Improving my love of life…. through loving God, self and others
Recently we had some friends over for dinner and conversation. This group is made up of people from our church who have children in the tweens or teens stages and/or have been married 15+ years. We had an agreed upon topic to discuss before hand, and this time it was 'Handling Success'. There is... Continue Reading →
Fireworks are not my favorite. Actually, fireworks in Nebraska really irritate me. When living in other places, I used to love driving to a park nearby, pulling out a blanket and sitting on a slope or the back of a pick-up and watching a town put on it's best show of the year to celebrate...

We were in Minnesota for almost ten years, many years longer than I've lived anyplace my entire life. The state was a difficult one for us because we are Southern through and through and Minnesota is not.

I have mentioned before that I attend a dance class at my local gym a couple of times a week. What started out as an exercise in humility turned into a real workout where I have the opportunity to move in a way I rarely do in life. The instructor is my age but she's... Continue Reading →
Remember this movie? There was a lot of meat in the message of acceptance of others, but what I remember most was this scene, the way that Carol completely hears and listens to Simon. There is a difference, you know. She pulled the car off the road in order to absorb the words and the... Continue Reading →
I am not a morning person. I wish I could spring out of bed with a clear head and a smile on my face, but usually it takes me a while to even realize what day it is and what might be expected of me. After a cup or two of coffee, I'm in pretty good shape... Continue Reading →
In my early twenties, I had a job where I worked in an office with three other women. Our boss was twice my age, very fit and energetic and seemed to check me out head to toe each morning as I arrived at work. She would comment on my outfit or jewelry, in that way... Continue Reading →
