Thought for the Season: You can tell a lot about a person by the way they handle three things; a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. [ Borrowed] Guard your peace this holiday. May we be kind to ourselves and to others as we navigate the self-imposed complexities of the season. AsContinue reading “Friday’s Whisper”

Reflection of Me
It is my belief that plants were gifted to us as message of love from God. When you don’t know what to get me – get me plants. These were all gifted to me at some point, primarily by my students. It tells me that they hear me. This morning I glanced at the ‘lady’Continue reading “Reflection of Me”
He Lied
A few weeks ago I asked someone in my circle to do something – nothing really serious. He gave me the impression that he did when in fact he hadn’t done what I asked. It wasn’t a big deal, I moved on and got it done otherwise. The truth is, I was oblivious to theContinue reading “He Lied”
Shine Bright
A few Saturdays ago I attended an ornament exchange party with some beautiful ladies. There was a lot of laughter and childlike joy. I may be a bit partial, but as ladies we know how to have a good time with little or a lot. As ornaments were exchanged you got to see the personality andContinue reading “Shine Bright”
I Think I Get It
The older I get, the more I realize there’s a method to everyone’s perceived madness. If I take the time to listen, I might get it. Get why you do the things you do. Why you dance to the beat of your drum and don’t feel the need to explain your misunderstood insanity. At anotherContinue reading “I Think I Get It”
Lasting Memories
They say ‘memories don’t leave like people do – they always stay with you. Whether they’ve been good or bad’. Not sure how true this is. Christmas fell on a Sunday 2005, 2011, and 2016. Funny I tried so hard to remember what those Christmases looked like; I remember nothing. It could have been thatContinue reading “Lasting Memories”
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”
My Peace
A few years ago, I stopped by my neighbor for a quick minute; she was ‘cleaning house’. Meaning she was getting rid of everything that caused her undue stress. When her husband and son came home that evening, they noticed she was fully engrossed in the process and questioned her. She told them exactly whatContinue reading “My Peace”
