As I continue down this path to better health, I’m learning more and more about myself each day. Today I ventured out on another walk by myself. I’m rather enjoying these solo treks as they give me time to breathe, process, let go, pray and just BE. I decided to head to the high school…

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. …

There Will Be A Day…

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…

God’s Got This One…
I am a creature of habit. Everyday I take the same route to and from school. With several routes available, I stick to the same one. I do not notice detail. I can pass by the same object or place day in and day out and not notice some obvious detail. One late afternoon back…

Bucket List…
Do you have a bucket list? It seems to be what everybody is talking about… in the 40+ generation anyway. I don’t have an official list. I’ve been too busy living in the here and now, to think about what I want to do before I die. Now that I’m 50, I’m slowing down a…
