TRUST GOD ONE DAY AT A TIME! &
“PRAY WITHOUT CEASING! ”

Never let anything so fill you with sorrow as to make you forget the joy of the Christ risen...Mother Teresa

BELIEVE
To believe is to know that every day is a new beginning.It is to trust that miracles happen, and dreams really do come true.To believe is to see angels dancing among the clouds,To know the wonder of a stardust sky and the wisdom of the man in the moon.To believe is to know the value of a nurturing heart,The innocence of a child’s eyes and the beauty of an aging hand,for it is through their teachings we learn to love.To believe is to find the strength and courage that lies within us.When it is time to pick up the pieces and begin again.To believe is to know we are not alone,That life is a gift and this is our time to cherish it.To believe is to know that wonderful surprises are just waiting to happen,And all our hopes and dreams are within reach.If only we believe.

St. Ignatius of Loyola

Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty, my memory, my understanding, and my entire will, All I have and call my own.

You have given all to me. To you, Lord, I return it.

Everything is yours; do with it what you will. Give me only your love and your grace, that is enough for me.

Gotta love those Hats!


I, for one, am certainly a lover of hats. Why? Merely because of several reasons. You can use them to cover up a bad hair day, great for shielding your head from the sun, and here in Florida, our sun really shines. And my favorite use is to decorate with them.

Here is how I decorate with some of my hats.....



So many hats and only one head!







Displayed as a group and they’ll have extra impact. ...











I also love anything to do with hats.
















"When you wear a hat, it is like medicine for the soul. The hat is the expression of who you are as a women in every moment! The hat is your dreams of who you can be. It facilitates the different parts of who you are: With the wave of the hat, voila! You are mysterious...no, you are sexy...now proper...now playful.

I love love love hats! Every gardener needs a hat here in the bright sunlight of Sunny California. Straw hats, pith helmets, and the whimsical tam o'shanter on a chilly autumn day -- any hat will do, so long as it makes me smile to put it on. : )
