Over 38 years ago, I was busy studying [ some of us were 😀] and getting ready to graduate high school. Not long ago, I looked back at an old diary. For the month of May and early June of that year, every day my entry included ..’studied and slept’. Wasn’t life simpler back then?😊Continue reading “Back Then”

Past Loves
Many of us got married to our high school and college ‘heart beats’. I didn’t. Did you? Recently I read some entries in an old diary. Many captured some of the goings on leading up to high school graduation. Many of you, your children and loved ones are now gearing up for the graduation season.Continue reading “Past Loves”
For That Moment
The lyrics of a popular ’80s song ran across my mind recently- ‘ I’ve been staring at your photograph, wondering where you’re at today’🎶. Have you ever thought about the people whose lives intertwined with yours over the years? If only for a season. Where are they? Recently I was skimming through an old diaryContinue reading “For That Moment”
Looking Back
This morning I picked up an old diary – 1983- to be exact. I turned to today’s date [ May 9th]; just like today Monday , May 9th. I was curious to see what was happening in my life then as a teenager. It wasn’t a lovely day. For some reason my mom was notContinue reading “Looking Back”
Same Steps
Legacy is an amazing thing! I went back to college a second time when my son was a baby. That’s me at my graduation, twenty-something years old and my son – 3 years old. In 2015, my son graduated from the same college. Here we are – I am sitting on the same steps bothContinue reading “Same Steps”

This story of love and legacy began way before I was born. It began in the 1950s, but was cemented in January,Continue reading “Legacy- Then and Now”
Still Standing
A former schoolmate of mine posted this picture and asked us to to title it. ‘Broken But Still Standing’. This was the thought that immediately came to mind as I looked at this house. This house that once was a home. Now broken, ignored, void of laughter and life, but still standing. As we celebrateContinue reading “Still Standing”
Play On

I have found however that music can take youContinue reading “Play On”
That Boy…
As I have decided to unpack some of my ‘buried treasures’, I also felt the need to reflect on some of the lessons I learned through the years. I will begin at a point when I first remember ‘walking through something’. As a young teenager, I met a boy who captured my heart. He heldContinue reading “That Boy…”
Just Me..
As a young girl I discovered that My amazing Father wanted to walk with me through this journey of life in an intimate way. He really listens and He gets me! I used to climb a tree in my front yard just as the sun was setting and talk with the One who loved meContinue reading “Just Me..”
