Mighty Dog of Valor!
Ezra, my mighty dog of valor! I recently began calling him this based on two things: 1) what we say & declare/decree over others matters (our words matter far more than we may realize), 2) from the scripture on Gideon in the Bible, Judges 6:12 The thing is, Gideon was threshing wheat in the wine press to hide from the Midianites what he was doing – the right thing in the wrong place. However, the Angel of the Lord appeared to him and said, “The Lord is with you, you mighty man of valor!” Gideon knew he wasn’t valorous at the time...

read moreDesert “Drift” Wood & Weeds
Desert “drift” wood and weeds. Weird thing to take a pic of huh? These are the things I’ve learned to notice and gaze upon while living in the desert. Especially when I used to go on my early morning walks with my former Carolina Dog, Schatzie. The quiet early mornings with her by my side were the best. I learned to notice and see things in the quiet. It wasn’t still because mornings are active times with wildlife but we need to be still within ourselves to notice these things. The stark beauty still never fails to capture my attention. I...
read moreTuning IN, to Tune UP!
Inspired by Ezra Not feeling on par? What happens when your vehicle needs a tune-up? We take it to get a tune-up (or if you’re mechanically inclined you do it yourself). What about an instrument that isn’t in tune? The musician gets it tuned-up or it won’t sound very good no matter how accomplished the musician is. What about our bodies (and those of our dogs), do they need a tune-up also? The simple answer is YES. But how do we tune up a body? The body is fearfully and wonderfully created, so God made simple...
read more30 Day Feelings Kit Challenge
Welcome to the Feelings Kit Challenge class. From 06/21 – 07/20/17 I conducted a 30 Day Feelings Kit Challenge with those on my Young Living team. The following videos are the videos shared on my private Facebook group. The 30 Day Challenge was created by Young Living Founder, D. Gary Young with notes from Dr. David Stewart. The challenge is simple. Use each of the essential oils blends in a certain order and fashion with intention (see the articles by Dr. Stewart) twice daily for 30 days – morning and evening. Then wait to see...

My favorite desert wild flowers! I wrote this back in June when we were in severe drought. Even though the drought has ended and the blazing temperatures have waned a tad, we are often still breathing the smoke from new wildfires or smoke from neighboring states that are still blazing. At the end of this I’ll share a pic of just one of the THREE ponds that have appeared in our lower yard since I wrote this post initially for my Instagram account back in late June. The part of our yard we call the “valley” – where our...
read moreThe Beast Behind the Beauty
Schatzie here, all the way from heaven. I have a VERY hard subject to share with you humans but it’s VERY imPAWtant for you and for us. Mom thought it would be best if I share bepaws she always called me her Beauty Queen on earth, and now I really AM a beauty queen in heaven, woof! My hope is to help you be the true beauty queens YOU are by choosing better for yourself and thereby for your dogs (and other pets too of course). Have you ever considered the cost of beauty products? I don’t mean the actual monetary cost, but the...
read moreFOOD for Thought
Schatzie taking a nap This won’t be a long post but it does bear sharing as so many have this mindset on the pet carnivore – NOT the wild carnivore mind you. People seem to understand the needs of the wild one but totally dissociate our carnivore pets from that for some very odd reason. For the record, I’m not open to debate on this topic as I have taken the full journey from kibble, to omnivore diet to carnivore through both research AND application. I stand by the carnivore diet. So this post is food for thought. So...
read moreSpeaking Better Things…
What does that mean, speaking better things? As in positive words? Yes, it can and should mean that in part. The BLOOD is speaking better things – as in the blood of Jesus, the Cross. Yes, I am going there -AGAIN. The time we are in now in this world is no time to be tip-toeing through those tulips any longer. Would you like to travel this path with me into the inner world of humanity? The mind, the blood, the DNA? This time I’ll be sharing some on the animals and what is being unleashed upon them also alongside of us, as another...

This post is going to be more about the losses we suffer during this life and how we decide to receive the gains in the process of that. This photo was taken circa the 1960s! That’s me on the left with that huge bottle of Coca Cola yuck lol – DEFINITELY not something I drink nor would I any longer. As Maya Angelou said, when I learn better I do better. Next to me was my younger sister by one year and 10 months, Paula. My younger brother Jimmy on the tricycle with an orange pop nearly as big as him (he’s one of 4 brothers I have...
