Harrisonburg, Virginia is growing by leaps and bounds. We are literally seeing new businesses coming to town regularly, and there seems to be construction everywhere, all the time now. No kidding. So when the whole block at the corner of Martin Luther King Jr. Way and Main Street was razed to the ground, I knew that something big had to be coming. I was right. In the fall of 2016, the ceremonial groundbreaking took place for the new Hotel Madison, and construction to build this premier facility was underway. And now, 18 months later, this hotel and conference ... Continue Reading...

Our imperfections make us unique
I really enjoy looking at smokey quartz, its color just fascinates me. However, do you know what I find even more fascinating? It's the fact that this wouldn't have the color that it has if it was just pure quartz. Like the article mentions below, it is because of the impurities, inclusions, and/or radiation that this gem looks as beautiful as it does. Smokey quartz owes its rich color to its......imperfections. That speaks to me. The "quirks" of this gem make it disntictive and stand out. My quirks do the same for me, your quirks do the same for you. We STAND ... Continue Reading...
Seize the Moment, Take the Opportunity!
via Instagram http://ift.tt/2CAmI95 Almost 3 years ago, we had the experience of a lifetime. My husband was selected to oversee the students of the summer studies abroad program in Salamanca, Spain. And we all went with him, to live in Salamanca for 2 months! Our kids were 19, 18, and 16 at the time. I cannot tell you the depth of the impact living in Spain has had on our entire family, even to this day. All I can say is when God affords you the opportunity to doing something new and astounding...DO IT. When He makes a way for you to do the amazing, do it. You ... Continue Reading...
Excellence Speaks: My Musings on Marvel’s Black Panther
I just feel compelled to take a moment and speak my piece on the phenom that is Marvel's Black Panther. When I first heard that this Marvel movie was in the the works, I was excited. This would be the first time in my lifetime that a black superhero would headline a film about his own story and the story of his people. Wow. We are big Marvel fans in my house, and so this would be another fun big screen adventure, with the added bonus of my young adults seeing their hue reflected on the big screen in a starring role. Yes. But as it got closer to the time for ... Continue Reading...
Personal Growth
via IFTTT Got a fresh new haircut yesterday, just a few hours before my hubby’s annual Christmas social event for work. In years past, I would have serious considered not debuting a new look in front of so many people so soon. I would have needed (wanted) a few days to acclimate. But not this time. I went home and colored my ‘do, selected my outfit, put on my makeup, and headed out the door with my hubby. My mind and heart were set to focus on others and encourage others in conversation and wit. I wasn’t really sweating me. I felt like a queen. Then it occurred to me: ... Continue Reading...
