I share a look back at the past week and what’s inspiring me hoping to encourage you for your week ahead.
After a lot of snow this past week, we’ve got blue bird skies today. It’s getting me very excited for the Spring and Summer ahead.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE WEEKEND
- Our family was spread out this weekend. Only three of us were home, so we headed out for Friday Fish Fry at one of our favorite spots, Northfork Fin and Filet.
- My daughter and I watched the movie to one of our favorite books. We thought they did a good job, but liked the book much better. Have you read or watched Redeeming Love?
- We enjoyed the apple pie I brought home from the pop up pie shop at my store, White Arrows Home, this weekend. There were so many amazing flavors, it was so hard to choose!
Stay Tuned
I’m working on an early Summer table, Memorial Day will be here before we know it. I’ll be sharing it in a blog and Instagram hop with some of my dearest online friends. If you don’t already follow these inspiring ladies, you’ll want to start today.
Encouragement
Yesterday I was having a conversation and I shared one of my favorite quotes. I heard it maybe 20 years ago on Oprah as she interviewed LL Cool J. He was sharing about a conversation with his grandmother and the acronym DDHD which stands for Dreams Don’t Have Deadlines.
We are never too old to start a dream. What’s a dream you’ve been holding on to? What’s one step you can take to move forward toward it? Maybe just sharing it with me will make it real.
- Julie Childs didn’t start cooking until she was 51
- Colonel Sanders started KFC at 65
- Grandma Moses started painting at 76
- Nelson Mandela became President of South Africa at 75
