Choosing the Way of Love

Choosing the Way of Love Like the true “romantic” that I’ve always been, I was glued to the TV to watch every detail of Prince Harry and Meghan’s (now, Duke & Duchess of Sussex) wedding.

We’re His Pampered Sheep

When my youngest grandson steps out his front door each morning, you’ll immediately hear the bleating of the goats, the hee haws of the donkeys and the mooing of the longhorn. Oh, news just came in — it is also the clucking of his new brood of chickens. They know their “master” is getting ready…

Sometimes ACTIONS Really Do Speak Louder Than Words

St. Francis of Assisi said “Preach the Gospel at all times and sometimes use words.” His words describe what I received on Sunday, Mother’s Day, from my precious family. Denise and Larry made us the most delicious grilled steak lunch with all the trimmings, then it was Wallace Cleaning and Trim Service in action! Love…

This is NESTING — Preparing, Waiting, Anticipating On Saturday, I went outside to water some plants and I was startled by the fluttering away of a mama dove that had laid two eggs in my fireplace vent outside.

Mentor – a trusted guide, coach, role model, counselor I don’t know where or who I would be were it not for the mentors in my life from a very EARLY age. Since I was “early” in getting married (at 17) and “early” to have a baby (one year later at 18), I needed all…
