My name is Margaret, but you can call me Sunshine, that is what my best friend usually calls me. It always makes my day when she phones me on a rainy day and says, "Sunshine, poke your head out that window, we need a little sunshine around here!"
Everyone needs a little Sunshine in their lives!
Especially someone who is an exact replica to Lucille Ball!
My day job is being a wife of 30 years (my husband jokingly says 25 of the best years of his life!) and a mom to two grown boys, whom I always love to talk about, but this blog is not the place!
I talked about them a lot in a book I wrote called: Have You Ever . . . Thoughts on God from the Carpool Line (and that was enough for family expose!)
I also wrote a second book called: 30 Days of Family Prayer, which is a collection of topics to pray scripturally over your family, which I like to share when I go to speaking engagements.
I hold a Masters of Arts in Theological Studies (M.A.T.S.) from Columbia Theological Seminary and I have been a Bible Study and Sunday School Teacher for over twenty years.
I founded a non-profit ministry called BTB Ministries, whose goal is to teach the Bible and how to grow closer to God. It also provides prayer quilts for those in need - and BTW, to all my friends, BTB stands for Blessed To Be A Blessing - OK, I get why no one can ever get it right!
As a 50+ year old woman who seeks a fit, healthy, and joyful life, I have spent a lifetime studying and practicing a wide array of natural ways to stay healthy in body, mind and spirit.
I have also always had a passion for decorated cakes (and now cake pops!) having had a specialty cake business in my younger days.
We had a Cake Pop Party at a Senior Retirement Association. There is something about cake that just makes everyone feel good (except of course when you eat too much).
A little bit of cake always seems to bring a smile!
We made cake pops with scripture cards for the high school weekend retreat.
Above all, I am just an avid learner who has learned so much from a variety of communities on the web. It is my hope to be able to share some of the things that I have learned and practiced over the years, so as to make your life better, more meaningful, more joyful, just like so many other web communities have previously done for me.
