Thankful Thursdays

Posted on October 5, 2017 by Connie Perez

For what fuels our hope. My heart, like yours I’m sure, sinks every time a senseless, deadly act happens. Today it aches for those lost, and those who lost a loved one at the hands of this latest madman. Ugh, these things just chip away at my hope for a better world. But, this evil…

Thankful Thursdays

Posted on September 28, 2017September 28, 2017 by Connie Perez

For honor, gratitude, and a little common sense. We can protest all we want. We certainly live in the right country for that. I wish, however, a different form of solidarity would have been chosen for these days’ renewed and most passionate protest, because this one really has me baffled. It’s even, I think, doing more harm…

Posted on September 21, 2017 by Connie Perez

For electricity, ice, and lighted mirrors. Rough couple of weeks for many of us. But now, as normalcy has begun for most of us, we are reminded of how blessed we are to have some of the things we so often take for granted. I must say, these last few days, I was taken back…

Thankful Thursdays

Posted on September 14, 2017 by Connie Perez

Feeling very fortunate after that mad storm! We still don’t have power and the inconveniences have been many, but we are safe and sound. Neighbors, family, and friends, all coming together to lend a helping hand. How awesome to experience that. Our hearts and prayers go out to all those who were not as fortunate….

Coming at you late this morning, as we prepare for and deal with this little interruption called Hurricane Irma. Grateful to have one another to lean on while we weather this storm. And thanking God, in advance, for watching over us before, during, and after this hurricane. Stay safe everybody! What are you thankful for…

For helping hands. It’s been heartbreaking seeing the images coming out of Texas this week. Harvey surely made its presence known. But it’s been heartwarming to see so many people reach out to help those in need. That’s the spirit, planet Earth! Lots of prayers going out to all the victims. And many thanks to…

Thankful Thursdays

Posted on August 24, 2017 by Connie Perez

For a welcome reprieve. Last Monday felt like a normal day from some time ago even though we had a rare event taking place. The Great American Eclipse, which a lot of us were fortunate to view, lightened up our usually crappy news day and gave us some much needed relief from the dark issues…

Posted on August 17, 2017August 17, 2017 by Connie Perez

Wow, what the heck? People are being crazy and cruel. Some are ruining whatever they’re passionate about with negative and hurtful behavior, instead of turning all that energy into right action. Who or what are they letting rule their inner voice? You know, the voice – conscience – that God-given gift that guides us and…

For water.  Today, around 289,000 children under five die every year from diseases caused by poor water and sanitation. That’s almost 800 children per day, or one child every two minutes. [WaterAid.org Statistics]. Even sadder, is that I start to feel deprived if I think I have to go without a shower for a morning….

For friends. This Sunday is Friendship Day. A day when we celebrate old friends, new friends, long distance friends, close friends, those friends we see often, and those we see once in a blue moon. We celebrate, especially, those characters in our lives who stir our ambition, those who snap us back to reality, those…
