Decorating for Christmas is not an easy, one day, event in our home, especially when it comes to opening the bins that were packed away containing all the extension cords for our holiday lights. I’ve tried many times to avoid this frustrating task by busying myself with other “chores” while my husband starts the process… Continue reading Connection

Arrival
I was sitting here waiting for the stain to dry on the project my husband and I were working on. Boom! Then suddenly Advent was on my mind, realizing it would be here before I knew it. What does this special time of the year mean? I looked up the definition which inspired me right… Continue reading Arrival
Warmth
The word “warmth” takes me back to my childhood. With colder weather approaching (yes, even here in Florida), I am reminded of the warmth I experienced, living in our family’s two-story row home during the winter months. Growing up, I would very often squeeze behind our living room couch and put my, then petite, frame… Continue reading Warmth
News
It seemed like a strange word to focus on, but when a past experience jumps immediately into your mind, you know that you should listen. Aren’t we always praying for good news? It may be for a successful outcome of a surgery for a loved one, or the hope of receiving good news that your… Continue reading News
Easy
My mind rushes back to a time when my husband and I embarked one of the biggest challenges of our lives, starting and running a small business together. It was exciting at the beginning, but through many tears, trials and roadblocks, (entwined I admit with many blessings too) there was a time when we almost… Continue reading Easy
Calling
The word calling brings back an instant memory for me. As a child I loved to play outside. I am probably dating myself, but I loved playing hopscotch, roller skating, and other silly games with my friends. Of course, my mom would always call me to come inside for dinner. Many times, I knew she… Continue reading Calling
Accept
I stare at this word again for a couple of minutes, remembering I had written this quite a while ago. What does it mean to accept every day the life with which we have been blessed? I mean every single piece of it, every moment. Not only accepting, but is it done with joy, no… Continue reading Accept
Baseball
Well, that word came out of left field. (Sorry - I couldn't resist that one.) It is that time of the year when the best teams are striving for that coveted title of world series champion. To achieve that, it's necessary that every single player from each team uses their talents, whether their skill is… Continue reading Baseball
Oceans
Ocean - Just hearing that word whispered to me can send my soul into a start of calmness. For me the rise and fall of these vast waters and the sounds of the crashing waves have been known to lull me to sleep. Can you recall your first encounter with the ocean waves dancing over… Continue reading Oceans
Marathon
First, let’s get this straight with regards to whether I’ve ever run a marathon. These legs of mine don’t like to run, unless someone is chasing me, or my eye spots an ice cream establishment. However, I greatly admire and respect those that have met this challenge. If you and I put our heads together,… Continue reading Marathon
