Improving my love of life…. through loving God, self and others
A couple of times a year I get the opportunity to be tutored by a spiritual mentor. She is a speaker on subjects like marriage, love and the transforming power of Jesus in our lives – some things that I’m pretty interested in! This mentor lives in another state, but visits us en route to... Continue Reading →
Who do you want to be like when you grow up? Tell her, and if she’s not already, ask her to mentor you. This doesn’t have to be a formal relationship where she downloads all her knowledge to you on Tuesday afternoons, it can be as simple as taking a walk together and asking her... Continue Reading →
“He’s perfect and we named him Nathan!” My best friend had just called from several states away to tell me her incredible news, and I could hear the love and excitement through the phone line. I had only seen her once during her first pregnancy because we moved away the year before, but she kept... Continue Reading →
I was sitting with friends last night after dinner, but right before the fireworks. We were still at the table, me with two couples. A woman said that she had never given marriage a thought until she met her husband and the other woman said to the first woman’s guy, “Oh, you ruined her!” We... Continue Reading →
Many years ago we lived in Connecticut, when our children were very young, preschool aged. It was our first experience in New England, a place not known for friendliness and hospitality, and it was a hard time in my life. Annoyance and anger seemed to be just below the surface, ready to bubble up and... Continue Reading →
A few years ago my son came home from playing at a friend’s house with a hurt toe. He had dropped a weight on it, and thought he had broken it. He mentioned going to the doctor but since he didn’t make a big deal of it, neither did I, until I noticed that it... Continue Reading →
Several years ago I went back to the workplace after being at home with our children for about ten years. A close friend had started a company and it was beginning to take off, so as our last child entered school, I re-entered the workforce on a part-time basis. It was an office job in...

We had a graduation party for our oldest this past weekend; family and friends came from several states away and our girl was grandly celebrated. What could have been a tense situation, because of divorce, was actually an opportunity to bring about closure. Everyone was on their best behavior, and thankfully our daughter was able...

When we were first married, my guy and I lived in a small remote town in a state where we knew no one. This was ideal for us because we had a lot of issues to work through in the first couple of years of marriage, and only each other to turn to. After the... Continue Reading →
I work closely with a woman who struggles to tell the truth. I’m not saying she lies about everything, but our perceptions of most events are vastly different. She recounts incidents with coworkers without remembering that I was there at the time, and the tone of voice/motivations/actual words are completely different than what I heard,...
