Things aren’t always what they seem.
Made any assumptions lately? At first glance did you assume the picture on the left was some kind of browned, ground meat? It may look like it, but it’s not. What had happened was…… For some strange reason, lack of sleep causes recipe failure, even tested and repeatedly used recipes….at least for me. My […]
Super Hero Mindset: Optimistic
Optimistic: A super hero is a humming bird, one that looks for the sweetness in the world and expects that. The visionary sees a positive future, one where evil is conquered or destroyed. Enthusiasm for what is to come energizes the mindset for success. If a brighter tomorrow is not expected, why get up, why work […]
Handles for Life:Pruned if you do, and pruned if you don’t!
Time for another handle to help get a grip on life. Spring is here (mostly) which brings to mind all those who are working in the yard. So much care goes into getting plants to grow and flourish. What’s that got to do with living life? Today’s Handle: Pruned if you do, pruned if you […]
One-Fourth Vanished
Another new month is upon us. One-fourth of the year is gone with three-fourths remaining. How are your goals and dreams for this new year shaping up? Are you still focused on the end? How are you staying on task? Maybe you aren’t still on task. It’s not too late! There are nine more months […]
Handles for Life: Everything’s Figure-out-able
Do it by the book? What if you haven’t read the book? Have you ever been tempted to say, “it would be so much easier to give up and just quit” or “this is too hard?” I was almost there while working on an excel spreadsheet. Deep into the night/early morning, with the little knowledge […]

Handles for Life:Living Sacrifice
Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice,acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.

Super Hero Mindset: Conscientious
If a super hero says he will do something, you can count on his following through. He will keep his promise. A hero is true to his word (aka, dependable), his word is his honor. What does this look like with a mindset for success? If a plan of action is proclaimed, heaven and earth […]
Handles for Life: Deal with it
Another helpful saying to make it through life. This one is from a woman’s point of view but applies the same for men. Only, men might say, as my football coaching son-in-law would say, “Buck up!” Same difference. Today’s Handle: Put on your big girl panties and deal with it. Today’s Thought: Is life easy? […]
Super Hero Mindset: Future thinking
Dead is the super hero who continually reminds himself of things that didn’t go as planned, looking behind himself. He will most likely fall into the trap set in front of him. How can he see upcoming barriers if he is walking backwards? He becomes an easy target for any nemesis. It is too easy […]
