As a parent, you have probably told your children many times as they leave the house: make good choices. Our lives are a accumulation of the choices we make, so the younger we can teach kids the importance of decisions, the better! As adults, I think we can forget this principle. Perhaps we think […]
Some of My Favorite Adventures – Part I
We hope you and your family had a healthy and happy Thanksgiving. Wasn’t the weather grand? We were grateful for cooler weather and clouds, making it feel like the holidays. Mom appreciated it since she was the one doing all the cooking. Oh, how I love turkey. Mom spent the long weekend transforming our house […]
A Thanksgiving Poem
Wishing you and your family great health and a grateful heart this holiday season.
Rezzonico Park in Verde Valley
Did you get some wonderful rain? We sure did, and the temperatures finally feel like November. I’m grateful! I can’t believe this is Thanksgiving week. What are your plans? We’ll go on some family walks and enjoy some turkey. Of course, Mom will transform the house into a Christmas wonderland. I supervise, and Mowgli helps […]
How to Have Healthy Conflict
Did you see yourself in any of the conflict styles I described last week? If you are honest with yourself, you identified with one or two ways you tend to handle conflict. None of them were very healthy, and the reality is, unless we work at it, we can fall into negative patterns easily. […]
Schnebly Hill Road Look Out
If you recall, back in June, me and my family headed to Schnebly Hill Road off I-17 just shy of Flagstaff to 4-wheel to the Look Out. Believe it or not, the road was closed due to all the spring rains. Boy, doesn’t that feel like an eternity away! Fingers and paws crossed we […]
What’s Your Conflict Style?
Our pastor has been preaching out of the book, Songs of Songs, from the Bible. It is chock full of great marital advice, and one such area is conflict. Every relationship will experience conflict. We all approach it differently, though, and my experience and training indicate our conflict style is often a reflection of […]
Aspen Loop Trail in Flagstaff
What happened to fall? We began cooling off, and then the heat returned. Ugh! Thankfully, the weather is quite different up North. We were on a mission to see some fall color for Mom, and she found a hike we haven’t done before through aspen groves. Seemed perfect! The hike is called the Aspen Loop […]
Your Words Matter
I can’t remember the last time I used the word “problem” because it is such a negative word. Our brains immediately get stuck whereas if we use the word “challenge,” our brain quickly searches for solutions. The words we choose matter, and we have the choice to set ourselves up for success or failure. How […]
Barktober Fest in Gilbert, AZ
Happy Howlween to you! Tomorrow is the big day, but Mom and I started celebrating early by attending the Barkober Festival in Gilbert, AZ a couple of weekends ago. Friends for Life Animal Rescue, located at 952 W. Melody Avenue, hosted the fund-raising event, which they do every year for free. You missed this year’s, […]
