Welcome

Welcome! We're 3 generations of women who said farewell to sunny Southern California and waved 'hi y'all' to sultry South Carolina. We love helping other women in need. I'm not saying you are needy! But don't you love getting tips from women who know something more than you in specific areas?

My daughter, Jacquie, is a certified nutritionist and I'm learning some easy steps to becoming healthier as the days--and years--go by. She owns and works at Life Wellness Center in Lexington, SC with her husband of 25 years, Dr. Thomas Blake.

My 22-year-old granddaughter, Destiny, is a make-up artist with MAC Cosmetics in Columbia, SC. She is teaching me simple ways to add a little glitter to my life ... and don't we all need some glitter now and then? She loves her Zumba classes and playing with her two labs.

And me? Well, through the years--sixty-eight at this writing--I've gleaned from some marvelous mentors and learned from the hard knocks of life how to fulfill the dreams that God has placed in me. I'm a writer, and I recently published my first novel, Lady and the Sea, based on my life story.

Summertime and the living' is ... easy ... hectic ... crazy ... fun ....

Summer wedding reception 2015
Just checking in to say that the GLITS Gals are alive and well and enjoying the summer.

 Destiny is busy with MAC Cosmetics, leading zumba classes at Gold's Gym, and starting up a wonderful business called IsaGenix.  I just started the program on Monday and I already lost four pounds and feel so much more energetic ... that is what this program is supposed to do.  

 Jacquie is focusing on her nutrition  passion and is also involved with IsaGenix.  Her and Tom spend a lot of time on the lake fishing and relaxing.  Since Tom bought her a karoake setup, she has hosted summer karaoke parties and they have been a blast!

 Rob and I recently returned from a 21-day journey to the flood disaster in Wimberley, Texas.  We bought a vintage motor home and consider it our second home.  We relaxed four days at Dreher Island State Park on Lake Murray and we plan to return to our home away from home.
Destiny's 24th Birthday
We hope you are having a sunny summer.  Don't forget to reach out and help someone.  You never know when you might need a helping hand.

Little acts of kindness which we render to each other in every day life, are like flowers by the wayside to the traveler; they serve to gladden the heart and relieve the tedium of life's journey.

Where have we been? That's a good question. Answer: Living, loving life!

Where have we been? Good question.  Answer: Living, Loving Life!

Winter 2014
Jacquie and Destiny lounging at my house.

Honestly, we forgot we had a blog!  
Not sure anyone reads it anyway. 
But just incase someone out there has missed us, 
we are still alive and well on planet earth 
in South Carolina.

Now for a quick update on the 3-Geration GLITS Gals:

Jacquie is busy with her nutrition business at Life Wellness Center. 
Works out faithfully,
takes her niece shopping and to the movies,
vacationed in the mountains of North Carolina/Tennessee,
traveled with hubby to So-Cal,
and is a smiley 'greeter' at her church,
NewSpring Church/Lexington.

Destiny not only works at Mac Cosmetics,
she now leads several morning work-out classes at the local Gold's Gym.
She took a road trip to Georgia.
She loves hanging with her peeps,
relaxing at home,
and just being 'herself.'

As for me, the third-generation of this motley crew, 
I'm busy writing my next book, Lady on the Run, 
and promoting my published book, Lady and the Sea. 
I traveled to California twice this year and 
I'm planning a road trip to Springfield, Missouri in the Spring, and 
Key West in the Autumn.

The GLITS Gals hope you are pursuing your dreams.
As you walk, jog, or run on your journey,
don't forget those around you whom you love.
A phone call, a visit, a prayer,
makes all the difference in the world
to those who love you.

Until next time ... whenever that may be ...
we wish you oceans of blessings!

The Lord before whom I have walked,
will send His angel with you
to make your journey successful.
Genesis 24:40  NASB

Gone fishin' for the summer...


Jacquie: "Let's get Destiny!"

Sharon:  "Yes! We'll get Destiny!"
We got Destiny!!
"Don't cry, Destiny!
Take it like a man...I mean WO-man!"
(actually, she was crying because her mascara smeared)
We are hoping you are having a sunny-fun summer!  
Sharon trekked through Costa Rica, is swimming an hour every day, and writing in her spare time. Jacquie's fishing with her hubby and eating healthy.
Destiny is working at Mac Cosmetics, working out, yoga-ing, and hangin' out with her friends.

But don't worry, the GLITS Gals shall return!
Celebrating Destiny's Birthday
Don't forget to SMILE!  
You'll look 20 years younger, and 
feel 10 years younger...
...or is it the other way around?

Me, Jacquie, and Destiny
at Jacquie's 48th Birthday Party

Daughter Jacquie had a birthday last week!  When did my sweet little girl become such a lovely, grown woman?  Forty-eight years has flown by.  

 We ate cake, we sang karaoke and danced.  We had a blast!

 We wish you fun and oceans of blessings!

Spring into Spring!

A California photo (June 2007)

Jacquie, Destinee, and I are celebrating the first day of Spring by drinking our morning smoothies, taking a brisk walk, and splashing our faces with glitter and lots of smiles.  Enjoy your day!
