And She Scores! (Great Shopping Deals)


In the last post, I told you about what a fun girl’s weekend I had!

This, is the rest of the story:

What did I do?

I shopped!

This blog comes to you live from Girl’s Weekend!

Reminders of Love, Faith and Gratefulness


I happened upon a Facebook post of one of my friends just now.

I want to thank Sue for sharing it with her family and friends.

As you’ll read in the link below, she and her husband took our town with them on a journey of love, heartbreak, and faith.

Their son Sasha was the gift that God gave us all so that we could see thatΒ beauty can shine through even during sadness.

This post was written just over 2 years ago.

It’s definitelyΒ my favorite post on faith, and probably the most heartfelt posts that I’ve ever written.

Without further ado, click on the link below…
