Have you ever had a small object, maybe a smooth pebble or marble, that you carried to remind you of something - like a worry stone, or a ‘cross in my pocket'? This is what a touchstone is: a standard (make it a positive standard) to help you make choices which help you reach your goal. With this in mind, I purchased some elastic, black beads, and alphabet beads. I went home and made a string of beads to put in my pocket that spells out MAGIC HELP. Each of these letters is a ‘touchstone' to help me to reach my goal. Here is what they stand for: Read more >

About Me:
I am a single grandmother of 7 grandchildren - my babies. They range from age 1 to 13. My family is the center of my life.
I was born in Illinois and raised in the Quad Cities on the mighty Mississippi where I dreamed of Huckleberry Finn adventures.
I also dreamed of someday seeing Pike’s Peak - and ended up living at the base of it for 4 years. In my Senior year in High School, I was in the musical Oklahoma at our school. Now I live in the great state of Oklahoma. I transplanted here when I was around 30 years old.
I work in the aviation world engrossed in the world of databases. I was introduced to the PC on a PC2 and have grown and learned since then. Due to several mentors at work, I learned alot about databases, and even some programing - very little.
Now I am nearing retirement. I decided to try some online stuff to get a supplemental income plus something to learn and to keep me busy (like I am not already). If it weren’t for that, I probably never would have been introduced to blogging. Now I am addicted to blogging and social networks.
Life has had its ups and downs, but God was always there to help me. And He will be til the end. And from this comes my handle - Joyntheir - The Lord is my Joy. We are joint heirs with Christ.
