Second vs. Last…

It simply amazes me how we all view the world in different ways with different thoughts of optimism or negativism. My son loves board games and he and I were playing his antique board game, Jumanji, that I thankfully found at an antique store for $10.  Anyway, at the end of the game, my son was very excited because he…

Thank YOU, Veteran!

I was listening to Lee Greenwood performing “God bless the USA” and I just broke down in tears.  How can you not be moved by such powerful lyrics as I reflected on what this special day means personally to me! I have the opportunity, through my books, to express my love for Jesus by writing a memoir, poetry, suspense, biography,…

No price too high!

A lady found a piece of very expensive jewelry and really wanted to treat herself to it; however, she knew she needed to include her husband in this “major purchase” decision.  Unfortunately, he was going to be out of town for several weeks so she had to write him via text and asked if she could buy it.  He replied…

Oh, what does my fortune say?

I came across someone sharing their fortune with everyone on social media as if they held on to it for dear life that somehow they could find hope in a few short words like: A big surprise will come your way in the next few weeks You are destined to do great things You will find your soul mate in the…

Sometimes we need to say, “I am sorry”…

For most of us, our natural inclination is to move forward and blame.  It is so hard to step backwards and just apologize.  A huge lump in our throat can appear because it even feels uncomfortable saying. This is why I think it so much safer to become a better listener.  We have time to really think about what we…

“When I am in pain, you are there for me.”

As I was dropping off my 2nd grader today at school, we exchanged, “I love you’s”, and then she said, “Thank  you Mom for being there for me when I am in pain.”  AWE my heart felt like someone had poured some warm syrup on my melting heart! Earlier, before heading out to school, she felt a little tummy ache so…

Too Funny!…Eye Chart Test

We were at my daughter and son’s annual eye exam and so the eye doctor let my young daughter go first and then afterwards said to my son, 12 at the time, “Ethan are you ready for your eye test?”  Ethan replied, “Yes sir, Doctor.”  I could see a little fearful look come over his face.  All my  son held…

“Mom, I have the pluj!!??”

I was listening to one of my favorite cartoon characters saying, “Be wery wery quiet, I’m hunting wabbits!”…It brings an immediate smile because he is so cute and speaks so innocently and I just want to pinch his little cheeks. The other day, my son came and laid down beside me and said, “Mom, I am not feeling too good,…
