You Won’t Believe This

 

You won’t believe what happened this week over sixty years ago. My Mom was in labor in La Paz, Bolivia and Gene, my hubby’s Mom was also in labor but in St. Louis Missouri.

Both moms gave birth. Gene was born 12 hours before me. And how could a girl born in the Andes and a boy born at the shores of the Mississippi River meet and end up married 40 years? I think it’s God’s plan…or maybe His sense of humor!

Humbled Beyond Words

I was honored to be one of the nominees for the Girl Scouts of Citrus 2016 Woman of Distinction Award. The gala event was impressive and the dinner delicious. The MC began announcing the winners and as I was munching on the cookie for dessert, I nearly choked when she called out my name as the winner in the Visionary and Courage category.

I was humbled beyond words with gratitude because the award holds these criteria:

The Visionary Award recognizes the woman with a courageous spirit, imagination, insight and boldness. She is an agent of change who sees the big picture and thinks of others first. She inspires people to achieve higher goals by modeling a clear vision, empowering relationships and supporting innovative actions.

ANNOUNCEMENT

 

In just a few days, on Saturday, September 10, I’ll be one of the speakers at the “La Mujer y Su Significado” conference. Might you know any Spanish-speaking friend who needs inspiration, empowerment, and encouragement? Here is a BRIEF VIDEO in Spanish with details for you to consider sharing with them.

Getting Up Early is a Delight

Kiddoes are back in school. And I remember that sad feeling of summer ending. Back to books, homework, getting up early. Ugh!

But now getting up early is a delight. And the book I’m hooked on shows how to be safe, where to have peace, how to find satisfaction, how to find healing and success.

I learn all that as I “read” the Bible through my headphones. And it’s so sweet to nourish my soul this way.
