A couple of weeks ago I drove to Austin for a work conference and passed through Bastrop, an area that endured a massive wildfire in September and October 2011 due to severe drought. The fire burned for weeks, thousands of acres destroyed, homes consumed by fire and lives lost. Every day it seemed we WAITed,…

This post is for me, maybe it will be for you, but mostly it’s an “I’m looking in the mirror and want to see where this ends up” for me. You know when it seems like something is so far away, details you can’t foresee, not sure how it will work out, WAIT and see,…

(As I mentioned before, I’m taking a break from writing about “WAIT”  on Sundays and catching up on what’s been going on.) A week ago I met one of my besties on my way home from Austin at a local winery by her house…a perfect Friday evening treat! The wine was delicious, the scenery beautiful and…

Yesterday I had the opportunity to attend an award ceremony for students who are in a Rocket Engineering program at their high school. They work throughout the school year to design and build a rocket with input from their  teachers and several scientist sponsors and mentors.  In the summer they take the rocket to New Mexico where…

Seems like I have more and more conversations about the news lately and how frustrating, depressing, saddening and more that it is. Our world is depraved. But there is still good news. And there are people doing good things. I might not be able to change the whole world, but I can impact mine.  One…

This week when I was out for workouts I kept noticing caterpillars…. …and it made me think about WAITing on change… You never know what’s ahead.  It’s halfway though October, I know there are things I’m waiting on and I’m sure you are too! I’m going to believe, through the wait something beautiful will come,…

Since my job change (details here) I feel like my routine has been non-existent. I love spontaneous, but there are some parts of a routine I crave.  I used to have a 2.8 mile drive to work which has turned into 30 miles. The commute has become manageable and it’s not bad….as long as I’m…

Last year during the Christmas season I realized how often I engaged in conversation with strangers while WAITing in lines.  I don’t typically do that, but taking time to say Merry Christmas would lead to a few extra sentences with a clerk or because lines were longer with others while WAITing. Then the new year…

Let’s be honest, oftentimes WAIT brings about a negative connotation, but not all WAITing is hard, unless you’re WAITing for the long awaited return of Bluebell….Honestly August 31 should have been a Texas holiday! Hallelujah for the return of Homemade Vanilla. Maybe there’s something you’re counting down to…vacation, wedding, baby arrival, new house, graduation, a…

(As I mentioned last week, (click here) I’m taking a break from “WAIT”  on Sundays and catching up on what’s been going on.) October….we’ve had a couple of peeks into cooler weather and promise of fall like temps coming to Texas, but not quite yet as there were still people in the swimming pool yesterday!…
