Improving my love of life…. through loving God, self and others
Recently we had some friends over for dinner and conversation. This group is made up of people from our church who have children in the tweens or teens stages and/or have been married 15+ years.

It's officially strawberry season, my daughter and I picked almost 20 pounds of 'em over the weekend! This is one of my favorite summer desserts because it's light, easy to make and has a great presentation. I found it on Allrecipes.com at least nine years ago and have made it so many times since then.... Continue Reading →

My friend Tamera recently posted a recipe for homemade Dark Chocolate and Sea Salt Kind Bars, my favorite, so I had to try them. Hers looked exactly like what you find in the packaging, mine did not. I didn't spread the mixture out quickly enough, so they became little clusters instead of bars, and I... Continue Reading →
There are articles and blog posts written about what not to say in times of suffering and how to walk alongside someone after a traumatic event, and when I read them I feel like I need to take notes and really watch my words. Then I am in a situation and can't really remember all... Continue Reading →
