When You Don’t Know What To Do

I’m a pretty good actress.  I’ve always been able to make people believe I know what I’m doing, why I’m doing it, with all the confidence I can muster together.  Truth be told, though, I’m often faced with not knowing what to do. Maybe it’s my Type A personality...

When You Least Expect It

Last week we heard from a former client, a dear person we hadn’t heard from in years.  The call was unexpected and brought answers to questions and needs we had.  Hubby and I scratched our heads wondering, “how on earth??” Then we immediately realized it was...

On Wings Like Eagles

Over my lifetime I have traveled a lot, flying friendly skies for work and leisure. This past weekend I took a long weekend trip to fly and visit family. The visit part was great … but the skies, after many years of not flying, weren’t as friendly as I remembered....

THE FROG IN THE KETTLE

In my youth (umpteen years ago), someone told me if you put a frog in a kettle of water, then turn the heat up slowly to the boiling point, that frog would just sit there grinning while he slowly boiled to death.  I thought, “That’s ridiculous – who wouldn’t get...

The Hatfields and McCoys

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again … I love history, folklore, and true stories. In my infrequent spare time, I enjoy films based on true stories, then love doing some research to find out the facts. This week I watched The Hatfields and McCoys series.  I...

What the World Needs Now

Any time of the day, any day of the week, anywhere in the world we hear the same thing … the state of mental health is suffering and declining. Recently the Associated Press reported that suicide has reached an all-time high in the US. About 49,500 people died by...

WILL EVIL PREVAIL?

Since time began there has been a battle of good vs. evil. From ancient human sacrifices, barbarism, slavery, death camps, the Cambodian killing fields, abortion, and now child and human trafficking, among countless others, they all have one common denominator —...

Fleeting Moments

This month we have two granddaughters graduating high school. How is that possible? Exciting for them … surreal for us.  It was just yesterday we held tiny bundles in our arms, welcoming them to the world … catching them as they took their first steps … searching...

I Am What I Am

I was blessed to have parents who cared for their family. They each took, housed, and saw to their needs until they passed. I loved spending time with my maternalgrandparents (especially my “Bom-Bom,” who was THE best cook in the world!). Unfortunately, I never knew...

Deep Roots

I grew up in Big D. From my first memories; I have been fascinated with trees. I just knew if I climbed all the way to the top, I could reach heaven.  As I grew older, I became more aware of the world as we traveled around the country. When we went west, the...

Patience is a Virtue

“Sit down, be quiet, be patient.”  My dear, sweet mother said this practically every day. I got the “sit down” command down pat. As far as “be quiet,” … well, not so much. And sadly, now 60+ years later, I have to admit I never mastered being patient. My lack of...

The Power of One

Behind every great movement of history lies a single individual who had the courage to take the first step. This week, I’m excited to share with you how one action, taken by one person, can be the spark to ignite a movement of transformation and revival.
