Honest and Real and Raw…
Christmas letters. That one time each year that you can summarize all of the fabulous things that have happened in your life over the past 12 months in one cheery, perfect message! Susie made the Honor Roll… again… and had the lead in the school broadway production. Jimmy was voted MVP in each of his…

Beautiful…
What defines beauty? What qualities deem one beautiful? Recently on FB, there is a game (for lack of a better term) going around. If you are tagged, you are asked to post five photo’s of yourself in which you feel beautiful. I have only seen a few people take on the challenge. Is that because…

The Mix of Life’s Emotions…

Social media is changing the way we live. The way we view life. The way we view people around us. We all want to present well. We generally don’t tweet or post the ugly stuff in our lives. We post the good stuff. The happy times. That one photograph that can make everyone think we’ve…

Believe… Even When It’s Difficult
What do you do when life does not go the way you expect it to? When it throws you a curve ball so curvy that you can’t even begin to catch it? When it was thrown so hard it knocks you off balance? You spin, you whirl, you wobble, you fall. You fall down hard. …

So Why the Yellow Towel?
I took it from the rag pile. A small butter yellow bath hand towel. Faded from years of use and occasional bleaching. The edges were tattered. It would be perfect to wipe down the newly cleaned bathroom fixtures. I walked into the bathroom and laid the yellow towel on the counter. Suddenly the memories came…

Do you ever feel like you know too much? Overwhelmed with health and wellness advice? Hearing in the news what’s good for you and what’s not? Hear about the side effects of medication made to help you? Read about the latest and greatest way to eat? At this juncture in my life I feel overwhelmed…

One minute everything seems to be okay. Life seems quiet. No storms. Just when you think things are quieting down… taking a turn in the right direction. Then the phone rings late. I can hear a voice talking loudly on the other end. The curtain has once again come down. I crawl into bed, hoping…
