ššHappy Mother’s Day to ALL Women šš
One of my greatest joys in life has been to be a motherā¦.to my own children AND to those God put into my life āto motherā. Nothing is so dear as the results of a hug or a word of wisdom I shared with someone who needed that hug or word. It is so unique…
AnxIous? Try the “We” Partnership
Notice the letter in the middle of the word “anxious”? It’s an I. When I am solely handling MY affairs, when I am the one in charge, when I rely on myself for the outcome of MY decisions and plans, then I can easily get ANXIOUS about every-thing! I often fail to remember this walk…
Donāt Tell Me It Canāt Be Done
Those of us in the prime of life have seen wonders, miracles, and accomplishments beyond what we would ever have imagined when we were youngsters. Iāve been here long enough to have witnessed medical breakthroughs, major problems solved, and inventions that have made life better for us and now itās hard to imagine ever living…
Worship = Warning = Rewards
On Sunday, my blog was based on the Wise Menās words āWe have come to worship Him.ā I couldnāt resist ā one more blog about the Wise Men, their visit to the Holy Family and āworshipā. The final line of the scriptures of that story describes what happened, AFTER they worshipped the newborn King. āThen,…
Thereās Just Something About āThe Firstā
The first bicycle; the first dance, the first boyfriend, the first kiss, the first home, and the first child. Though the love is no stronger for any of my seven grandchildren from the other, there is still ājust somethingā about the FIRST. Who knew that all those silly, photo-toting, beaming-from-ear-to-ear, incessantly jabbering about their grandkids…

I know that this is āgame-onā week for all the culinary chefs out there ā from young, first-time Thanksgiving cooks who are entertaining their families and friends to those well-seasoned cooks who carry on their annual family traditions of tasteful food favorites. There is so…
Our Built-In Indicators
I sold my 11-year-old car. It was on its last leg ā rather, last engine. I have a sweet new ride. With it came some helpful safety features. Those safety indicators (cameras) tell me if thereās a car to the right or left of me, to NOT change lanes. It has front and back indicators…
Use It or Lose It
My mother, when she was 94 (now graduated to heaven), would tell her doctor: āThere are mornings when I just donāt want to get out of bed because everything hurts too much!ā And her doctorās response was: āWhen you stop forcing yourself to get out of bed, is when youāll be bedridden. If you donāt…
Is Your Prayer Closet Cluttered?
The answer to that question for me is āYes, it is!ā Now, I live in a downsized apartment and every closet is filled to the brim. So, I donāt really have a prayer closet. I have a prayer chair. Itās my cozy-down place, often taking a little shut-eye there, watching some TV there, but more…
Being Right Isn’t Always Right
After all these years of experience, handling so many challenges, weathering the many storms of life and still here to talk about it, youād think we should win every debate that comes our way. Case in point: My younger grandchildren have had their driversā licenses for just a while but now they seem to be…
