Somewhere after I turned 45, comfort became the reason behind my choice of clothing. While I loved looking cute and all dolled-up, I was over uncomfortable clothing. My body parts had suffered enough including my feet. Today, I love anything that hugs me beautifully and reflects the kind of girl I am. Beyond the garbContinue reading “Beautifully Clothed”

Life’s Lessons
We often hear, ‘be careful what you wish for- you just might get it!’ To be purified and refined requires walking through some stuff. Most of us yearn to be a ‘better me’ – we desire growth and maturity. God’s way to get us there isn’t always easy. While we may prefer a cruise ship,Continue reading “Life’s Lessons”
All I Need
As a mom of two boys, I had front row seats to the battle with clutter. Toys, gadgets, clothes, and more toys. The second time around as a mom, I was over it in many ways. I realized my son never asked for the excesses. Many of the toys and gadgets were ignored after aContinue reading “All I Need”
I Remember
The things we hate to remember and love to forget often follow us around hidden in little pockets somewhere deep in our hearts and minds. The image of a man in blue oxford shirt and a khaki pants floating in the air on 9/11 can’t leave my mind – no matter how much I scrubContinue reading “I Remember”
The Now
This weekend past, I stood in a cemetery with some special people. We watched some workmen labor to prepare loved ones graves for headstones. These were our loved ones. Their lives mattered and they were loved. I watched them in their lifetime sow seeds and make deposits that are still paying dividends today. Their prayersContinue reading “The Now”
The Sun Rises on Her
So often women [and men] struggle with their sense of worth and value. Words spoken and received have a way of ‘manipulating’ our thought patterns for good or bad. I suppose many of us have discovered that it’s not necessarily what others think about us that truly matters, it’s what we believe about ourselves. ThisContinue reading “The Sun Rises on Her”
I Found Out
The more I focus on me – my chaos, my needs, my pain and struggles- the less I see the God who is the solution to life’s discord. I was reminded today that God is not being vain or egocentric when He asks us lift our voices in worship to Him – to make itContinue reading “I Found Out”
Worth a Thousand Words and More
Old man time waits for no one. He comes does his thing and moves on. We are often left wondering about the ‘what ifs’ ,’ the wish I had’ and ‘if I had I known’. For some reason, though we say it, sadly we don’t treasure the moments the way we should. Time and timeContinue reading “Worth a Thousand Words and More”
What She Might Say
Last night as I stood at the kitchen sink, my mind reflected on Lolita Porter. Mother, friend, confidant, warrior and support to many. A wife to one. This past week was the first anniversary of her transition from earth. Lolita saw her children and grandchildren kept alive by the grace of God. None were lost.Continue reading “What She Might Say”
