Zoey and Zig Ziglar Yes, you read that correctly. My favorite "Z" word in the whole world is Zoey, my precious granddaughter. There is none so perfect as she. 🙂 Especially in her sassy little leopard print dress. And Zig Ziglar? I couldn't think of a better way to end this remarkable blog challenge than… Continue reading “Z” is for…

Writing on the Wall After reading a blog post some time back asking how far back our love of writing went, I began thinking about when my love of words began, and discovered it was the writing on the wall. Literally. Much to my mother and father's dismay, I began experimenting with writing on our living room… Continue reading “W” is for…

Vacation Who doesn't love a vacation? The image of my toes in the sand, a cool drink in my hand...ahhh...heaven. When I was younger my definition of vacation was narrow, including only the traditional meaning of the word--"a period of time that a person spends away from home, school, or business usually in order to relax or… Continue reading “V” is for…

S.P.E.A.K. This past Saturday I participated in an event near and dear to my heart. The Youth Commission in my city hosts a S.P.E.A.K. (Suicide Prevention Education Awareness and Knowledge) week each year and one of the events is a 5K walk, which was Saturday. Having been touched--and devastated--by suicide with a friend several years ago… Continue reading “S” is for…

I read a post yesterday on a blog I follow, In Her Words Avenue, and it reminded me of an incident that happened several years ago that, each time I think of it, reminds me never to underestimate the power of kindness. Its ripple effect travels endlessly. When my grandfather was lying in a hospital bed, the angel… Continue reading “K” is for…
“H” is for…
It's my favorite place in the entire world. But more than a place, I think of it as a state of being. Home is where I am when I have my kids and grandkids with me, whether it's at my house or elsewhere. Home is where I am when I'm on a nature walk, feeling… Continue reading “H” is for…
“G” is for…
Guilt. It's such a harsh word. GUILT. It seems to scream "Villain!" or "Bad!" Having been born and raised Catholic, I've felt my share of guilt as I was growing up. And that guilt is still laced throughout my daily life. When I'm feeling uncomfortable and don't seem to know why, I can usually find… Continue reading “G” is for…
TGIF – Gratitude Friday
Top three things I’m especially grateful for this week: 1.) The act of service I've chosen to do for the Lenten season that enhances my prayer life and closeness to God. 2.) The unexpected text message from my married son filling me in on my granddaughter and letting me know I was in his thoughts. What a… Continue reading TGIF – Gratitude Friday
