Improving my love of life…. through loving God, self and others
I love this picture. Yes, it's not great quality, too bright, taken through a glass door and you can't really make out the people in it. But my heart can. You see, our youngest has had a tough year. She's at the age where life is harder than ever before; choices are more important with... Continue Reading →
Do you remember the first time you experienced real hunger? I grew up in a home that had plenty of food and access to it was a priority. I remember on family trips, my Mom would pack sandwiches and snacks, and we would pull over at a rest stop to eat at a picnic table... Continue Reading →

Why is it that when my guy and I are driving to a restaurant across town, it is so hard for me to let him go the route he chooses to take without offering ‘help’? I second guess him, offer suggestions or completely tell him he’s chosen poorly sometimes. Why do I do this? Why... Continue Reading →
