April is an important month where I work and one that makes me proud to be doing the work that I do. National Crime Victims' Rights Week is April 19-25.

The Lost Art of Letter Writing
Does anyone else miss the days of pen to paper letter writing? Technology has made things so fast and easy, that it seems the personal touch of actually writing has become obsolete.

Gratitude…for All and for One
Sometimes I get so caught up in being the best at something I lose my focus on what's really important. Of course, being the Type A that I am, I'm usually killing myself striving to be the best at everything. And it's here that I get into trouble.

But with humility comes peace. Yet It never ceases to amaze me that like the monster it is, pride rears its ugly head time and… Continue reading The Present of Presence
Living with Intention
Life is often lived in such a rush, as if we're racing to get somewhere, that so many blessings go unnoticed. The only place we will get by racing through the day is one step closer to the end. I don't know about you, but I want to experience all that I'm given, tasting and savoring every morsel of the… Continue reading Living with Intention
