When raising children the ‘experts’ say constantly, “Be consistent”. Once you have a rule, abide by that rule. Problems occur when one day it’s this rule, the next day that rule is changed, and the next day the rule is diffferent yet again. This is something many struggle with while trying to raise children. But,Continue reading “Courage to Be Consistent”

Courage to Get Over Quarantine Blues
We all went through it. It is something unprecedented, something literally everyone in the world experienced. I remember seeing the canals of Venice so clear you could see the bottom; pictures of families having church in their living rooms; missionaries from around the world were brought home by the plane full; families put stuffed animalsContinue reading “Courage to Get Over Quarantine Blues”
Shein, Walmart, Macy’s, Designer, What’s the Better Deal!
My daughter introduced me to Shein. It is a clothing company based in China, and the clothes are inexpensive, very inexpensive. As far as quality, it is hit or miss. I have a denim vest and a denim jacket that both are well designed and constructed.

Courage to Know Religion
I read a post on Facebook today that made me sad. The question had to do with religion in one’s life and 99% of the comments were negative and how horrible religion is, how it controls your life, how it is made by man, how it is not needed, and the comments went on andContinue reading “Courage to Know Religion”

I see ridiculous Fashion Shows from top designers–one in particular had the models in flesh colored cat suit leotards while the “clothes” were on a device attached to the model but ‘walking’ in front of them, some upside down, some sideways.

Oh my goodness! My friend, Dwight Constable, makeup artist extraordinaire, called me a while ago and said, “I’m starting my own skin care line!” Hmmm, makeup artist starts his own skin care line, shouldn’t that be he started a makeup line?

Duluth Trading for Women
What?! The beaver proof clothing has women’s clothing?? Yes, it does. It reminds me of L. L. Bean, however a bit more fashionable. Did I say fashionable? It is basically very classic styling with a hint of up to date thrown in. I got a basic cotton shirt, a scarf, and a pair of careerContinue reading “Duluth Trading for Women”
