This marks the last few days of May. As we move into the coming months, many of us have to make some major decisions. In my previous post, I mentioned that the end of the school year can signify the end of a season and the beginning of another. For some it breeds excitement, othersContinue reading “Not All Will Believe”

Pure Joy
One of the millennials in my life recently shared this picture. The moment I saw it, my immediate response was ‘pure joy’. This was laughter that came from a deep place. I didn’t get permission to share her name, so I’ll call her ‘ Serenity’. This was a moment filled with true joy. ‘Serenity’ madeContinue reading “Pure Joy”
Watch Your Ears
Some years ago, I sat in a managers’ meeting along with the company director and my immediate supervisor. As the meeting was coming to an end an employee’s name became the subject of the conversation. At that time our division was numbers and performance driven; quality control was also extremely important. As the conversation draggedContinue reading “Watch Your Ears”

Recently I was with a friend when someone called her and said, “ I need to confess my sins.” She proceeded to share her perceived shortcomings. After their conversation, my friend walked over to me and confessed hers. Earlier on that morning I had unburdened my heart of mine. After receiving a few phone callsContinue reading “My Sins Are Many”
What Once Was
I was in a NYC airport yesterday when two things caught my eye. There was a beloved pay phone—one I haven’t seen in a while. Without saying, I had to snap a shot of it. My grandchildren will undoubtedly have know idea what one looks like; thought I’d capture it for them. Truth be toldContinue reading “What Once Was”
Someday
I live in a community with a beautiful melting pot of cultures. This past week I had the opportunity to hang out with a group of people from a different culture. We spoke a different language, played games differently, cooked and ate differently. Despite a difference in lifestyle, we connected for a moment in timeContinue reading “Someday”
No Strings Attached
The story was told of a great football coach of a university in California who had a son who also played on the university’s team. The son was an amazing athlete and quite successful at the sport. A news reporter commented on how proud he must be of his son’s accomplishments. The coach gave oneContinue reading “No Strings Attached”
Seasons Change
This week I heard a song for the first time and it piqued my interest somewhat – ‘A Different Kind of Christmas’ by Mark Shultz. I thought the lyrics were quite touching and probably resonated with a lot of people this year. This season might look different for a variety of reasons – a seatContinue reading “Seasons Change”
How Did You Know?
Have you ever had some moments in life when you just know? You knew something was right. It is very hard to explain why you knew, but you just knew. You knew it was the right house, the right car, or the right moment. You knew he or she was the right one. That momentContinue reading “How Did You Know?”
