Today I need to honor someone. Someone I will never have the chance to meet, or to know. But I honor her because I know all I need to know about her, to know that she is my friend. Many years ago, I had a friend in high school. We weren't particularly close, but he … Continue reading Requiem for the Friend I Will Never Know

The Spirit of Christmas
Today I want to dedicate my post to those who cannot be with their families and loved ones today. This post is for those working in medical facilities, emergency services, call centers, stores, military, etc. But this post is also dedicated to those who may have the day off, but can't be with their loved … Continue reading The Spirit of Christmas
Movie Messages
The other night, my family and I went to the movies. This doesn't happen often, and it's usually a pretty big movie. This time was no different, and we all had a great time. And while the movie itself was pretty impressive, what impressed me more was the amount of messages in the movie. This … Continue reading Movie Messages
Messages from the Heart
So often, as I sit down to write, I have more thoughts than I can possibly count, more ideas for a post than I could write about in 10 years!

When my husband and I got serious and moved in together, that was one of the biggest changes in my life. I am grateful … Continue reading Celebrating Time
Paying Attention
So often we think we are paying attention to others, but in reality, are only paying attention to the thoughts we have in our head, or to whatever is the immediately "have to" for that moment, with minimal attention anywhere else. I have to share an experience that happened only this morning. So often, as … Continue reading Paying Attention
Spiritual Inspiration
Inspiration comes in many forms, and ideas come from many sources. Many times I find inspiration in conversations with people, in the beauty of a flower or animal that crosses my path, in a simple look. Inspiration can come from anywhere. Many times I find myself reminding myself to remember an event that occurred so … Continue reading Spiritual Inspiration
The Most Wonderful Gift
The last couple of days I've been feeling very retrospective, as I always am at this time of year. I'm certain most of us go through the same thing. Another year older, and what does it mean? Also, because the holiday season is here, the new year is coming, and so has the greed. It … Continue reading The Most Wonderful Gift
