About me: I own, live and work at The Firelight Inn on Oregon Creek--a luxury bed and breakfast inn located in Duluth, Minnesota. My husband and I are fortunate to meet people from all over the world and provide a place for folks to take time to relax and enjoy one another. I have three wonderful adult children and four precious grandchildren who all inspire me. People who know me well tell me I'm determined, detail-oriented and a hard worker. A good time is watching racing--mostly motorcycle roadracing especially when my sons compete, Indy cars, and a little NASCAR. I love fine jewelry, Avon Products and pansies!
Love your 'B&B's pictures. I am currently doing my own research about Innkeeping. I am reading the book called "So you want to be an Innkeeper", and I think I love it!!! Your input will be appreciated...Have a great day :)
Be careful out there playing in the snow... but have fun fun fun.. even though snow is so darn cold... it is so pretty and drinking hot cocoa is so much fun :-) Just thinking about you Joy and wanted to wish you a good night! Linda
When I see the word Guidance, I see "dance" at the end of the word. I remember reading that doing God's will is a lot like dancing. When two people try to lead, nothing feels right. The movement doesn't flow with the music, and everything is quite uncomfortable and jerky. When one person realizes that, and lets the other lead, both bodies begin to flow with the music. One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a nudge to the back or by pressing lightly in one direction or another. It's as if two become one body, moving beautifully. The dance takes surrender, willingness, and attentiveness from one person and gentle guidance and skill from the other.
Look at the word Guidance. When you see "G": you think of God, followed by "u" and "i". "God, "u" and "i" dance." God, you, and I dance.
Be willing to trust that you will get guidance. Be willing to let God lead. My prayer for you today is that God's blessings and mercies are upon you on this day and everyday. May you abide in God, as God abides in you. And I Hope You Dance !
The road to success is not straight. There is a curve called Failure, a loop called Confusion, Speed bumps called Friends, red lights called Enemies, Caution lights called Family.
You will have flats called Jobs. But, if you have a spare called Determination, an Engine called Perseverance, Insurance called Faith, a Driver called Jesus, You will make it to a place called Success.
Have a great weekend filled with love and laughter given to you by God!

LUMP OF COAL
------------
Lord, I always wonder why
When bad things happen to me,
How could You allow me turmoil
And roughen waves upon my sea?
If you love me, why allow such pain
And unnecessary strife?
I thought thatYou wanted me to know
Peace within my life.
I know that You really love me,
I know that You really care.
I know that You work in mysterious ways,
I know mat You are always mere.
"Child, you are pressed upon every side,
But you're never really broken.
I will keep My every word
On the promises that I've spoken."
"In time, I'll make it clear to you,
For now, your character I build anew.
I allow such problems to persist
So that you'll help others too."
"You are a special lump of coal,
There's a reason for the storms.
When coal is put under pressure,
Eventually, a diamond forms."
