COULD

COULD

What does that word really mean? COULD.

By definition, it’s a word that indicates the possibility to do something.

I hear that word, COULD, and it rings deep into my heart. It says, “Imagine. Create. Invent. Design. Dream. Because it COULD be achieved it you simply said, YES.”

This week, my husband and I looked at each other and asked, “What COULD we do, if we tried? What would we do if we believed that we COULD?”

The answer—a whole lot more than if we didn’t try.

So, we did something crazy, we stepped out of the boat and decided to chase our dreams.

It’s scary and exciting.

We’ll see where it takes us.

But one thing I believe with all my heart, I rather be scared about taking a risk, than growing older and not trying.

COULD. Let’s see where that leads.

What Do You Get When Peaky Blinders Marries Downton Abbey…

What do you get when the television shows Peaky Blinders and Downtown Abbey marry and form a baby?

Peaky Blinders

Downton Abbey

 

I’m glad you asked.

From the love of their union comes a child known as Ramble and Roar.

Ramble and Roar is the combination of high-level mobsters and dream-driven flappers. There’s danger, humor, longing, and a wild array of adventure. With twists around every corner, it’s hard to know who to believe or what is true.

Blast From the Past: My First Christmas as a Mrs.

I have always loved Christmas! Luckily, I married a man who loves it just as much as me. On our first Christmas, we hunted for the perfect tree at Doumel Tree Farms. Then we cut it down and brought it back to our tiny home in Bay City, MI. Check out these photos from eleven years ago! We looked so young.

Opening gifts at my parents’ house. My Dad always give his own”special” presents. Usually a lot of white elephant trinkets from the dollar store. It’s a blast!

Monday Morning Joke: Put the Pizazz back into the Marriage

I only know a few jokes by memory that I retell…this is one of them.

A couple were now in their eighties and about to celebrate their 65th anniversary.

At breakfast that morning the wife said to the husband, “We’ve been married a long time and I love you very much, but I feel like we don’t have the same pizazz we once had in our marriage. Do you remember when we used to eat breakfast in the nude?”

The husband smiled. “Yes, I remember.”

“What if we did that again?” said the wife. “How about tomorrow morning?”

The husband agreed.

The following morning, the husband and wife settled down at the table for breakfast wearing nothing but smiles.

The wife gazed at her husband and said, “I think its working. I have a warm sensation in my breasts.”

The husband’s forehead creased. “Actually honey, I think that’s because one of them is hanging in your coffee and the other is sitting in the eggs.”
