How are you holding up? Where are you finding your strength over these trying times? What are you struggling with since the shutdowns and lock downs started? Normally, I don’t post in the middle of the week, but this is a bonus post for all my faithful followers. Since December, I’ve worked long hours from…
Keep Going
I have been at the end of myself more times than I care to admit. And, in talking with a friend last night, you’d think that someone who got as beat up by life as I did, would have given up by now. But, I’m not a quitter. I don’t even know what that would…
From Innocence to Wisdom
Over the last few years, I’ve had the pleasure of having several conversations with Teresa through LinkedIn. An amazing encourager, she has elevated me more than once with her kind positivism. As founder and creative director of His Creation Works studio and a fellow writer, Teresa graciously accepted my invitation to guest post. The Passage…
Powering Through
One summer, my husband I bought a Kayak. I’d done a lot of research and found an inflatable one with excellent reviews that fit our budget and space constraints. We had both canoed before, and Jack had once owned a sailboat. A kayak is a little different, and an inflatable differs from a hard body….

And Now, Over to You
So I bet you’ve been coming here for a while, at least long enough to know that what I’m going to do next, I have never done before. And that is, opening up the floor so we can all hear from you! I would love to hear your best positivity story and I think our…
All Your Dreams
It is my hope that this year will be your biggest adventure yet!
Festival of Lights
Whether you’re celebrating truth or legend, may light shine upon you.
The Bearer of Great Power
When my siblings and I were kids, our parents bought a plot of land about 30 miles outside the city where we lived and began building their dream home. They drove back and forth every weekend checking on various things and in the summer they went several times during the week. For us kids, the…
Giving Thanks
I just wanted to give thanks to you… For showing up here to read these posts. I know you’ve got a full life, an overfull life. And when things are going great, it’s manageable. It doesn’t take much for the one more thing to throw everything else off. That’s when things fall off the calendar,…
