Not Enough Words

There are not nearly enough descriptive words to describe how colors can change the way I feel.

Delighted.

Awed.

Amazed.

Breathtaking.

Grateful.

Soothed.

Calmed.

Excited.

And colors in flowers, nature, paintings or photographs can lift your spirits and make your day brighter.

Combine it with the right music, and it's amazing what it can do to my mood.

Make a list of what makes you feel encouraged, motivated and uplifted.

Relativity

Relativity Do you have relatives like mine? My perception is that some of the people in my family you probably would label as "unique" just to be kind.  I do, too, but let's face it: sometimes relatives can be embarrassing. You know what? They probably say the same thing about me from time to time, if what my kids say is any indication. There's the relative who thinks they know it all. Got it. Check. There's the relative who really does know it all. Got it. Check. There's the relative who works at trying to sound and act like Barney Fife--you know: the hopeless yokel. Got several of those.

See the Kiamichi River and the lovely rolling hills in Pushmataha County."  That's the ad for my ebook that was written in early 2016.  Click here to check it out . I don't like to sound like an advertisement for tourists--but Antlers is my home town and a very friendly place to visit. If you get a chance, you should visit! *Recently, the town has voted to change the date of the annual Deer Festival to the last weekend of each September, beginning in 2018.

What Inspires Me

What Inspires Me Everyone has something that inspires them. It might be a painting by someone famous. It might be a beautiful piece of classical music. Or a special motivating quote. But you have something that you can hear, see, touch or feel that gives you strength to continue when you are tired or discouraged or just feel like giving up. Well, I'm the same way! There are some things that I feel so deeply about, that move me so much that I can't find the words to express, and many times, I experience them on such an emotional level that I start crying.  I think all of us can feel that same level of emotional connection, we just have to give ourselves permission to be really in the moment. Concentrate on that feeling, let it take you as deeply inward as you can possibly go. Even a quiet moment can be used to focus on what you are feeling and let it move you. But that's just what is happening inside your mind and body. I want to use this site as a resource that...
