Follow-Up: I Found Magic!

Posted on August 27, 2014 by Karen Molenaar Terrell

In this morning’s post I invited everyone to join me in finding the magic hidden in the day – and look what I found! – red bark glowing on a tree; a sweet pea peeking out of the pines; I got into conversation with a woman, Flora Lucatero, who is a fitness expert with AdvoCare, and discovered that her dad is good friends with my husband!; and as I was waiting to get my hair done, Daniel, one of the massage therapists, came out to offer me a free hand massage. I said yes. 🙂

Isn’t It Great to be Alive?!

Posted on August 25, 2014 by Karen Molenaar Terrell

Think back on the last five years of your life, my friend. Think of all you would have missed if you’d given up on life then – the new friends you never would have known; the sunrises and sunsets you wouldn’t have seen; the lessons you wouldn’t have learned, and the changes you wouldn’t have been able to make; the pictures never painted; songs never sung; all the love and laughter you would have denied yourself… isn’t it great to be alive?!

That IS Life!

Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans – John Lennon

I use to think if I could just get through this appointment, and that meeting, and the scheduled event I could get on with living my life – and then it hit me – WHOAH – that stuff IS my life! I know. Duh, right?
