Hey my Sweet Lifers! Well, it’s hard to believe but the studio is celebrating it’s 25th year this month! Kinda crazy right?! I thought so too, but when I look back on everything we have captured it all started to seem very real. The years have flown by and my littles are either all...
Hey my Sweet Lifers! First of this year I was scrolling my social feed and a painting struck my eye. It was done by an artist who I have admired and am friends with and something about it spoke immediately to me. Something that can be interpreted as a feeling that it must be...
Hey my Sweet Lifers! I must say it does feel a bit strange finding oneself playing bridge in the middle of an afternoon on a weekday. Most people give me a look when I say I am busy on this particular day and then tell them why. They then proceed to say things that...
The day my Nana died was a good day as ever there could be… she lived to 102 and was as they say “done.” A few hours earlier I had been summoned by sister to get here quickly… but in reality she wasn’t going anywhere .. that is until I arrived. She was a...
Living The Sweet Life: Dear my Forever Best Friend…. We all have friends. Some of them are always there whilst others tend to shrink into the backgrounds of our lives when things are going a bit rough. We all know who “those” friends are. It’s not often that you run across people that...
The month on March will be a great one this year…even on the 28th day. For that day will mark the anniversary of my mother’s death. For the first time in my 41 years living without her it won’t seem sad. I found...
My dear friends…promise me that during this lovely new year you will spend time with some “old folks” and little children. For it is with their company that you will gain the most knowledge concerning living a sweet and fulfilled life! Perhaps I know this having been raised by “old folks” and perhaps I...
Have you noticed how different a text or email is from an actual call or face to face conversation? Lately I have been especially keen to pay attention and try to add a nuance or three so that my communication is not misread or worse still misinterpreted! I am always cheerful when I meet...
So recently I was visiting with some friends and the conversation turned to how much do you love yourself? Most of us do not love ourselves like we should. The amount of time we spend in our negative thought patterns really does effect our relationship with others and most importantly ourselves. Our thoughts...
This Harvey thing has been a real eye opener about humanity. We have as a society been caught up fighting over politics and dumb stuff and then along came a storm and washed us. Nothing is more important than survival and when that is threatened we stick up for each other and we...
How’s your Facebook lately? Been checking in on your Instagram? Has it just been my feeds or have you also realized that all those sites are starting to blend together and much of what is on there is nothing more than a place for our friends and family to show off? There are...
Friendship Booklets My Nana used to tell me that I would be lucky if I could count all my friends on one hand. That was true in middle school and college but as years have gone by and I have grown older, I have had and still have more friends than I can count...
How are your relationships? Did you know that more than anything else in our lives it is our relationships that will dictate for each of us how happy we are in life? Yes, my friends… the people that we are connected to actually have more of an impact on our overall health that our...
Lent comes each year and I spend those weeks, as so many of us do, fasting from some things that I like coupled with reflecting on my life; contemplating what I can improve both spiritually and physically. After all of that time in a reflective state, my mind looks joyfully towards a time to...
You need to go outside… do it now and once more before the sun sets this day. Take a DEEP breath and look up into the clouds and watch them for a solid 10… do it… do it right now. Cloud surfing is so easy and should be done each week to clear the...

Well I’m gonna miss her. For five years she has been a faithful companion and has delivered when asked each and every time exactly what I wanted. Through the surf in Galveston ….in the heat of our most humid days in my yard and she’s even taken one for the team once or...
