I had never been with anyone in the last few days before their passing on to their eternal home… It was early Thursday morning when the call came in. My father-in-law was very close to the end. I had never experienced a call like that. I didn’t know how to feel. Does anyone? My husband […]
We all need inspiration. And every now and then you are so inspired YOU MUST share. That is the case today. I am truly inspired and humbled by Shelly Longenecker, friend, author, mom, cancer fighter. She created 100 Days of Biblical Affirmations to help herself during her cancer struggle and these affirmations are helping and […]
I was meeting a friend at church because we would be driving together to go to an event. As I got into my over 15-year-old car I thought, “I love this car.” I’ve always had a bit of a love affair with my car. It’s small, gets good gas milage, and it was oh so […]
Feeling alone is one of the worst places to be. Feeling alone in your marriage can be excruciating. One can think, “I am married. I am supposed to feel loved and cared for, and yet, I feel alone and hopeless.” What is a woman to do? You love your husband and would never want to […]

Christmas is such a buildup. We prepare, we dream, we overindulge, we anticipate, we decorate, we shop, we celebrate, we say goodbye. The saying goodbye part for me is always the worst part of Christmas every year. At some point the celebrating ends and normal life resumes. One of my favorite Christmas movies is Elf […]
Our tow truck driver had multiple tattoos on his face but the one that stood out was the cross on his forehead—I knew there had to be a story there. Our day started off great. We dropped my husband’s car off at the mechanic for routine upkeep and headed out in my husband’s beloved truck, […]
“Bad Mommy!” “You’re a bad Mommy!” Those were the screams of my grandson to his mom and my daughter. Full discloser: I thoroughly enjoyed his heckling of his mom. I had heard many “mean girl” antics from my daughter while raising her. And she turned out great. Why was he calling her names? He didn’t […]
I recently watched the new Cinderella movie—don’t worry I won’t ruin the movie for you, but I will say I absolutely loved it.
