Monday Musings

Let's start the week with those positive energies that can uplift and make a tangible difference. I read somewhere that while our life may be fleeting, WE are powerful. So let's change the frequency with our thoughts and actions every minute of every day.

Discovering my Town Series: Bethany Lakes Park, Allen

The city of Allen has a network of gorgeous trails and parks and Bethany Lakes is one of those gems - an oasis  in the middle of a busy town.
This is a 40 acre park with all the facilities like sports and picnic sites. But what I love about this place are the picturesque ponds, trails, the board walk, and the variety of birds that the foliage and the water body attracts.

One of the best times to visit is during sunset. The beauty of the amazing Texas sunsets are magnified in this picturesque park. The trails are rather short but if you are looking to enjoy the great weather, the wildlife and take in the sunset then this is the perfect spot for you.

Monday Musings

As a society we are so used to and expect instant gratification in all things in life from getting the cute shoes right away to buying a house even if we have less than 20% to put down to expecting successes overnight. Any worth achieving takes time, effort, dedication and perseverance - it's a marathon not a sprint.
