For this I am Grateful
Sweat is pouring down my face and my shirt is soaking wet. I am out of breath on my Peloton working harder than I thought that I ever would have been able to. I smile as I look at the words that I had written a little over a year ago on the mirror in […]

You never know…
The sun was shining. It was one of those “not one cloud in the sky” days. We just finished a semi-long but very challenging hike up Cathedral Rock and then down to the river off off the Templeton Trail. We sat on a large rock by the water and ate salami sandwich rollups I made […]

Second Wind
Whenever I start to hike, roughly for the first half of it, I kind of drag ass. I know…SHOCKING for someone who loves to hike so much! I don’t know why this happens, it is just a struggle. I don’t quite “feel” like putting forth the effort that it is going to take to complete […]

Doubt and Trust
We have these 2 sculptures in our house that we picked up in Jerome, AZ that were made by a Christian artist. The second I saw them, I fell in love with what they represented. The first one is of a man sitting a huge rock. He is blindfolded and holding a large rock in […]

Want to succeed in business? Show some class.
I saw this meme a few days go and saved it, like I do to many that speak to me in one way or the other. When I read it, it made me laugh because this is something I talk about a lot. Someone’s gotta say it. Where did our “class” go? In that same […]

46
Yesterday, I woke up and looked in the mirror. I noticed some wrinkles that I could swear popped up over night and a random very long gray eyebrow hair that I am very certain was not there last night before I went to bed. It is still a mystery how a gray hair can grow […]

Self Worth
We see ourselves as broken. Not good enough. Too tired or too fat. Too skinny or not smart enough. Unforgivable. Too much baggage. We think that someone can’t possibly love us because of….whatever! So what do we do? We settle. We settle for the mundane job…the unfulfilling and not-so-right relationship. We acquiesce in mediocrity and […]

Don't be THAT Person!
Last night, I was driving home and I witnessed a car desperately and hurriedly trying to get around the other cars in traffic. The people around him took it upon themselves to self-regulate his driving. They were purposely trying to stop him from passing and getting around them. It was like a game to them, […]

One day I Will Miss the Towels on the Floor, the Water Spots on the Mirror and Your Horrible Morning Breath in My Face
The “stuff” that matters. Love. Anyone who is married can understand that there will come a point in time when the little idiosyncrasies that you spouse has…well, will annoy you a bit. It is ok to admit it. Yesterday, while I was picking up the towel that Mike forgot on the floor and after I […]

2022 Conforming Loan Limits – Woah!!
2022 is certainly bringing in a lot of changes when it comes to many things, but the only thing I am going to talk about today is the astounding new mortgage limits! I am a Loan Officer, after all. The country has seen some pretty crazy price increases when it comes to housing prices as […]
