STORIES AND REFLECTIONS
For family reunions. It was long overdue, but this past Saturday, thankfully, we were able to gather for a family reunion, albeit minus a handful of members. I will tell you that those not there in body where most definitely there in spirit, as their presence was strongly felt. Getting a big group together for…
For goals we can be proud of. It’s a brand new year, so do you have any new goals? Or maybe you’re continuing to work on a prior one? I’ve never been much of a resolutions person myself. Most of the time it’s a wish that’s too vague and so I easily tire. That’s why…
Happy New Year! Family and friends, I hope all of you had a wonderful end to 2019. So now a new year begins and, as usual, we start this one ready and willing to live it out. Let’s keep a grateful heart, shall we? With that in mind, I challenge us to zero-in on what…
For another year with those I love. So far, 2019 has brought everything but the kitchen sink (that’s too bad since I’ve been wanting to replace mine). I don’t know about you, but I’m exhausted! Certainly, if Baby Yoda could talk, he’d say “this a boring year, was not.” While I am thankful that God…
For time off…and the spirit of Christmas. I’m on holiday, which means I’m off from work. Lovely. [And binge-watching “The Crown”]. Holiday, vacation, break, whatever term we use for it, it’s always nice to have one. And for that, I’m grateful. I want to take this Thankful Thursday opportunity to wish you and your families…
For the most precious gifts of all. During the past few weeks, most of us have been on Christmas shopping mode. Hopefully, you are done fulfilling that list. I am, I think. So that now we can get on attention mode. First, attention to the real meaning of Christmas: that God gave us Jesus. The…
For mind stimulants. Relax, in this case, I’m referring to quotes. Throughout my time as a blogger/writer, I have shared a zillion of them. I’m sure you’ve noticed. These perfectly worded sentences often make us think about things in a new or different way. Sometimes, they can even teach us a thing or two about…
For all the blessings. Every Thursday throughout the year I post about gratitude. Sometimes it’s gratitude for big things, and sometimes it’s for small things. On this, the grandest Thankful Thursday of the year, let’s be thankful for ALL the blessings – – the small ones, the big ones, and those in between. Family and…
For those who help us out. I think you’d agree that between home and work, we all live pretty hectic lives. So it’s great when we have people in our lives who help us along the way. My husband and kids are atop that list. Their support is invaluable. But, today I wanted to give…
For Miggy’s Gift. I am a firm believer that in life, out of pain comes purpose. Two years ago, my cousin lost her 29 year old son, Stephen, to melanoma. During his short, but purpose-filled fight with cancer, he saw the need for hospital gowns that would better fit patients receiving infusion treatments, specifically children….
