I remember taking a school field trip with my fellow classmates to the city known for freedom – Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. What impressed me the most was seeing the Liberty Bell with its infamous crack and reading the story behind it. When we were younger, did we really understand what freedom meant and how blessed we… Continue reading Freedom

Decision
How many decisions have you made in your lifetime? It doesn’t matter if you’re sweet 16 or in your 90’s, we make decisions every day of our lives. It may be as simple as “What should I have for breakfast this morning?” to the most important decision of our lives. “Should I go to college?” … Continue reading Decision
Women
You may assume you know where I’m going with this very special word, but I may disappoint you. Over the years when my husband and I were in business, I was responsible for all the sales and marketing in our firm. I attended many seminars and networking meetings, which were essential in establishing relationships and… Continue reading Women
Listen
Listening is a skill. Or is it? Maybe we need to look at it a little deeper than that. It is a skill that requires practice; however, I believe it also requires awareness.

Joy

I was always ready with my wise advice on some strategies to take; but little did I know it all finally caught up… Continue reading Awake
Bloom
It’s that time of the year (although Spring comes earlier here in the South)! After the dreary and quietness of the winter, whatever level of weather you experience, it’s the blooms on the barren trees, the daffodils and other bulbs peaking out of the earth, that give us a new spring in our step and… Continue reading Bloom
Adventure
Life is an adventure! I have been heard proclaiming this many times, while also comparing our life as a roller coaster ride. I can sense many of you are nodding in agreement. When someone recently shared that they were having a hard time convincing their spouse to downsize and sell their home, I suggested she… Continue reading Adventure
Believe
There are times in each of our lives when we all just need someone to believe in us. To believe in our value, to believe in our knowledge, or maybe just to understand and have faith in us. However, deep down in our soul, whether we recognize it or not, life is so much more… Continue reading Believe
