March brings so many memories to mind, but always top of the list is March 22, 1996.  The day my best friend died.  2014 marks 18 years, it is strange to be heading towards a 20 year anniversary of her death and realizing the years that follow will number greater than the years she lived life on this…

I spent the better part of a year with my closet looking like this … in fact I think this was on the way to 30 days of Houston Rodeo last year which is currently underway for 2014!  I was on the road and my clothes traveled in hangers instead of in suitcases. It made for faster…

When a student turns the corner to my hallway, makes eye contact with me and excitedly gushes “Miss Gillikin I ….” – made a 100 on my driving test  – got an interview – made an A for the semester – scored points in a game – got a job – beat my personal best –…

How many voices are in your head all trying to be heard, each their own agenda?  To get the last word,  to make their point?  If you’re like me … there are several that have to be reined in on a regular basis and silenced more often than we would like to admit what comes…

No one ever called “I’m washing”!  ha! My Mom cooked most every night, we hardly ate out and we didn’t have enough plates to eat multiple…

Yesterday on the last day of the 2013 one of my besties waited while her Dad underwent quadruple bypass and while praying for his surgery I thought a lot about the heart. Same as I did when my Dad was hospitalized Oct 2012. There are so many emotions of life that affect our heart, the…

I love magazines and have to remind myself to read books from time to time because I can get in a habit of just reading magazines.  I currently subscribe to People and Real Simple but in the past have had subscriptions to InStyle, Glamour, Texas Monthly, Economist (lest you think I just read fashion), Shape, Self, Lucky,…

When I was in High School I had a schedule that allowed some extra time in the day especially in my Ag class and I had a best friend with the same schedule and Ag teacher.  Oftentimes we found ourselves with the need to leave campus, which for some reason required a signed parent note for my friend, but not…
