Improving my love of life…. through loving God, self and others
Each year we pull out all of the lights, decorations and garland to decorate for Christmas, like most folks. It is a tradition that I relish and my guy does not. This year was a little later than most because we were waiting for our girl to come home and help, she enjoys it about... Continue Reading →
I found this recipe on Vodka&Biscuits.com and my family loves it so much we have had it several times in the last couple of weeks. It's very flexible, I add more veggies than the recipe calls for, but it works! Baked Breakfast Greens 1/4 c diced onion 4 oz mushrooms (my addition) 2 garlic cloves, minced... Continue Reading →
I went to the community center to work out last week, I don't have a set schedule that I keep, so sometimes I work out first thing in the morning but I'm more likely to find my way there mid-morning or right at lunchtime. If I wait till much later in the day, I can talk myself... Continue Reading →
Shauna Niequist is an author who I follow, and she has amazing recipes along with powerful insight. This past week she posted a picture of this soup (which I am using) without sharing the recipe and I couldn't get it out of my head, so I found one on New Your Times recipe site by Mark Bittman....

Many people say they don't watch the news anymore because... Continue Reading →

Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours! Southern Sweet Potato Casserole 3 c sweet potatoes, cooked, mashed 1 c sugar... Continue Reading →
A couple of years ago I decided to tell my closest friend about a situation we were mired in with one of our teenagers. It was one of those issues with many layers; not my journey but I am greatly affected, not my deal but I can be judged for it, not my decisions but I... Continue Reading →
For several years now I’ve had a theory and I am not at all interested in having anyone debunk it. In the past I had heard of people noticing something unusual, and attributing it to God; a certain song is played, lights come on for no reason, a certain animal is seen….that kind of thing....

A few months ago I read about a 30 Day Prayer Challenge for wives to pray for their husbands. I pray for my guy on a regular basis; asking for safety and success and to be found favorable by his employers, to be a good dad and a faithful man of God. You know, rote words... Continue Reading →
