Do You See What I See?

Maggie Sabatier-Smith July 9, 2018

Lord, give me eyes to see, ears to hear and a heart that loves – a big prayer – one I pray often for myself and others. On the surface it might appear somewhat general in nature. What or whom are we to see, hear or love? Why ask?

It’s about living on purpose…
I am convinced, backed by personal experience, that if I ignore God’s purpose for my life I will make a mess of my story. I have not always prayed for direction, waited for a response and acted on it. Truth. I have not always sought His will. How did that work for you Maggie? you might ask.

Quiet – Taking Time Out to Refuel

Maggie Sabatier-Smith August 11, 2015

Five days + Five States

We have arrived in Indianapolis and are looking forward to some quality time with family and friends. But first… some rest and relaxation.

We’ve done a great job of eating healthy and hydrating but with all those hours in the RV, we haven’t stretched or walked as much as our bodies needed. The late night meals haven’t helped our sleep much either. Icy Hot is my friend <<smile>>. No worries – we’ll make a few adjustments over the next few days in Indy and will hopefully be back to normal. As Health Coaches we know that it’s not just about nutrition. Habits of Health include body + mind + spirit + finances, all of these, ideally balanced create our best life possible. Throw in some of the silly laughter and quality family/friend time and well, we have a winner lifestyle!

Fear of Walnuts? Not so much…

Maggie Sabatier-Smith July 23, 2014

Fear of Walnuts? Not really. But definitely FEAR OF HEIGHTS!! Several days ago we visited Walnut Canyon National Monument in Flagstaff, AZ. It’s taken me several days to muster the courage to look at the pictures and share them here with you. Those of you that share the same fear will totally relate – the rest of you… well, just enjoy the pictures.

It’s all about family…

Maggie Sabatier-Smith July 12, 2014

An extra night in Tucson… priceless! Creating precious memories with family as we did a bit of sight-seeing and sampled some of our family’s favorite foods. More than anything it was about quality time together – my personal love language. We leave today for Flagstaff as we continue our RV travel adventure but we leave behind the promise of future visits.

Tucson… a Golly! experience

Maggie Sabatier-Smith July 10, 2014

Two days into our Tucson, AZ stay and I still hear myself burst out with “Golly this is beautiful!” “Golly” is an expression I reserve for those times when God’s creativity overwhelms me. Big Bang? Seriously? How could anyone look at nature and not recognize the hand of God our creator?

Your Health Matters! Now what?

Maggie Sabatier-Smith July 8, 2014

Let’s do this HEALTH thing!

As a couple, Paul and I have made the commitment to live an on-purpose life – body, mind, spirit, finances. As we walk out our personal journey, we have also purposed to help others do the same. Anticipating a number of tempting food stops on our cross-country trip, we chose to “wear” our health message.

Boring? Not hardly!

Maggie Sabatier-Smith July 6, 2014

Texas, Texas and more Texas. We were told the leg from San Antonio to El Paso would seem endless and uninteresting. Well…

My first impression was awe. This is God’s country – such diversity in nature. I was moved to pray … Our truck converted into what I affectionately call our Praise Mobile and we began to pray for so many on our prayer list. We were overwhelmed with God’s peace and presence. We had church!

It wasn’t too long after that we heard one of our tires blow.

Tire all gone!

Passed the 3-day Travel Test!

Maggie Sabatier-Smith July 5, 2014

Three days, 5 states, almost 1200 miles and how many stops later? We are still happily married and talking to each other. Beagle Bailey wonders… Are we there yet?

Beagle Bailey sighs “Are we there yet?”

As many of our close friends have already guessed, we did not leave at 10 a.m. on Wednesday – but more like 12:30 pm. Humidity held us captive as we pushed through to load our last minute items and go through our very detailed departure checklist.

RV Road Trip Take 4!

Maggie Sabatier-Smith July 1, 2014

Never thought it would happen, but this NYC girl is about to embark on her 4th RV Travel Trailer camping experience this year. My first camping experience was in the late 60′s – one I felt for sure would be my last. But then one day…

As is usually the case with me, I started thinking out loud. Thoughts unfiltered I was overheard by my Paul. I felt a tug at my heart to visit our kids and grandkids who live in various parts of the country. (We have a his, mine and somebody else’s family — 12 children and 22 grands.) I wanted to stay a few days – but not at their place. Instead, I wanted to stay somewhere where they could feel comfortable coming and going – where we could spend time away from their day-to-day. I talked about a timeshare setting, possibly a hotel suite setting and yes, I even thought about renting a Camper. I’m pretty sure I whispered that last option. A few days later, Paul surprises me
