Another Proud Mama Moment
Yesterday, I asked for you to indulge me on a proud mama moment as I shared my son’s recent blog. Then yesterday morning, I saw my daughter’s recent blog. It seems blogging has caught hold of my family. I like to think that of all the things I’ve done wrong in my life, I must…
This Girl is on Fire!
Lest I sound braggadocios in this blog today, I best use a scripture to explain: “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.” (1 Corinthians 1:31) Please indulge me as I boast on God’s faithfulness, His goodness, and His mercy to me. After Elizabeth declared “Blessed are you among women and blessed is the…
A Tribute to the One Who Gave Me My One and Only
I’m sure you’ve heard funny and catty remarks said about mother-in-laws. There are those who often talk about them as forces to be reckoned with, but that’s not the case with mine. I’ll tell you about her — because today is her 98th birthday. We can never forget her birthday because it falls on this…
And You Will Call Her Name…..Staci Michelle

Role Model – Mentor – Women of Example
I have been blessed to have so many amazing female mentors in my life — that started with my precious mother who showed me the power of profound faith — in action. I don’t remember ever hearing her complain about HAVING to work to bring in the needed income when my dad was so sick…
Cherish the Moments
A few years ago, I received my daily “check-in” call from Staci while she was picking up Payton and Alexia from school. In the background, I heard Alexia say, “Payton, that’s my side!” Payton responded, “It’s my turn to sit on that side!” Then Alexia, “Mommy, Payton pushed me!” Then Payton, “She pushed me first!” Before…
