My Happy File

Image
I just read a little story on my Bible app about a woman having a “normal” day with someone, she doesn’t mention who it was, but it was just an ordinary day – with no special plans. The two decided to have lunch outside on a beautiful day, soaking up the sunshine, talking and sharing a couple of laughs.  Then, this person whispers: This is going in my “happy file”. She goes on to explain that her happy file was her record she kept of God’s simple blessings, those moments in time with a little extra spark. You know, those times when you look back and think about them and they make you smile? What a concept, right? A file of good memories doesn’t have to be an expensive vacation, and well-thought-out, busy day filled with activities. I can be simply a moment in time that makes you smile.  I love this idea and plan on keeping my own “happy file” of the things that happen each day that make me happy and appreciative of all that God has given me. And when I think...

A Visit to Galax -- Where Old Time Mountain Music Comes to Life

Image
My recent travels took me down to Galax, Virginia to feature the area for our ongoing series.   I have never been there before, but heard a lot about it from a friend of mine who is from this area.  She often talked about small town living and the limited shopping that's available.  But see, she's really a city girl at heart, and you can't blame the gal for wanting to go somewhere that has an Ann Taylor's LOFT and a Gap close by. And this is not the place to go if you want the latest in women's fashions.   However, she neglected to describe how steeped this place is in its music history - and it's a must-visit if you're into old time mountain music. Galax is now known as the World's Capital of Old Time Mountain Music. It used to be an area known for its furniture and textile industry, however,  after much of that industry went overseas, it had to reinvent itself.  And it has.  It...

Creating a Video with My Daughter

Image
I can't tell you how many times my daughter has bugged me about doing a YouTube video.  My background is in television, and she always wanted to go on my show and host cooking segments with me.  I didn't mind it, but doing a YouTube video?  Ugh.  I didn't want to expose her like that and have her looking at all of her "likes" or, in our case, "no likes." In our social media centered world, it's so scary to have our kids exposed, especially when we hear of all the studies linking online bullying and suicides with social media.  But it's here, and it's not going anywhere.  She's not on social media yet, she's way too young, but I'm trying to educate her about it - the good, the bad and the very ugly that goes along with it.  So since it's not going anywhere, I thought we could do a video together - a baking segment (which she always wanted to do) where we would learn how to bake together.  I have to say, it was fun, and it...
