My! My! My! You never know what memory is going to cross your path on any given day. Nor, the manner in which you will receive it.
I had just completed a Zoom meeting. In the chat box was a link to click for the purpose of providing feedback on the presenter. To my surprise, the link directed me to Google docs where I had to request permission to open the file. Very strange, indeed! Of all the meetings similar to this one, nothing of this nature had previously occurred.
The document opened and to my surprise were pictures on this day, February 08, 1986! The two attached photos are, of course, the most memorable ones of that day. I would be 40 in September of that year and competing in the Mrs. Florida pageant. What!?. The average age is 23.
Note: The first picture was taken at Cogburn’s clothing as I was trying on clothes for the pageant.
I placed in the Top 10 and would have gone further but got stumped on the question. Let me explain. From an early age up to that time and even later in my life, I was very uneasy speaking in public, especially in front of an audience. I did not like my voice and was often times laughed at because of the way I pronounced certain words. My home state is Georgia and I am a true Southern girl. You know, one of the G.R.I.T.S. If you aren’t familiar with
that acronym. G.R.I.T.S. = Girls Raised in The South.
Today, I have overcome that obstacle beginning with doing Catnip Fireside Chatter, FB lives, and have appeared on numerous podcasts. Now, I have events about to blossom and bloom, which I never thought possible in my life. An opportunity of a lifetime to spread the Catnip of joy, love, healing, and happiness in nature. . . the fertile ground for creativity and imagination created by the hands of God.
What may actually come out of all of this is still fully unknown. One step at a time. Who do I thank for what’s coming next? There is only one answer to that question:
My Lord and Savior who sends me messages to pay attention to my thoughts. As I increase the value of my own life, I am increasing the value of others! What about you? Do you believe in angels? Are you curious about your thoughts?
