I could hardly believe it when I realized this is my 100th post. Amazing! 🙂 I spent some time trying to think of some wise, witty, memorable ideas, wanting to make it a huge celebration. But then in the back of my mind, I thought since March is Women's History Month, why not pay tribute to… Continue reading Women’s History Month

TGIF – Gratitude Friday
Top three things I'm especially grateful for this week: 1.) The warm glow of lamplight and the soft flicker of candlelight on a cold evening. 2.) The soothing absence of sound and bright light after a period of sensory overload. 3.) My two grown sons on a trip together in Las Vegas, spending good quality… Continue reading TGIF – Gratitude Friday
TGIF – Gratitude Friday
Top three things I'm especially grateful for this past week: 1.)

It makes me sad when I see a young child talking to mom or dad who is more connected with… Continue reading Electronic Disconnection

A dear friend has an ongoing internal struggle with what he… Continue reading Serenity Through Acceptance
Happy Thanksgiving
When I was growing up, Thanksgiving was my very favorite holiday. That's an odd holiday for a child to have as a favorite, but my mom always made it so special, and it began weeks before Thanksgiving Day. She hung a picture of a cornucopia on the refrigerator door and every day we got to… Continue reading Happy Thanksgiving
