International Women’s Day

Rhonda

I saved my Wednesday post for Thursday this week, because today is International Women's Day. While I'm not a women's libber or a women's rights activist (Not that there's anything wrong with those who are, in fact, if that's you, KUDOS! Keep it up!), I do believe women are special and contribute far more to… Continue reading International Women’s Day

Women’s History Month Spotlight – Mary, Mother of Jesus

Rhonda

As far back as I can remember, I wanted to be a mother. Little did I know back then, that role would far surpass any joy I've ever experienced. And that it would rocket my capacity to worry past the moon. I'm pretty sure I can count on one hand the number of nights of uninterrupted sleep I've… Continue reading Women’s History Month Spotlight – Mary, Mother of Jesus

Throwback Thursday–On Tuesday

Rhonda

I've always had a bit of rebellion coursing through my veins. Thank goodness it's mellowed as I've gotten older to breaking only trivial rules--like deciding to post a Thursday post on a Tuesday. 🙂 I found another poem I'd written a very long time ago, shortly after the birth of my oldest son, Benjamin, who turns… Continue reading Throwback Thursday–On Tuesday

The Best Days of My Life

Rhonda

Twenty-three years ago today, March 17th, and twenty-six years ago on March 25th, were two of the best days of my life. The day my boys were born were the days I learned what it means to love completely and unconditionally. Each day spent with my boys from that day forward has been a "best" day. When my… Continue reading The Best Days of My Life

T.G.I.F. – Gratitude Friday

Rhonda

My top three for the week: 3.)  Watching my 22-year-old son play in a soccer tournament. I love to watch him play. His speed, skill  and agility are delightful to watch and I'm so proud of him. 2.)  Opening the door one evening to find my 25-year-old son and my 16-month-old granddaughter standing there, both… Continue reading T.G.I.F. – Gratitude Friday

Thankful Thursday – The Lives and Health of My Boys

Rhonda

  I clearly remember the phone call I received from my 16-year-old son while I was nearing the end of a workday.  "Mom, I saw someone shot.  They aren't moving.  Mom, there's so much blood." And the line went dead. I attempted to call him back immediately, my fingers numb and not even feeling the… Continue reading Thankful Thursday – The Lives and Health of My Boys

Healing Words

Rhonda

Today, July 8th, marks eight days of celebrating life, and each day hereafter, yet another. A year ago, I posted a blog entry on life circumstances that have made July a very difficult month to get through. I had mentioned how each year I would find myself holding my breath just waiting for July to end,… Continue reading Healing Words

A Mother’s Day Thanksgiving

Rhonda

I've been a lazy blogger the past week. That being said, I've been breathing new life into revising my novel, The Inheritance, and I'm seeing the final touches being completed in the very near future. Near, as in by mid-June. 🙂 My husband and I are taking a much needed vacation this next week--leaving in the morning--so… Continue reading A Mother’s Day Thanksgiving

Women’s History Month

Rhonda

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
