Improving my love of life…. through loving God, self and others
Our dog Jade came into our life from a rescue organization about eight months ago. She is a German Shepherd with the typical long, lean body and stern gaze.

Last Christmas I received a text from a number I didn’t recognize, from a state I haven’t resided in for more than twenty years.

“Junior quit his naps when he was 9 months old. I just couldn’t get him to sleep anymore.” Seriously? Our oldest child fought sleep every chance she got for her first few years. Knowing her now, I realize it was because she was afraid she might miss something while she was sleeping. To this day,... Continue Reading →
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 →
