New Blog!

I am planning a New Blog...
Please stay tuned.. I will be posting my new Blog.  This one has been closed, so I am not able to make any new posts to Facebook or tweet.  Time to get a new life.... Time for a new Blog.
I do love to Encourage, as I need that in my life.  This winter has been good for me to recover and close off from the world, but at the same time, it's not been good health wise.  Especially for my mental health.  But I have reconnected with the Lord in a wonderful way.  So I am ready to start a new life and begin to feel good.  I am losing weight... I am glad to say that at the age of 62 I am getting my weight down...Thank you Jenny Craig.  My husband also has joined me in the diet.
Well, please come back soon.  I'll have my new Blog posted as soon as I come up with a nice name for you to view.
If you have any suggestions do let me know.  I want to keep the word of Encouragement or Encourager if I can.

I'm BACK!!

Hello all you Warrenville ITES!!!

I am back and with an excitement and ready to bring ENCOURAGEMENT to those of you dragging from this Cold weather and other difficulties that you are facing. 

It's been a while since I have been to this Blog, but I have decided that it's time I bring this back and with more excitement.... I am going to try and Blog to all of you while I am out of the country.
This will be good therapy for me and also for all of you that have never been abroad.  Well, I am a broad, but I have NEVER been ABROAD to the other side of the world.

I am heading for Turkey SOON....I will be reunited with my awesome son James and his new Bride, Ebru.  James has a love story that some of you are familiar with.  He met Ebru on the Internet about two years ago.  Keeping in touch, and through Skype, they decided that it was time to meet face to face.  James went there for Christmas in December of 2012.  Ebru joined us here in the States in March of 2013; then in November of 2013, they were married. 

As I get closer to leaving for Turkey, I will write more for you.  If you have any questions, please submit them to me.  I will be glad to answer whatever I can.  I will be at the Capital of Turkey in Ankara.  It will be very educational for me, plus it will broaden my views of the rest of the world.  What an education for me that College could never offer.  I love learning about other cultures.  I will also share with you what the foods are like.  There is a limitation to what I can ingest, but I am willing to go beyond my comfort zone and try different foods, with the help of my gorgeous Daughter in Law, Ebru.  She will be my source and the trust that I need to push through the barriers that have had in the past.  The older I get the less I enjoy being out of my comfort zone.  But now it's time to push past that, and move ahead, and be willing to extend myself beyond my limitations.

In the meantime, I am thinking of all of you and yes, I am ready to encourage many of you... I need the encouragement and I find that if I reach out to others to encourage, I myself will be encouraged in the Lord.

I hope you will be with me, as I journey on to a new life, a new journey, and new friends to bring into the circle of my life and also introduce them to your lives...

I will also post pictures for you...  I promise...

We are living in some tumultuous times and it's times like these, that we need more of an outpouring of Love, consideration and care for each other; but most of all, LOTS of prayers.  We need to prevail in these times and we need to succeed so that we can help others to grow and become stronger in their faith...

God Bless all of you.  Jesus is alive and well, and HE is getting ready soon to take us HOME in the everlasting ARMS of HIS LOVE!!! 

Are you ready to join me?  Awesome.... Hang in there and I will be back with more writing!  I can't wait.  This is exciting.
