  • Color for my Voice ….and a Book Update!!

    “The greatest enemy of good thinking is busyness.”  John C. Maxwell My time off this summer did not go as I originally planned.  But, in hindsight, that might not be such a bad thing after all.   My plans were to teach a month of summer school…then have the next six weeks to get a…

  • Wearable or Fashionable or Both!

    Great sitcom material…such is my life!  You have to admit there is great humor in the fact a mild-mannered-high-school-teacher-mom-about-to-be-grandma in South Texas is a fashion/beauty blogger!  But, here is where I find myself…yes, still having a great time…  The biggest drawback is when I am invited to blog about and attend fashion events…WHAT AM I…
