Have you ever said to your spouse or kids, “Honey can we sit down and listen to each other?” Or are we used to saying, “Honey can we sit down and talk?” Ouch! We are made up of a society who wants to have the last word and social media is proof of this very thing. How much more value…

Are you a taker or receiver?
How would you describe yourself if asked, “Are you a taker or receiver?”…. When someone goes to give you something, do you use one hand or two hands when taking?… I heard a beautiful sermon and it really made me think. If we reach out with one hand, we are more selfish as if to say, “Give it to me,…
What will not get rejected?…
A compliment….Out of the blue can you give one today? An authentic sincere compliment because we should never feel afraid to make someone feel special inside.

What kind of A.R.K. will you build?
What kind of A.R.K. will you build? What kind of Acts of Random Kindness will you build this week? Would you build an ARK in a stranger life’s?

I want to share a poem from my book, Potter’s Hand Poetry and since it was one of my favorites, I have added in my memoir too about…
Valentine’s Day Challenge: Kindness Counts
I have a challenge I want to pose this Valentine’s Day to make 2016 the best Valentine’s Day for many people…what you ask? Good. I was pondering, like most, what in the world would I get this husband of mine because for goodness sake, we just celebrated Christmas. It occurred to me….the most beautiful gift at Valentine’s Day, since it…
The “awe” of the paintbrush…
Yesterday was another day of rushing out the door to get two kiddos to school on time….But, God had a way to slow me down as I had an “awe” moment of the majesty of his paintbrush. As I was pulling out the long driveway, I saw off to the left side the most beautiful lavender sky in the sunrise! I…
