This is a ‘Feel-good Friday’ post. I’m almost sure my son will not read this- so here goes😊! I have always been intrigued with the innocence of childhood. The simple things that can bring a smile to child’s face. As I reflect on my childhood, I marvel at the how much fun we had doingContinue reading “Her Name Was Summer”

Behind The Smiles
I asked my friend’s permission to share this picture of her, her mom, daughter and grand-daughter. Four generations of beautiful women with delightful smiles. Behind the smiles is a wealth of experience, stories of grace, hope, love, redemption and restoration. Recently, I spoke with the youngest lady in the group on the phone. I askedContinue reading “Behind The Smiles”
He Writes
This is my totally self-absorbed, ‘feel-good’ Friday post.😘😊Nothing deep. Just skimming through some items from ‘my younger me ‘ days. I found some pieces of writing sent to me from an old love. We must have been 19 or 20 years old. Actually for a young chap – he could write. What do you think?Continue reading “He Writes”
The Missing Pieces
This is Father’s Day weekend. I thought long and hard about writing this post. Partly because I didn’t want to paint anyone in a bad light. After all for many, this is a celebratory weekend. The truth is most of my family don’t read what I write anyway- so here goes😎! First, let me applaudContinue reading “The Missing Pieces”
Prepare Me
Recently I had chat with a friend of mine who has been married for over thirty years. She mentioned how beautiful marriage was with all it’s challenges. It also requires hard work and people who are committed to the idea of working on themselves. This is part of the recipe for a lasting and fulfillingContinue reading “Prepare Me”
I’m Sure I didn’t
The older I get the more time seems to fly. It truly waits for no one. Moments come and go so quickly. One has to be intentional about seizing the moments. This picture was taken on the day I graduated from high school a few decades ago. These are two of my gal pals thatContinue reading “I’m Sure I didn’t”
Did I ?
I took this picture a few years ago as I sat in a classroom waiting for students to arrive. If I remember well, it was a group I was meeting for the first time. Yesterday, I stared at the picture and wondered about those students who graced the walls of this room. Those who satContinue reading “Did I ?”
Circle of Love
This may be your story – one of reconciliation and restoration. Isn’t this a thing of beauty? Love hopes all things – love never ends. Do you think you could try again? Forgive one more time. Open your arms to that ‘prodigal’. Extend grace one more time. Do you think you could? Just one moreContinue reading “Circle of Love”
Back Then
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”
