Every year at work I create a gratitude poster. I hang it in the breakroom, provide a couple of Sharpie markers, and send out the expected office-wide email. I say "expected office-wide email" because I've been doing this for 10+ years. I work at a District Attorney's Office so we see a lot of heartbreaking,… Continue reading So Much to be Grateful For

Black Friday
For every person who loves Black Friday, there's another that dislikes it equally as much. I'm of the latter camp. Shopping and everything that relates to "stuff" is my least favorite part of the Christmas season. I'll take the lights, the music, the uncomplicated joy of the season well before Thanksgiving--much to my husband's dismay--but… Continue reading Black Friday
Happy Thanksgiving
I participated in a craft and vendor show this past weekend at Harvest Fellowship Church, manning a table with my books. A writer friend of mine was there as well, her table next to mine. I'd been waiting a long time for this event, as it always promises to be a wonderful time and sets… Continue reading Happy Thanksgiving

Attaining Happiness
“Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, or worn. It is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace & gratitude.” -Denis Waitley All is Grace.
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
The Journey
I remember when I was younger and our family would embark on a road trip, a car ride that could last five minutes or five hours,  my sisters and I would sing a chorus that consisted of "Are we there yet?" And "How much longer until we're there?"   Wherever "there" happened to be. My patient parents would offer words to… Continue reading The Journey
