Journey

Good Morning Everyone! A beautiful new day is underway. Life is a journey down an unknown road filled with twist, turns, joy and laughter. The road is not always clear, but I believe that I have to live with a loving and caring heart and have faith that I was placed here at this time for a reason. Treasure each day. Fill your heart with joy and laughter. Turn up the music and do a little dance down the road of life. Share your heart 💓 and Shine Bright.

Beauty

Good Morning Everyone! Another beautiful day is underway. My capture is from our visit to the Lavender Field which was located next to a winery. The stunning view of Mount Adams across the vineyard took my breath away. We are all blessed to have such beauty surrounding us each day. We only have to slow down and open our hearts and minds. Be God’s messengers of faith, hope and love. Share Your Heart ❤️ And Shine Bright.

Adventures

Good Morning Everyone! A beautiful new day is underway. A new work week begins, but we did have a great adventure yesterday. A trip to the Golumbia Gorge Discovery Center and Museum filled our heads with knowledge of the area and hardships of the trip West. We were delighted to see a Red Tail Hawk in the rapture exhibit. On the trip home, we stopped at the Lavender Field Festival. It was a good day, but we were both glad to be back home and put our feet up. Hold your families close. They grow and change in a blink of an eye. Little ones become women and men ready to set out on their own journey. Make beautiful memories today. Share Your Heart ❤️ And Shine Bright.

Family

Good Morning Everyone! A beautiful new day is underway. Blue skies, sunshine and 54 degrees this morning. The birds are chattering in the trees and a light breeze rustles the bushes. God’s beautiful new day is unfolding. Yesterday we had brunch and visited with friends. Today’s adventure has yet to be determined. We are taking each day as it comes and enjoying visiting and laughter. The house is once again filled with the sounds of family. Life is good. Share Your Heart ❤️ And Shine Bright.

Adventures

Good Morning Everyone! A beautiful new day is underway. It felt good to sleep in after a full day of adventures. We explored four thrift shops, Dollar Tree and had lunch at a Sushi Train. A multitude of different types of Sushi went throughout the restaurant on a conveyor belt and you selected your favorites. It was a new experience for Chance and I. We did find a few treasures we needed. The best part of the day was spending time together and letting my friend get to know my grandson. Life is meant to be shared. Share Your Heart ❤️ And Shine Bright.

Memories

Good Morning Everyone! A beautiful new day is underway. Chance and I are heading to Portland with a friend who knows her way around the thrift shops. It should be a day filled with laughter, found treasures and new discoveries. Having a friend to go on adventures is wonderful, but spending time with my grandson is priceless. Make beautiful new memories today. Share Your Heart ❤️ And Shine Bright.

Perfectly Imperfect

Good Morning Everyone! A beautiful new day is underway. God has chosen to awaken me to share and shine. We all have a purpose in life and God’s plan. We don’t always know what that purpose is, but I know that He made us all to be exactly who we are. We all have flaws, imperfections and things we don’t like about ourselves, but we are perfect in His sight. Go out and be the perfectly imperfect magnificent creation of God. You are loved. Share Your Heart ❤️ And Shine Bright.

Good Morning Everyone! A beautiful new day is underway. My capture is of the sunset last night. There was a glorious display of color in the heavens reminding us that we are loved. This beautiful world of ours was crafted with love. We are only passing through on our journey home. Leave this world a better place than when you arrived. Spread kindness, compassion, understanding and respect. Enjoy the journey and all that life has to offer. Share Your Heart ❤️ And Shine Bright

Memories

Good Morning Everyone! A beautiful new day is underway. It feels good to step outside and not feel like I am baking in the oven like a plump turkey. I love my Southern home, but it sure is hot this time of year. July is flying past and soon it will be Christmas. I remember having to start layaway soon so we were prepared for the holidays. Good memories fill my head as I think of all the summers and holidays spent with family. Enjoy life. Visit friends, family and neighbors. Reach out to those in need. Make beautiful memories to last a lifetime. Share Your Heart ❤️ And Shine Bright.

Blessed

Good Morning Everyone! A beautiful new day is underway. Thirty-nine years ago today, God blessed me with a precious gift of pure joy. He has brought joy and laughter throughout his life to all he meets. A prankster child grew into a loving, compassionate man who loves his family and still pulls pranks. His ideas and values have helped me change from a world that separated people to one that sees that we are all God’s children. He keeps me laughing and continues to fill my world with joy. Happy Birthday, Stephen. I am proud of the man you have become and blessed to have you in my life. Share Your Heart ❤and Shine Bright.
