My Goals: IN ONE YEAR Learn to EAT, PRAY, LOVE ... My Way*


1) Find Health and Strength for Me and my Family (Physically, Emotionally, and Spiritually).

2) Have a Love Affair and Long-Lasting Friendship with my EC (Eternal Companion).

3) Be Available for My Children through their Triumphs and their Trials.


*As I followed Elizabeth Gilbert's journey through "Eat, Pray, Love" and now as you follow me on my journey, perhaps a world of possibilities will open up for you too. Where do you want to go? Who do you want to be? Me? I'd just like to learn to be my loving, happy self and live long and healthy enough to enjoy the outcome. And you? I encourage you to challenge yourself. What would you like to do next? What direction are you going? Our talents and uniqueness bless our world ... and someone is always watching, always following in our footsteps. My prayer is that our footsteps may always be worth following.

2 Days to Go ~ I Love that Man of Mine!



I am in love! My husband and EC (Eternal Companion) is named Mark. He is my partner, counselor and friend. We help each other with projects and life. He strengthens me and I strengthen him. We go to yoga together, we have lunch together, we go for walks together. We love each other and it shows in our countenances every day. 

As there are only 2 days left until our 5th Anniversary we are amazed to look back at the journey we have been on! We have laughed and cried, created and destroyed, repaired and endured. We have remodeled our house, painted and reroofed it, cleared out our backyard, helped three children marry, received four grandchildren with two on the way, sent a son on a two-year mission for our church to Paraguay and received two other sons home from missions (one to Paraguay, one to Guatemala). We have helped a grown daughter and her husband move to Idaho with their young daughter, helped another daughter through her divorce, and sent another daughter off to college in Texas. During all of that we have have six major surgeries in our house. Change has been our constant companion. We have worked together for good during my illness and we are actually making sense of it and application for the future. We have served ourselves and others. We have grown as our children have grown.

That's five years for the record books in our house! We have succeeded! Mark, I love you forever and always. Thank you for all you are and all you do. Thanks for always being yourself and teaching me how to be okay just being me.

I Love that Man of Mine!
