What defines you?
Genetics is complex. We are all unique but at the same time, certain traits occur depending on race and ethnicity. However, what we inherit from our ancestors is just the beginning of what makes us who we are. Other major factors are religion, environment, and gender. Of the three, the environment is everything that affects […]
Memorial Day 2020
This is the day we honor and remember all those who stood, fought and died for the freedom we enjoy in this great country. I know for some, it’s just an excuse for a party or cookout – like any of us really need an excuse. We try to do that most weekends in Spring, […]
Amazing Gift
Here’s the video Talia made for me for Mother’s Day. If you haven’t already, read “This One’s for Talia” that I published in January. She is absolute proof that God loves me; she is beautiful inside and out, my love and my best friend.
Mother’s Day Weekend
I hope all of you found a special way to celebrate Mother’s day. I am so thankful for the time I had with my family Saturday and Sunday! In my last post I talked about showing love and appreciation by giving your time and something special you created yourself. Well, I was blown away by […]
“Why?”
One of the most frequent questions parents hear is “Why?” I actually believe a mom probably hears it the most because it’s usually ‘easier’ to ask her or it’s because she’s the one giving instructions. I know I asked and often argued about the why – that and lots of other things, too. I’m so […]
The Finish Line
Well I haven’t written in over a week other than a short post on Facebook. It was “one of those days” so I was asking for a little help. I appreciate the reactions but I REALLY do want to know your thoughts. I would greatly appreciate it if you will submit comments on my website, […]
Persevere
This was a birthday card for my husband from his coworkers. I thought the picture was so funny I put it on the fridge and it’s been there since August. By definition: If you can do something standing on your head, you can do it very easily. Well, I don’t think I can do anything […]
Hope Springs Eternal
I’ve heard the phrase and know what it means; continuing to hope, although it seems unlikely that what you hope for can happen. The operative word is “seems” because it’s subjective. Are you an optimist, pipe-dreamer, pessimist or somewhere in between? More importantly, in what or whom do you put your trust? It seems to […]
Reality Check
Unite the Country, the super PAC backing former vice president Joe Biden, released an ad yesterday blaming President Trump for the coronavirus response. I just saw the ad this morning and was disgusted! I don’t care, nor am I here to criticize party affiliation. However, judging one man – Our President – for being optimistic […]
