Improving my love of life…. through loving God, self and others
A woman was telling me recently how much she wished her husband would lead their family; she was so tired of being the ‘spiritual leader’ of their home but he was resistant, so she often took the reins. We talked about ways to give up the need to lead and give him time to take... Continue Reading →
We have a special German Shepherd who joined our family a year 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 organization, apparently she has quite an abusive background, but no specific... Continue Reading →
The piano tuner spent the morning at my house yesterday. He was here just six months ago and at that time we made an appointment for this week. He didn’t call to make sure I would be home and he arrived twenty minutes early. When I opened the door, he walked right in and began... Continue Reading →

Like most people, my family likes to pitch in and help when there is a need. We take food to neighbors when they celebrate, heal and mourn. We help move families into new homes and babysit so couples can connect. When our children grow out of their clothes, I like to hand someone bags of... Continue Reading →
I’m in Investments, you? I actually said this recently as I was meeting someone new. There is pressure to have a title ready when asked what you with your time; a concise declaration of who you and what matters to you without too much information attached. My education isn’t in the area of business, and... Continue Reading →
For a long time, I thought that sex was a cat and mouse game played by husband and wife. I’m not sure where I got this idea, but it seemed to me that it was the man’s job to chase the woman around the kitchen, flirting and persisting, until the woman became worn down enough... Continue Reading →
