Not only is February known for Valentine's Day, it's American Heart Month I gotta be honest, for as much as I used to "love" Valentine's Day, I've come to not "like" it so much. It's a day that's become so commercialized, not to mention making those not in a romantic relationship feel left out and… Continue reading It’s all About the Love!

Oh So Grateful!
As I write this post, my precious almost-two-year-old granddaughter is sleeping soundly in the room next door. I know without a doubt it's soundly because she fell asleep in my arms while I rocked her, while I carried her upstairs and lay her down, covering her with a soft blanket, and ten minutes later… Continue reading Oh So Grateful!
Remembering 9-11
The attacks of September 11th were intended to break our spirit. Instead we have emerged stronger and more unified. We feel renewed devotion to the principles of political, economic and religious freedom, the rule of law and respect for human life. We are more determined than ever to live our lives in freedom. —Rudy Giuliani… Continue reading Remembering 9-11
No Regrets
Why is it that we often don't realize how much a person means to us until they're taken from us. Whether it be a move, an illness, life getting in the way keeping two people apart, or death, it's not until the person is gone, the relationship as we knew it changed forever, that we… Continue reading No Regrets
We All Bleed the Same
You know how you can hear a song a hundred times and then on the hundred and first time you hear it, you really hear it? Or is that just me? I've listened to We All Bleed the Same by Mandisa on the radio several times a week and while it always gets my attention,… Continue reading We All Bleed the Same
The Bucket List
How many of you have a bucket list? The movie, The Bucket List, with Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson is one of my all-time favorites. It's a 2007 movie in which two terminally ill men (Freeman and Nicholson) set out to accomplish a list of things they want to experience before they "kick the bucket." I… Continue reading The Bucket List
The Month of Hearts
February is the month of hearts and love. Anyone living on this planet is aware of Valentine's Day, whether we're fond of it or not. The card, flower, and chocolate industry can attest to how popular Valentine's Day is. We celebrate and honor our "true love." I also celebrate my kids, adults now, but that… Continue reading The Month of Hearts
My One Word
As the New Year approaches--much too quickly, I must add--I've been preparing for, and contemplating, my one word for 2018. My One Word is an experiment developed by Mike Ashcraft and Rachel Olsen to help people get past the disappointment of not being able to keep News Years Resolutions. I used to be one of… Continue reading My One Word
A Rich Abundant Life
This past weekend I was fortunate to attend a women’s retreat through my church. Typically, when I get home from work in the evenings I long to stay in my home office with my computer, or at least within the walls of my home with my dogs and my husband. On weekends, I don’t venture… Continue reading A Rich Abundant Life
Faith in Humanity
As news channels cover the heartbreaking devastation that Hurricane Harvey left in its wake in Houston, Texas, followed closely by Hurricane Irma in Florida, there was a message that spoke louder than the news anchors I listened to. That message? How tragedy can bring a country together. For far too long, anytime I turned on… Continue reading Faith in Humanity
