Nativity
It’s that time of the year again, although the stores and television commercials seemed way ahead of me. For my husband and I, it’s been a week of busyness, pulling out the many, familiar plastic bins and boxes full of carefully wrapped Christmas decorations and ornaments. I must admit, especially as we age, this time… Continue reading Nativity

During our conversation, after each question we… Continue reading Perfect

I could name hundreds of my favorite pleasing aromas that will bring a smile to my face, even on the gloomiest… Continue reading Aroma
Confident
Things are not always what they seem. I’ve discovered, over the years, that the people that seem most confident in public, some don’t carry that same assuredness on the inside. I think back on how far I’ve come on that journey. I remember being a friendly and outgoing little girl growing up, although short in… Continue reading Confident

A quote that comes to mind immediately is that “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” And when you think about it, each of us envision beauty in many ways. Sure, there are the obvious ones – beauty in the simplicity of a flower, the majestic mountains, the unpredictable oceans and, of course, the… Continue reading Beauty
