I Matter: Humility, Teachablity, and Patience!

Meet Karen…During the Spring of 2013, she was shocked to discover at age 55, she had lost significant bone density in three years and now had severe osteoporosis throughout her body. The risk of fracture was severe.  At that time, Karen decided to proclaim I MATTER…and began a healthy eating plan; regular weight training; daily…

My Favorite Shoes ….(Today)!

My Favorite Shoes ….(Today)!

My shoes from hotter.com!!  They are comfortable and stylish ….a trendy, fun style. My high school students even like them! But, I also saw these Bruno Magli’s at my neighborhood resale shop, GARMENT EXCHANGE!  What do you think?  Should I go back?  I can remember when Bruno Magli was “the” shoe to own back in the 80s!…

Feeling Power-ful!

As I enter a new year, I am feeling better than I have in a long time!  Results from six months of weight training and cardio are beginning to show! Now, I do not recommend this and I do not do it often.  But, I bought this jacket at Chico’s last year in a smaller size….

Blasts from the Past!

One week until Christmas, and we have so enjoyed cold weather in South Texas this year!  This Jones of New York  windowpane coat was a purchase I made almost four years ago at Ross.  I still love the coat.  I think I have worn it every year of this blog’s life!  The leather boots are…

Party Fashion: What I Wore!

Last week, we joined a few thousand people for my husband’s company Christmas party! It was held in the Alamodome and the entertainment was, ZZ Top!  It was a freezing, windy night in San Antonio and while I saw many bare- legged- ladies in dresses, I just could not join them. Though my pictures are…

Inspiration: Taking It To Southtown and Thinking Big!

Over Thanksgiving week, I watched Rachel Ray’s television program and paid close attention to a group of makeovers. This outfit popped up done from leggings with leather insets, a sweater, and denim shirt. I thought…wow, I have all those garments…so I reversed the program, froze the screen, and shot an inspiration look to wear downtown for…

How’s Your Focus?

How’s Your Focus?

Happy Friday!  In deciding what to post today, I reflected on this past week…each day comes with ups and downs.  So, I choose now to focus on the ups and not let the downs get to me.  I took some beautiful pictures for this post, sat down, took a phone call, and somehow misplaced the…
