The prompt this week is: GUIDE, GO! 

My husband, Jonathan, and I took dancing lessons as a present to ourselves for our 20th wedding anniversary (8 years ago) and as a favor to a friend. Little did we know that we would love dancing so much! It is a great way to get some exercise and meet new friends. However, the underlying . . .

Keep Calm and ....

Write 31 Days Challenge - Day 11

I enjoy reading the "Keep Calm and..." graphics on social media. Some are funny, some are serious. 

I was chatting with my daughter the other day and she asked if I knew what the original "keep calm..." was and I did not. She shared that it was "Keep Calm and Carry On." So, I googled that phrase and here is what I found on Wikipedia . . .

Remember

Write 31 Days Challenge - Day 7

Remember  means to call to mind, to think of again. A few months ago I wrote in my journal in response to a blog by Bonnie Gray. The question was, "What is Jesus whispering you to remember?"

Write 31 Days - Day 6

 

rearview mirror

I have discovered that I have a bad habit...as I come to a stop, or a yield, I look in the rearview mirror and if someone is going a little too fast for my taste, I pray...please don't hit me, Jesus be my rear guard.
