For Halloween memories. Yikes! Halloween crept up on us, and once again it’s time to dress-up and pretend, and eat too much candy. Yes, the kids too, of course. What a strange tradition this holiday is. I remember well my introduction to it. As a nine-year old, coming to a new country without my parents…

For what makes us feel good. There’s quite a bit in our lives that can make us feel bad. Matters involving health issues, financial difficulties, and job burnout usually top the list. Then there’s the stuff we bring on ourselves: comparing our lives to others’, adopting bad habits, making excuses, over-watching the news….All of this…

For strangers’ kindness. I’ve written in the past about “paying it forward” and what a great thing that can be. Well, during our recent trip, we had occasion to be on the receiving end. While having breakfast at the hotel first day into our vacay, we were approached by a couple who offered us their…

For the great outdoors. Life is good where the Wi-Fi is weak. A week thus far full of adventure, bucket list check offs, and challenges met. Here, where the days begin with breathtaking views of nature and end with unobstructed views of the galaxy, I am surrounded by the beauty, power, and magnificence of God’s…

For 400. In February of 2012, when I set out to post weekly writings that focused on gratitude, I didn’t think I would still be at it seven and a half years later. My intention was to share with you something for which I was thankful that day, and in the process maybe prompt you…

That we always have something to give. As you know, during the last few weeks, I’ve been fundraising for the St. Jude kids. A lot of you have donated, and I am so grateful to you. But, today, I just want to put out there that our supporting a cause and helping others is not…

For what points me true north. In 1925, in his weekly newspaper, Mahatma Gandhi once published a list referred to as The Seven Social Sins. The list was first mentioned in a sermon delivered by Anglican priest, Frederick Lewis Donaldon, and it mentions seven factors that harm society: Wealth without work. Pleasure without conscience.

For parental gardening. A couple of nights ago, I was giving my daughter some suggestions and advice on a topic we’ve discussed many times before, and the following exchange took place: Lauren:  “I know, I know, you’ve told me that, and that’s what I’m doing.” Me:        “Fine, but I will continue to remind you….

How would you like to help save a child’s life? Here’s yet another opportunity knocking on your door. When I think about the challenges faced by cancer-stricken children and their families, I feel so fortunate for the simple things in my life. And I am inspired by the difference we can all make through organizations…
