Another week has flown by. Thank you for indulging me in my Friday Favorites. I’ve found that it helps me focus on the positive and take note of the happy things that happen during the week. Something good will happen, and I find myself thinking, “Ooh, I need to remember that for Friday Favorites!” The week…
When my daughters were young, they said some pretty amazing things—some of them profound, some of them funny, some of them so sweet they’d melt your heart. I thought I’d remember them forever. A few I did; most I did not. So when the grandchildren started to say things I didn’t want to forget, I…
It’s Friday again! Time to reflect on the good things that happened during the week and share the joy. Of course, the first thing that comes to mind is the fact that I ran the Bear Lake Half, but since I’ve gone on about that ad nauseam, I’ll focus on the fabulous “book ends” to that day….
I did it! I ran the Bear Lake Half-marathon last Saturday—and I can still walk today, so mission accomplished.

The goal then is resiliency, bouncing back after hardship,…
It’s Friday, and you know what that means–Friday Favorites! Thank you Connie for teaching me the joys of light microwave popcorn with olive oil. Tastes better than butter and it’s better for you! Win-win. Thank you Midway Utah for having such a great trail to run, even if it’s all hills. This is…
I have a confession to make. Well, actually I have several. Then I hope you’ll return the favor. I thought it might be a fun way to get to know each other better. They say confession is good for the soul, right? My confessions
Round 2 of Friday Favorites. It has been a wonderful week. Here are some highlights in the form of thank-you notes. Thank you Meghan for the fabulous Girls on the Run nails. And thank you anonymous coworker that brought this delicious sprinkle donut that had the added bonus of matching my nails! Thank you Kanyen for…
You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection. ~Buddha If you spoke to your best friend the way you speak to yourself, would you still be friends? If your best friend says to you, “I screwed up” or “I embarrassed myself,” do you tell her what a loser…
