Improving my love of life…. through loving God, self and others
My guy and I are on a quest for better health. We have been incorporating more fruits and vegetables for three years now, but we are stepping it up in an effort to control cholesterol and triglycerides. For us, this has meant more natural foods and reading every label to choose lower sugar products. The time... Continue Reading →
As we were getting married, I looked around at all the other couples who were recently engaged. I remember thinking that if one of every two marriages end in divorce, who will fall? Out of the four sibling marriages within our two families, two would not make it, right? Everybody knows the statistic - 50% of all... Continue Reading →
Do you ever complain that your guy doesn't open up to you? I used to. We talked a great deal about daily life and I shared my feelings about every single thing, often feeling frustrated that he didn't seem very interested, and then irritated that he didn't share his own. I tried everything; I asked... Continue Reading →

It is that time again, the season to be thinking of all the ways to improve in life with New Year’s resolutions, when in reality maybe we need New Life resolutions. I don’t need lofty goals at the beginning of the year that... Continue Reading →
Every night while I am cooking dinner, this happens. The dogs rush outside to play for about three minutes and then stand at the door, waiting to come back inside. Meanwhile, the two cats are keeping guard at said door, waiting to launch themselves outside, over or under the dogs. Sometimes I will get a... Continue Reading →
Laura became my friend about two and a half years ago, moving into our town with her guy and their four children. Like me, she is a corporate wife. This means that she has lived in numerous cities, and is adept at learning a new place and finding the right schools, church, doctor, dentist, hair salons and... Continue Reading →
Recently some old friends were in town for the weekend. It was a great visit and after we had discussed all the current events and gotten caught up on family news, one of my pals mentioned that she had never heard the whole story of how my guy and I met, dated and married, and... Continue Reading →
