I question the truth in the quote, “A picture is worth a thousand words.” Standing at the edge of the Grand Canyon, I couldn’t resist taking pictures from every angle, attempting to capture the different shades and angles of the light streaming through the trees, against the formed rock structures, not to mention the textures… Continue reading Grand

Favored
The word favored came to me during a conversation I had with a close friend. She spoke that specific word as she shared her story, and I quickly scribbled it on a piece of paper beside me, because I felt it was of significant importance. How much of a priority is it in our life… Continue reading Favored
Fly
The first time I flew on a commercial airplane was our honeymoon. Frankly, I didn’t know what to expect. Luckily my new groom knew the ropes a lot better, and I just followed his lead. I was a little unnerved when there was, what I considered, turbulence while flying. Again, my husband didn’t seem concerned… Continue reading Fly
Wise
What is the first image that comes to mind when you hear that word? It’s an easy answer for me – the three wise men following the star. For many, once Christmas Day is over, that is the end of the season. Trees and decorations get taken down, music on the radio returns to “normal”… Continue reading Wise
Yes
I know this may sound crazy, but I still love it when my husband, out of the blue, announces, “I’ve got a good idea.” I guarantee you, my eyes will light up, excited to hear what his idea is, even after 50+ years from when we first met. It may be surprising me with a… Continue reading Yes
Born
I think it’s pretty safe to say that none of us remember what it was like when we were born. What a magical moment it was when you came into this world, took your first breath and used those lungs to let the world know you had arrived. We wouldn’t remember being wrapped in a… Continue reading Born
Still
When I heard one of my favorite Christmas songs playing yesterday, I had the thought of using this word in the message to you beginning this third week of Advent. However, when I consulted my spreadsheet of words used, (can you believe that?) I found I used that word last year around this time, mainly… Continue reading Still
Connection
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
