I have had time to consider lately where I’ve been, where I am, and what the new possibilities are to where I would like to be - and it occurred to me that I have a unique perspective.
On the one hand, I see a future (not mine, I’ve decided) when I look at how my [...]

Yesterday, I received this lovely gift - the gift of nothing.
It reminded me of the story when a child gave his mother a present - all wrapped up and beautiful, yet when she unwrapped it and opened the box, it appeared empty. When she questioned her son about the ‘empty’ box, he protested in tears [...]

The days of waiting are over. The ‘virtual’ trip to the bank website to see if my balance had increased while I slept - done with. The hope that maybe we’d have a bit of extra cash this summer - dashed.
You see - after countless trips to the IRS website to use their oh-so-handy tool [...]

I was struck this past week - Memorial Day to be exact - while I was watching the news. They did a segment on the high cost of fuel, and how it was impacting people’s lives. They then mentioned that they had their inbox filled with stories about this, and shared a couple of them, [...]

Since tomorrow is Mother’s Day, I’ve been thinking back about my Mom. She’s been gone for a long time, but never from my heart.
That memorable day really started a bit before….I think I must have been between 4 and 5 years old - and ever week, like clockwork, Mom and I would walk to the [...]

This has been a precious weekend for me.
Visits to Raleigh are too few…and all the more precious for it. When one of my boys decides to come this way with a grandchild in tow…oh, my that is an EVENT!
My middle son was on a “Daddy-Daughter” weekend with Desaray, who just turned four. She is the [...]

Way back in 2003, I had a conversation with God. I had been alone for five long years, and was wanting so very much to have someone in my life that would love me just for me….someone I could share with unconditionally. It seemed that God did not have that in His plans for me. [...]

Finally the funeral day had arrived. My husband and I joined all our friends going to the viewing at the funeral home - giving what comfort and support to our friend that we could. It was a sad time, but she was surrounded by family and friends, and somehow that made it better.
