Yesterday while on a road trip, we stopped at a great rest area to stretch our legs and window shop. I came across these plaques in the household section in a popular store there. As they caught my eyes, I smiled. Words have so much impact on our moments. Has someone ever said something toContinue reading “I Needed That”

The Things I Do
Arguably, one of the most amazing gift we have been given in life is the gift of choice. We can do what ever we choose to do with our time. A wise king once said to the young, ‘Young people, it’s wonderful to be young! Enjoy every minute of it. Do everything you want toContinue reading “The Things I Do”
I Feel You
Today I watched a movie and saw someone in an emotionally raw state. You could almost taste the pain spewing out of his pores. Tears poured down my face as I felt every piece of his heart rupturing. And it was just a movie. Why did it jar my soul like that? Maybe because I’veContinue reading “I Feel You”
Yours or Mine
Recently I’ve had a few moments here in the Southeast when I felt like complaining about our 60 degree weather. Then a friend of mine shared this picture from her area in upstate New York.

All I Need
As a mom of two boys, I had front row seats to the battle with clutter. Toys, gadgets, clothes, and more toys. The second time around as a mom, I was over it in many ways. I realized my son never asked for the excesses. Many of the toys and gadgets were ignored after aContinue reading “All I Need”
The Sun Rises on Her

I suppose many of us have discovered that it’s not necessarily what others think about us that truly matters, it’s what we believe about ourselves. ThisContinue reading “The Sun Rises on Her”
