TIPS for the Season of Love


 I enjoyed a hot cup of Lavender Chai Tea at the Nashville Farmers Market this weekend and saw this tip jar. Immediately I placed a few dollars in the jar because the D.J. Was playing Christmas jazz and blues…both of which I’m fond of.

This is a gentle reminder with so much going on in the world to be gentle with yourself and others.

1st Tip:   BE KIND

2nd Tip:  HAVE COMPASSION 

3rd Tip:  PRACTICE CHARM & GRACE 

We must become the kindness, compassion and grace we seek and we will attract the same! πŸ’•

Wishing you and yours a beautiful, warm safe Holi-day.

Pickle Ball in Springtime


 My sister Benita promised to play an old favorite game of ours growing up in Seattle called Pickle Ball. We laughed as we recalled playing at High Point and the recreation center. I’m practicing my paddle hold and ready for the first sign of Spring to spring into pickle ball action! Are you preparing for Spring? 🌿

Fontanel Closing

As a community it was challenging and fun to be a part of a wonderful group of people who learned and loved together! So many came and gave their best and many created family the needed. It is bitter sweet to know that this place which I put a lot of energy into along with many fabulous people will be no more. The exciting news is just around the corner and I know it’s going to be an asset to Downtown Whites Creek and the community! Thank you Dale, Mark, JP, Kelly, Jill, Donna, Ideta and so many others for the memories πŸ’•πŸ’‹
