Wearing Autumn Spices!

Wearing Autumn Spices!

As I walked in the neighborhood this morning, the acorns crunched under my feet as if a crackling fire was nearby.  The hint of autumn seems to be around a little earlier than usual.  Oh, it is still hot…just not as hot as we are used to at this time.  But, I am really enjoying…

Dealing with Temptation….HELP!

Dealing with Temptation….HELP!

I really thought you had to see what I deal with! Typically, I end each school year feeling unhealthy.  I get extra fatigued and will blow off exercise, and I am surrounded by unhealthy temptations for treats and food.  This week the wonderful parents transformed the teacher’s workroom into a candy store.  Everyone was encouraged…

Celebrating Strength!

Celebrating Strength!

           We knew we were close to our destination.  Streets followed names such as Bayou Drive…buildings were constructed on stilts around the levees…restaurants utilized vintage boats for dining rooms….and the air was thick with humidity and odor.  The odor hung everywhere …the hotel, Starbucks…everywhere… as if the entire area was sitting inside…
