Improving my love of life…. through loving God, self and others
Improving your love life is an intentional exercise; it’s not something that just happens to you. It can be very easy to let time go by without regard to how we are spending it. I knew this was true for me, and I didn’t know how to determine if I was improving my lovelife, so... Continue Reading →
The news shows total devastation in and around New Orleans, receiving more than two feet of water from 36 hours of constant rain and powerful winds. Hurricane Isaac is going to be another storm to be remembered, for sure. I was running in my neighborhood yesterday and praying for the people of the Gulf, and... Continue Reading →
One of my favorite things about this time of year is the abundance of tomatoes, which means it is time to make the sauce! I get to pull out my Mamaw’s food processor from 1974 (seriously) and pulverize hundreds of tomatoes with onions, garlic, balsamic vinegar and fresh herbs. It cooks down for a couple...

My husband was watering the garden with me last week, and was in a hurry to be done with the chore. After producing great puddles around the thriving vegetables, he turned to the burned-up tomato plants and said, “We aren’t still watering these, are we?” I’m actually surprised he even asked, of course we are!...

Been to the vet lately? I know so many people who take better care of their pets than they do themselves; they faithfully take Fido in for checkups to prevent future problems, but have a dis-connect when it comes to their own health. There is no excuse for avoiding annual physicals. I don’t like going... Continue Reading →
About six years ago I committed to cooking breakfast for the family for one school year. I had been looking ahead to fall and spring sports and realized it would be difficult to get everyone around the dinner table each night (we’ve all read the research on how important this is, right?), so I thought...

There was a time in my marriage when I expected my husband to read my mind. We were one flesh, right? So he must know how I feel without me needing to explain and of course he knows what I want based on my subtle hints and clues….ha! Over and over again I would get... Continue Reading →
