The Vision Part 1

Today is the Sabbath and I am blessed to be in Loveland, Colorado enjoying the hospitality of my long-time friend, LeAnn Illingworth. This morning we will attend church at Resurrection Fellowship, a church we have attended together for over 20 years.

These are simple joys that can not be purchased or created at will.

They just are and I look at these moments with gratitude.

I can truly say that on my journey, I embrace the days with challenges knowing that God is bringing me to another level. If you ask, OK God, what is the lesson today?" He WILL answer. The key is to listen for the answer and be open to His possibilities. You will be amazed, I promise. And you can hear me say with a smile, "There's your sign."

I am consumed. There is a tension between what is real at this moment and what the possibilities are. It is the state that I stay in, quite honestly.

To focus on what's around you will diminish your ability to focus on what's before you.

What is before me is a vision that God gave me over 23 years ago.

He knew where this life would take me, when my lessons would finally take hold and when I would be ready to step into these shoes He has placed on my path for me.

A very wise man gifted me with a story yesterday that once again opened my eyes to the possibilities that the Lord places in front of me, every day.

I will end with this powerful rendition of the story of Columbus. As you read each word, close your eyes, and image Columbus as he stood on the deck of that ship. Feel what he was feeling. And taste the success he must have tasted as the bird was spotted.

Then pray for God to show you YOUR vision! And be open.......

Lady Road Dog









~ True story ~ When Columbus had reached the edge of the map - the "known/best guesstimated" edge of the blue - his first mate implored him to turn back... his answer: Sail on. The next day, again with nothing in sight and farther than ever before from their homeland, the first mate again asked; and again he gave the same answer... Sail on. The third day, the first mate BEGGED him to turn back lest they fall off the earth, etc, etc; and Columbus, knowing all his sailors were listening, turned to him and said in a very loud voice: "Sail On! Sail On! In full faith, SAIL ON!! (A land bird was spotted the next day) - Sail On, my friend... the possibilities will become clear as the reality unfolds in front of you.

A little about Lady Road Dog....
I am the Founder and CEO of DesignWraps Brands, a proud "Made in America" manufacturing company, offering headwear and apparel to the "motorcycle culture" as well as women suffering from hair loss.

I am on a 36 month motorcycle trip, promoting the purchase of American Made Products, promoting the preservation of our Bill of Rights and inspiring Hope in Americans.

I purchased my first Harley-Davidson in 1986. She was a Candy Apple Red Softtail Custom and I loved her with the same passion as my sweet Street Glide. But it was a much different women who rode those highways of America in those lazy days of the 80's.


Follow me as I continue my journey traveling across America, visiting every licensed Harley-Davidson dealership in the lower 48 and who knows......a trip to Alaska is in the works.
