I got out an old family recipe and mixed the dough so that my 91 year old mother and I could roll out and bake a few dozen cookies today.   The best part of this entire experience was having my mother join me in the kitchen.  She has to use a walker, so I set up the pastry board, ...

  I have been in the care giving and serving others businesses for all of my career.  I was a nurse for 20 years and have been doing real estate since 1998.   What I have found shocking is how many people care so little for their own well-being.  They put themselves last and really do not take ti...

    We have two Christmas / Thanksgiving cactus that I set outside each spring on our covered patio.  As soon as it starts getting cooler I move them inside to our kitchen.   This one was a new little plant that I transplanted into this pot the fall of 2012.  Look at it now.  Now is the time to p...

  Silent Saturday ... Oh what a beautiful morning / oh what a beautiful day here in Charlotte, NC.   It is a frosty and chilly 33 degrees this morning, but oh so beautiful as the sun rises.   Was outside with the dogs and it is great to see and greet this new day.   Have a wonderful Saturday and...
