Season changes, the planning scope

Making changes is all about choice, planning and being deliberate. When moving forward from

domestic violence, you make a choice for a better life, free from abuse.

Planning is another big factor that can work for you or against you.

It is sort of like planning a vacation, however, with this type of planning, you won’t be coming back

to the same location, you will be embarking on a new season in your life and deliberate about your

choice.

Don’t get me wrong, planning is essential. Except in abusive cases, your plans may not always hash

out the way you want them to because of the opposing side.

He doesn’t want things to work out for you. However, you are determined and willing to do whatever

it takes to move forward.

You’ll need to figure out on the “wheel” where you are and make any adjustments and or assessments

to know where you will spring forward from.

At this point, you will see what guidelines you should partake in.

Make sure you keep any important documents in a waterproof container or bag, so your documents

don’t get ruined. Ziploc bags work great for this because they are resilient to water spills, protective

from other harmful deterrents, easy to carry and stow away.

I would say to make any necessary adjustments in your plan as needed. Again, assess where you are.

Avoid your normal routine shaking things up a bit.

Make sure you have a support group because isolation will not help you at all. Gives you more for

the devil (opposing side) to do his dirty work- you don’t want that.

Consider renting a mailbox if you can. You would like to receive your mail even when you move. I

can share with you that I had a horrific time obtaining my mail letters many years ago.

If that were to happen to you, get with your postmaster. Put your report in and watch your mail start

coming to you.

I end this blog with Ecclesiastes 3:1 “There is a time for everything and a season for every activity

under the heavens.”

And Isaiah 43:19 says “see, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am

making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.

West Texas tease

Hello Everyone,

It’s good to take a break and that’s what is happening today. Enjoy my writings from a vacation visiting family in Texas. I was inspired with a plethora of activities, sites, and beautiful people.

At first glance, ones sees a plethora of dried fields, tumbleweeds, and oil rigs. Though the area is well peppered with hotels, and restaurants between Abilene and Del Rio, businessmen and women, family and friends reach in for the West Texas tease.

Not the roller coaster, choo-choo, or baseball diamond, instead, another angle.

The grocery stores are packed with produce, meats, canned goods, and dairy items, as well as non-grocery store products. One can easily find sunblock on aisle ten, walk to six and pick up children’s toys, or find a variety of colorful plants near twelve. Then, flawlessly decorate the house with some home accents found a couple aisles from the “cards” section.

Supply and demand at area retail and grocery markets are thriving. Crowds of people fill the lines ready to make their purchases. It’s a race home before the clock strikes too late in the evening. Stocking pantries, refrigerators, and freezers, and preparing for the next day’s responsibilities are for everyone.

On an average summer day, the heat soars to one hundred ten. Sweat oozes from the brows of babes and trickles down cheeks of working men and women.

The community boasts of opportunity. Centered with parks, schools, shopping malls and cinemas, skating rinks, and a variety of other family-friendly locations. In contrast from other cities, community centers are a scarce reality. Builders and investors have seen, heard, and are commencing with phenomenal updates.

Real estate is plentiful throughout West Texas. A visitor can quickly gain a panoramic view of what Texas offers. From one perspective, a ranch style homes sells for $1,089,000.00, and a single-family home sells for $969,500.00. Look further and find commercial property for sale at $425,000.00, then, a single-family home in another part of the city for $194,900.00. Dig more profound through the town and find bulls with horns securing home with peace and serenity you’ve always dreamed of. Additionally, if you entertain often, various neighborhoods sport mini-sized dumpsters for all disposal needs. Refuse collection services three times a week for your convenience, check local listings for which particular block.

West Texas, specifically, Odessa, sports skateboard ramps resembling enlarged, squashed aluminum cans curved from the pavement in well-lit areas.

Rather than using mobile devices, an impressive number of teen aged boys practice their craft jumping, spinning, and zig-zagging off ramps into mid-air showing off their skills. The youth range from about 12 to 16 years of age. Each pumped with passion and desire to make the next “trick” effortless and more intriguing than the next.

Find Texas, the Lone Star State since December 29, 1845, on your map. Watch as the Texas tease unfolds your vacation list and drive the bull home.
