I talked with the sweetest man yesterday. His name is Bill. I met him by almost bumping into him as I abruptly stopped in front of a store. A pretty spring blouse had caught my eye. I apologized and went inside to get a closer look. “Excuse me,” he said. I looked up and saw …
My heart aches for the family and loved ones of those lost in this senseless tragedy. May we all send love and prayers their way as they try to come to terms with such an inconceivable act. Fear and hate will not have the last word. Love on. ❤️💛💚💙💜
Be unapologetically authentically you…this life needs you just as you are. Today I was reminded how we just never know whose life we will impact… whose heart we may touch in the most ordinary of circumstances. Today I was reminded how important it is to be exactly who we are… unapologetically authentic… because we don’t …
Sometimes this life just does not make sense. Things happen that seem so random, so tragic, so unfair… and yet, I was reminded by a sweet soul sister and friend (who has demonstrated inspiring and unwavering spiritual faith amidst great tragedy) that those things that happen in this life, especially those things that confuse us …

That which is most valuable is not found within this life. Our treasures lie beyond this world in eternity! God asks us to remember that we cannot take anything of Earthly value with us when we die; yet that which has true value will always be ours and will be found there in more abundance! …
Death does not separate us from our loved ones anymore than the clouds separate us from the sun. We may not see those whom we’ve lost, yet their light shines through the clouds of life. If our hearts are open we will assuredly feel the warmth of their love. Take comfort in knowing one day …
The loss of a child or of someone with whom you are deeply bonded can be a painful experience and over time very isolating. As others close to you “move on” with their lives and go back to their normal routine, we struggle daily just to carry on! To add insult to injury many folks …
My grandma passed away on Christmas just a few short days ago. Her passing has reminded me how each one of us grieves differently: some folks wail, some cry, some go silent, some get busy, some to work, some to bed, some fast, some overeat, and some of us do a little of each of …
