Intimacy — Behind the Scenes
For years, social media has been the space where I deposit my musings aka blogs. I have thoroughly enjoyed sharing the Lord’s faithfulness through every season – especially the season that got this blog party started. It was a season that could have left me feeling alone, forgotten, disappointed, heart-broken and in despair. Instead, it…
I’m Available
I am in an availability season! I can change my mind and do this or that almost 24/7. It is a sweet season. I get to volunteer for several groups. I get to encourage and help others. I get to make decisions about going here or there with a friend at a moment’s notice. I…
Encouragers! Let’s Unite!
Have you noticed when you walk into a fast-food restaurant or retail store that you’ll hear one of their employees shout out “Good afternoon, welcome to ____”? Isn’t that encouraging? You were noticed! You also know that some of those employees have been taught to say something encouraging to you like “I love your hair”…
Whose Superhero are You?
I was listening to a Christian radio station. The DJ talked about a family he knows whose wife and mom was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer. The entire family dressed up in superhero costumes and went with her to each of her chemo treatments to let her know she’s their superhero. The DJ said great…

Consider Yourself Spurred On
Just after our warm summer morning of pickleball play at my community, we cooled off in the comfort of the huge trees close by. We had several good rounds of competitive play. It felt good to just sit and give kudos to each other for games well played. I love this community. Most are patient,…
When You’re a Hugger and an Encourager
That’s me. I come from a family of huggers. These arms were meant to reach out and hug. So, throw me into a world of social distancing, and I’m very uncomfortable. I was amused when someone reacted to my “Are You Vaccinated?” blog with these words: “Jesus would be first in line to get the…
A Little Encouragement Goes a Long Way
I often see visitors coming into our complex for a tour of the property. Sometimes I strike up a conversation with them to let them know how wonderful it is to live here. I was speaking to a visitor and her daughter and I asked the mother if she was married or single. She immediately…
I am my Greatest Cheerleader
One of my greatest pleasures is to be an encourager to others. I think that was my main motivation to start blogging. I know my mission in life is to dish out a little encouragement and motivation to others for each new day. I’m sure of it. But while I’m pointing one finger at all…
When You’re a Hugger and Encourager
That’s me. I come from a family of huggers. So, throw me into a world of social distancing and stay-at-home orders and I’m really uncomfortable. Actually, my heart aches for our world that needs a good dose of love, compassion, understanding and HUGS. Let’s get the truth out there. God, the greatest of all lovers…
