Improving my love of life…. through loving God, self and others
Last year I started my tomato plants from seed. It was this time of year but much sunnier and warmer than now, and I was very optimistic. I placed a lot of seeds into those little squares of dirt and willed them to grow. I cheered them on as they broke through the soil and... Continue Reading →
For as long as I can remember, I have known what time it is. What I mean is that I can usually guess the current time, often to the minute, no matter what. This hasn’t been a particularly useful skill because I tend to be late for almost everything I do, and it sure doesn’t... Continue Reading →

We have a new puppy in our house. Jade is a one year old german shepherd who joined our family about 3 months ago. We were not looking for another pet, but Jade captured our hearts as soon as we saw her, and we made plans to make her ours. Jade is from a rescue... Continue Reading →
It’s the season to be thinking of all the ways to improve in life and we are reading arguments for and against New Year’s resolutions, when in reality we need New Life resolutions. I don’t need lofty goals at the beginning of the year that will just make me feel bad about myself when I... Continue Reading →

It consisted of flying into Vegas, driving to the North side of the Grand Canyon, hiking 25 miles through the canyon to the South side and then driving to Scottsdale, AZ to fly home....
