Thankful Thursdays

Posted on May 18, 2017 by Connie Perez

Because my life depends on it. Those of you who know me well, know I’m a fairly independent person. Well, except when it comes to bugs, then I fully lean on my hubby to save me. But, long ago I decided, as I heard it said the other day, to “let God out of my…

Thankful Thursdays

Posted on May 11, 2017 by Connie Perez

For motherhood. As we get ready to celebrate Mother’s Day this Sunday, I thank God for mine. For this powerhouse of a woman and everything she’s taught me. For her example of strength and faith, and unconditional love. And I thank God for, hands down, the most amazing gift I’ve ever received and will ever…

May the 4th be with you! Today, Star Wars fans everywhere (yours truly included), use this greeting throughout the day to celebrate this epic saga of good versus evil. Just one of those things we do. For me, though, this pun sparks an immediate reminder of a different kind of force – the grace, mercy,…

Thankful Thursdays

Posted on April 27, 2017 by Connie Perez

When you kick-start a 30-day squat challenge at work and 16 days into it your co-workers are still participating. And they still talk to you!  ?  Okay, so the legs are feeling the burn, but the blood is flowing and morale is good. So, well worth it. Surely, life has its ups and downs. In my…

Thankful Thursdays

Posted on April 20, 2017 by Connie Perez

For 275. It’s been said that “the hardest arithmetic to master is that which enables us to count our blessings.” True. Especially when one has been gifted so many of them. However, I do know today’s exact count: 275 consecutive “Thankful Thursdays” of sharing on Rx for the Soul some of these countless blessings. I…

Thankful Thursdays

Posted on April 13, 2017 by Connie Perez

For the holiest of days and the hope they instill. This week for me is not merely about a last supper, or a betrayal, or a crucifixion, or a resurrection. This week I believe is also about remembrance, forgiveness, sacrifice, and salvation — the culmination of successive miracles that give us hope, I feel. And…

Thankful Thursdays

Posted on April 6, 2017April 6, 2017 by Connie Perez

For hallway group hugs. The last member of the family strolls in late in the evening after class, one by one we meet up in the hallway where a long group hug turns into catching-up about our day: work, school, health, and upcoming plans. Some goofying around later, the gathering breaks up and we’re off…

Thankful Thursdays

Posted on March 30, 2017 by Connie Perez

Most grateful that there is a better place. Whenever someone dies, we take comfort in saying they’re “in a better place.” For those of us who truly believe, knowing that the end here is but the beginning elsewhere, is the stepping stone toward healing the unbearable pain from loss. Yesterday morning, my good and long-time…

Posted on March 23, 2017April 19, 2017 by Connie Perez

For a “beast” of a remake and a chance for Lauren and I to relive its enchantment. Recently, we watched the live-action retelling of my favorite Disney animated movie. The one I played over and over when Lauren was a baby. Okay, so I realize that that may have had something to do with her…

Posted on March 16, 2017 by Connie Perez

In the midst of parenthood, there are instances when a good parental moment meets an observant child. Saw this Twitter post from Lauren while the four of us were on a quick getaway this past weekend: It feels good when they notice the good stuff too. So thankful. “We’re [parents]) always bluffing, pretending we know…
