What Will the Neighbors Think?

We all need our moment to SPARKLE.


As we grow up. the pressures to “fit in” stifle our uniqueness. It is time to put the focus on what makes YOU sparkle, rather than being like everyone else.Sometimes we need a little nudge to get us to start feeling special. Maybe it comes when someone compliments our hospitality, other times it is a certain outfit that might show off our eyes, or the accessory that completes an outfit.

My hopes are to provide you with a spark to ignite your Personal Sparkle. Whether it is internal or external.


Hi, my name is Dale Cate and it was not until I reached my 50’s that I started thinking about what I want to do and be, rather than what I need to do to “fit in”.I grew up with my mom asking,

“What would the neighbors think?”any time I did not do something that met her approval. That started me on the road to believing I could not be “successful” or “good” unless I met everyone’s approval.While working in the corporate world, and making good money, I was always trying to be what others wanted. I read all the books that covered the subject If you want to be successful, you need…… Can you imagine the frustration I felt when I could not be or do what every book told me?

I was fortunate enough to meet a new friend that gave me the confidence to say what I felt, or do what I wanted, and not be judged. (Thank you, Sue!) Since that time, I have began to enjoy life each day and live the life I want.

My focus now is to help people believe in themselves and not compare their goals to other people’s goals. That is why the following statement describes my new business and team.The Believe Team, Helping Women Believe and Achieve!

Thanks for visiting and I hope you find it comfort

able enough to come back and to allow me to share ideas that might ignite your sparkle, after all it is YOUR TIME TO SPARKLE.

What are your thoughts?

Let’s Sparkle Together

My name is Dale and I have a life rich in laughter and profound experiences! As the self-proclaimed Chief Fun Officer, navigating existence with the motto “Young at Heart, Slightly Older Other Places,” I find joy in the intricate dance between family, faith, and the magic of everyday moments. In the heart of this life narrative lies a commitment to cherishing family gatherings, where the deck of cards and the roll of dice become instruments of connection, laughter, and lasting memories.

This journey isn’t just about personal amusement; it’s about weaving the tapestry of a life touched by miracles. Having witnessed several true wonders, the ultimate aspiration is clear: to make a difference in someone’s life. With family and faith as guiding lights, I hope to provide insights and experiences through this blog, fueled by a sincere hope that the words resonate and bring positivity to the lives of others. Join in the adventure as I strive to make each post make it a brighter, more inspired world.
