This, I believe, is the perfect word for our Advent season. My wheels started turning while baking my mother’s favorite cookie recipe for a church function. I started to reminisce about the past and had also recently heard a song (which you can listen to at the end) called “Make Room” by Casting Crowns. I… Continue reading Room

Windows
– I was inspired when this word was used while listening to my morning video during prayer time. You may be familiar with the term spring cleaning. For those a little younger than myself, it was a tradition used in societies worldwide, with roots tracing back to ancient times, symbolizing the transition from dormant winter… Continue reading Windows
Valentine
Yes, it’s that time of year again. It’s a day of so many expectations of whether someone special will surprise them with that bouquet of flowers, a special dinner at a cozy restaurant or maybe just an acknowledgement with a heartfelt card and speaking those three special words, “I love you.” My parents were married… Continue reading Valentine
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
Change
A memory came rushing to me as I was sitting in church, upon hearing that word whisper in my mind. I was sixteen years old again and sitting on my parents’ front porch listening to my record player and singing to the song “Hey Jude” by the Beatles. The boy that I had met the… Continue reading Change
Celebrate
In the quiet of the evening, as the sky starts to darken, my eyes wander around our house, looking at the results of our many hours (days) of Christmas decorating. In our family room alone, we have displays of so many special Santas, snowmen, treasured lighted houses, and nativities. These are collected treasures over the… Continue reading Celebrate

Only remnants remain of our Thanksgiving celebrations, however small or large. Now, we are continuing on the next part of our journey into Advent. The three wise men were definitely pilgrims, being guided towards a very sacred place, a simple manger in a stable, holding the Christ child. Their plan? Following a… Continue reading Sharing
Sparkle
How many things can you think of that sparkle? It may be the sequins neatly sewn on your daughter’s princess Halloween costume or maybe it’s the sparkle you see in the eyes of someone that loves you. The word sparkle brings to me both new memories being made and old ones that I cherish. New… Continue reading Sparkle
Easy
My mind rushes back to when my husband and I embarked on the biggest challenge of our lives, running a small business. It was exciting at the beginning, but through many trials and roadblocks, (entwined I admit with many blessings too) there was a time when we almost gave up. But my mother-in-law gave us… Continue reading Easy
Morning
There should be a golden rule that the word good be added to the beginning of the word morning. Because every morning is good! We have another chance to get it right every single day. My husband and I are determined, again, (and again) to move more during our day. With the hot summer days… Continue reading Morning
