When I was growing up, mama used to always say, “It’s right under your nose, Susan!” In our family that always meant that what you are looking for, or what you need to do or say, is so obvious. The other day I had a “right under my nose” moment. I needed help with moving […]
Yes I can!
If you’re like me, and have experienced a life-changing loss, the holiday season could look and feel different to you. You might somehow want to escape all the memories, traditions, and decorations. It’s just too hard, and you’re just too numb to face the pain of what will never be the same again. As many […]
The Hidden Box You May Not Have Unpacked
A friend stopped by our Just Moved office for a visit and during our conversation she said, “I know why I’ve never settled in and feel so disconnected since I moved here. It’s taken me a long time, but I’ve finally figured it out. I’ve never completely unpacked and gotten rid of all the boxes […]
Tempted to ignore God’s nudge. Glad I didn’t!
I will confess. I am not very friendly on an airplane. Those travel hours are my down-time before I step off the plane to give my all to the women where I will be speaking. It is when I switch hats, pray, calm my spirit, and focus my mind and heart. A smile and a […]

Lessons from a wisteria vine
When the beauty of Spring is in full bloom here in Arizona, the flowers I grew up with in the South always come to mind. The beauty of magnolias, dogwoods, roses, azaleas, camellias, and wisterias linger with me over the years. Not only do I remember their loveliness and fragrance, there are also memories associated […]
With every step that I take
Confession time. I’m training to work up to a 5k run with my granddaughter. We will make memories sharing the experience together, laugh a lot, cheer each other on, and take lots of pictures.
