I've had the good fortune this week of crossing paths with several every day heroes, or angels, if you will. Average, run-of-the-mill people who are motivated by the desire to make a difference in the lives of others. And at a time when we celebrate commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July… Continue reading Everyday Heroes

Morning Glory
This brilliant sunrise is what greeted me on my morning run. What a glorious way to start the day! And this mama bird protecting her babies, still unhatched, as I marveled at the maternal instinct of all God's creatures. Seize this day with gusto, my friends! Life is a gift. 🙂
Prayer in Numbers
It started, as my ideas usually do, on a morning run. Typically I like to listen to music or audio books when I'm running, but there are times I enjoy simply basking in the sounds of nature or beautiful silence. And there are times I go on a prayer run. This was one of those mornings.… Continue reading Prayer in Numbers
Birthday Blessings
I've heard people talk about 50 as being "over the hill," "half of a century old," "on the downward slide," etc. When I woke up this morning, having turned 50 myself, the first thing that came to mind was: I AM SO BLESSED! I got out of bed, got dressed and headed out the door for an… Continue reading Birthday Blessings
Running is Cheaper Than Therapy
I've posted in the past that running is my therapy. And a whole lot cheaper! Running in the early morning is when my mind churns out ideas for my novels or short stories, or brings to light an answer to something I've been praying for. However, that being said, this typically only happens when I'm running outside in nature,… Continue reading Running is Cheaper Than Therapy
The Gift of Hope
This year, as I turn the big "5-0" on June 11th, I look back and see how incredibly blessed I've been during my life. I would like to pass on that blessing to the kids of St. Jude children's Research Hospital, to give them the gift of hope to live the life I've been, and… Continue reading The Gift of Hope
Appreciate the Struggles
I heard something so profound today that I had to share it. Where I work we had a White Dove releasing ceremony this morning for National Crime Victims' Rights Week. The released doves represented and honored the victims we serve. The man who owns the doves told us that when he first began this work, when… Continue reading Appreciate the Struggles
Happy Easter!
Happy Easter to all! I hope everyone has a most blessed day! I sat on my deck for most of yesterday afternoon finishing the book Twenty Eight and a Half Wishes (which I would highly recommend as it's a most entertaining read), but, therefore, got behind on my Camp NaNo word count. So after a prayer… Continue reading Happy Easter!
Living With Compassion
If there's one thing that can turn a bad day into a good one every single time it's connecting with my Compassion kiddos. I can be having a terrible day at work, but if at the end of that day I come home to find a letter from one of my three kids in… Continue reading Living With Compassion
The Inheritance – Prologue
I want to share the prologue to my novel, The Inheritance. If interested, it can be found on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Goodreads, and Old Firehouse Books. ********************************************************************* The stars shone brilliantly above, sparkling through the moon roof of the Mercedes, the countryside speeding by as the car hugged the road's twists and curves neatly… Continue reading The Inheritance – Prologue
