Love is the Answer to EVERYTHING
News Flash! This is the last day of February, the month of LOVE. But let’s be clear — love doesn’t have an expiration date. We don’t pack it away like Christmas decorations, only to bring it out next year. Love is our anthem. Love is our mission. Love is our every-single-day lifestyle. So why have…
Love is in the Air — So Let’s Breathe It In!
Love is in the Air — So Let’s Breathe It In! Ah, February — when store shelves explode with pink and red, the floral businesses boom, and the airwaves are drenched in love songs. And speaking of love songs, my heart can’t help but do a little two-step when I hear Tom Jones…
February is often called the month of love. Hearts, flowers, and sweet sentiments fill the air, reminding us to cherish those we hold dear. But love is more than roses and chocolates. It is presence, it is care, it is walking with one another through both joy and sorrow. We all were jolted when tragedy…
This is the first day of February and it’s the “Love Month”! Oh, how I anticipated February 14th in my younger school-days. I had diligently AND carefully designed my Valentines’ shoe box. I could hardly wait to slide my cards into my friends’ boxes. It was also the day that we could devour yummy cupcakes,…
The last two days I’ve been blogging about “coming clean” in our lives, even to the point of having a heavenly spotlight that reveals the crud inside us. AND, that is opening up the “cover-ups”!

Because of our electricity going out at my apartment community from the ice storm, my children encouraged me to come to their home to stay. I didn’t hesitate. It was especially wonderful to be there for a yummy roast dinner AND enjoy the company of Shawntel’s dad and wife. Honestly, since they married seven years…
President Gerald Ford officially recognized February as Black History Month in 1976, calling upon the public to “seize the opportunity to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of Black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history.” I lived during the era of despicable racism and marginalization against Black Americans. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “dream”…
I just took down January’s door decor and up goes February’s! I’m pulling my “female” card. Yes, I am a woman and I am subject to CHANGE daily. I can CHANGE my mind about this or that. I can CHANGE clothes – just because I want to. I can CHANGE occupations (and I did). I’m…
February’s last day! Tomorrow March will be “marching on”!Here in Austin, we had several days of below freezing weather last week. It was so cold, my grandson’s baseball tournament in Fredricksburg, TX for the weekend was canceled. I didn’t mind. It was way too cold for comfort! My family in Winnipeg Canada are rolling their…
This Love Month is coming to a close tomorrow. So, I need to squeeze in one more blog that accentuates God’s love for us and our love for Him. The title of this blog was a quote by St. Augustine. I thought “Did I hear that right? Do whatever I want?” How can that be?…
