One Saturday morning I took a quick trip to a neighborhood supermarket. As I walked towards the entrance, I saw a couple with a young toddler. The baby caught my attention and I said hello to her. I think that probably made the man feel comfortable enough to approach me. He asked if I knewContinue reading “In the Parking Lot”

Connect
There’s beauty in connecting with others whose heartstring are tied to yours in different ways. We may not always agree on everything but who does. Something bigger knits us together. In a world that is becoming increasingly divided, I choose to swim upstream. I’ll keep the circle unbroken. If we focus a little more onContinue reading “Connect”
My First
Ignorantia juris non excusat. Ignorance of the law is no excuse. Or in my case – not paying attention is no excuse. That is how I got my first traffic citation – moving violation. A year or two after I moved to my community they added a new sign – ‘Right Turn Only’ -to oneContinue reading “My First”
Then and Now
He’s now in his early 30s and I am no longer in my 20s. He now makes way more money than I do and for some reason thinks he’s smarter. Thankfully, time has been kind to us both. As we watch our children come into their own, we often wonder where the time went. SeasonsContinue reading “Then and Now”

This is sunset in my native country. The day is drawing to an end. Sometimes when things approach their end, we can relax, reflect, and enjoy all that was accomplished. Other times the end brings a lingering sense of disenchantment and disappointment. As the year slows to an end, many are restless with dreams orContinue reading “Another Day in Waiting”
Give Me Both
Being an island girl, I was blessed to have experienced and embraced both the beach and the mountains. I choose not to choose between the two. They both take me to beautiful places in body, mind and heart. Blessed to have attended a high school with a mountain view, I fell in love with theContinue reading “Give Me Both”
Life’s Lessons
We often hear, ‘be careful what you wish for- you just might get it!’ To be purified and refined requires walking through some stuff. Most of us yearn to be a ‘better me’ – we desire growth and maturity. God’s way to get us there isn’t always easy. While we may prefer a cruise ship,Continue reading “Life’s Lessons”
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”
Just Do It
I love pineapple. From a child it has been one of my favorite fruits. Peeling a pineapple, however, has always appeared a bit too much for me. For some reason I felt that the skin was too prickly and I couldn’t be bothered. As a result I always bought the peeled ones, spending much more.Continue reading “Just Do It”
