I am Why Do I Need Venmo years old– I laughed when I saw this. My daughter and her friends use Venmo all the time. I had a young woman at church ask me the other day if I use it? I don’t want to use it!!! This is more than Venmo years old too. Let me know if there are any that you really relate to…

Southwest Chase Credit Card Promotion:
I don’t think it’s a good idea to get started using credit cards unless you are willing to discipline yourself to pay them off every month. However, sometimes it’s smart to use a card for weekly or monthly purchases when you get points. I have gotten many free flights due to the points on my Southwest Airlines card. Here is a link that they sent me. If you sign up using my link, I’ll get points added to my account.

You Can Heal Yourself Using the Chi Energy of Trees According to Taoist Masters– This article fascinated me because I truly believe that nature can heal us!! I know the New Mexico mountains that I now live in certainly helped “heal” my grief!! I read a book by Yolanda Hadid, Believe Me, about her battle with Lyme Disease. She talked about going outside and laying down on the grass to feel nature!! I loved that!! I feel better when I’m out in nature!! God’s creation is meant to bring us pleasure. Nature is certainly a balm for what ails me!! Believe me, you’ll never look at a tree the same way after reading this!!

I love the fall colors.

I’m not ready for these beautiful colors to leave and winter to take up residence!!
