This is a time of year when we can easily keep going like the energizer bunny. For the last few days, I found myself in that mode doing a lot of socializing – visiting here and there. Eating at hours that threw my body off a bit – I typically don’t eat at nights. WhileContinue reading “Recharge and Reset”

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.

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”
This Is Us
This is the time of year when family traditions raise their beautiful [ weird or crazy] heads. We either love them or hate them. They either make us smile, warm our hearts or make us cringe. Family traditions are often passed down if a person or persons in the family value them and puts inContinue reading “This Is Us”
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”
Here I am
December is one of my favorite months of the year for many reasons. Apart from coolness of the season, Christmas [and all that comes with that]; it is my birth month. Over five decades ago, my mother chose to give birth to me. I’m not sure what her frame of mind was at that momentContinue reading “Here I am”
In Pain
‘I am tired of posting condolences’. This was the sentiment expressed by a reader on social media recently. You may have had those same thoughts yourself too. My high school family has had it’s fair share of losses over the past year or two. Just this past week we lost an assistant manager to ourContinue reading “In Pain”
I Know What She Did…

He had gotten a number of scholarships to attend different colleges, but because of a girl he forfeited them and followed her to another college. He was then left with footing the bill for college after losing hisContinue reading “I Know What She Did…”
Who We Are
Many of us are very familiar with the story of David and Goliath. If you’ve never read it – please do [1 Samuel 17]. While many of us focus on the astounding feat of this fearless young boy, there are life-changing lessons to grab a hold of from this unassuming giant killer. The one whoseContinue reading “Who We Are”
I’d Rather
Woke up today to the sound of raindrops pitter-pattering outside. Glanced at the temperature, it was just about 64 degrees. The forecast says cloudy and I barely see the sun shining through. I am on Thanksgiving break and have no intention of doing much. Grateful to be alive and kicking at such a time likeContinue reading “I’d Rather”
