I don’t know about you, but I find myself somewhere around my birthday thinking about things I would like to accomplish or do in the next year of my life. Then, I often put them off. (sound familiar?) This year, I started to think, when is the right time to start something new? The answer… Continue reading What are you waiting for? The time is now.
I’ll leave a light on.
When I was a kid, there was that tag line in a commercial about leaving a light on for you. Genius, right? I immediately have the image of a porch light illuminating the front door so that coming in the house at night is not scary, because you know where you are. The light is… Continue reading I’ll leave a light on.
Moments of unexpected beauty…..
Today I want to share about the random and unexpected beauty that I find in the world. Sometimes I am too wrapped up in myself or my thoughts to notice, but today I am sharing some of the beautiful, unexpected moments of the past week. Lightning: I live in the south and when it’s sooo… Continue reading Moments of unexpected beauty…..
Do you have a favorite day?
Who has a favorite day? Is it a holiday? Christmas? Easter? Maybe your birthday? I happen to really like my birthday. Lot’s of people do not, and that’s ok for you, but don’t kill my joy!

Unanswered prayers…like it or not….
Are prayer ever on your mind? You may pray faithfully every day, maybe more than once, but do you ever wonder if they are being answered? I know that I do. I do believe that my prayer is in partnership with God’s will. If what is in my prayers is only my will and desire,… Continue reading Unanswered prayers…like it or not….
Are you feeling overwhelmed? Check your GPS!
It’s that time of year. Where I live, lots of kids went back to school today and some even started last week! Everyone is trying to “get all the things done” before the school year begins and I’m sure there were some tears (of joy) on parents faces today. Life gets busy even if you… Continue reading Are you feeling overwhelmed? Check your GPS!
Have you prayed a novena lately?
Novenas are one of my most favorite types of prayer. A novena is a prayer that you pray for nine consecutive days for a certain intention. You can pray a novena for a saint’s intercession for the challenge that you are dealing at that moment. Here are a few examples: There is truly a saint… Continue reading Have you prayed a novena lately?
The Olympics remind me to never give up.
Every two years we get treated to the summer or the winter Olympics. It’s 16 days of athletic events, some I think are absurd, but most are fascinating and I can sit glued to my tv screen rooting for any and all of them. I appreciate the pageantry but most of all, I appreciate the… Continue reading The Olympics remind me to never give up.
How good are you at waiting?
Waiting. It is not my favorite pastime, yet I find myself continually waiting for something (or someone). I wait for the water to boil, the laundry to finish, traffic to clear, the ice cream maker to finish, answers about questions or test results. It’s clear that waiting brings an answer or sometimes a reward, but… Continue reading How good are you at waiting?
Are you a good person? How do you know?
Do you wonder why Jesus sent the disciples out two by two? I’m sure it was a way of protecting them, just like we tell kids, don’t go anywhere alone, take a friend. We certainly need others on our journey, but I wonder if it is more about the validation and credibility that two as… Continue reading Are you a good person? How do you know?
