The Circle is the Story …

Another late evening text from a dear friend sitting with her mother as she begins her final journey. I stop and pray for her and ask God to give her mom “Angel Wings” to fly to Heaven. I tell my sweet friend to call me anytime tonight - no matter the time, I’ll be here. …

THE MORNING AFTER …

I am even more concerned and gobsmacked today at 7:32 a.m. than I was yesterday watching the melee in DC. Why? As I read through comments posted on Facebook about one of the worst days in our American history, I continue to see so many people STILL supporting the current President. Not only is it …

SHE’S BACK …

Yes, I'm back - took a break from blogging to work really hard and read great books to escape Covid and the elections. The "experts" say that in order to be a great writer, I need to write about all sorts of things and not just grants/proposals. So here I am - being creative with …

Be Like Bill – Lean on Me

We lost a giant and a very wise man when Bill Withers passed away on March 30th at 81 years old. His song "Lean on Me" has always been a personal favorite of mine for so many reasons - but right now, it's my anthem. Take a moment and read his beautifully written lyrics ... …

A cherished friend shared this today and I had to share it as well. Life’s little frustrations pile up and I shut down. Probably a sign I’m getting older because challenges and frustrations once motivated me to get on it and fight back. Not so much any longer - I crave peace and harmony. I …

Do the Right Thing – But Did I?

I received some incredible news today from a friend - I was thrilled to hear that something I had participated in and really wanted to happen was a possibility. Thrilled - but found myself sobbing with happiness and sobbing for what could have been. Did I regret the decision I made quite some time ago …
