You deserve to be happy. Not just a little bit happy. Not just mediocre happy. You deserve to be genuinely happy, excited happy, ready-to-face-each-day happy. You deserve to be happy. You deserve to live a life you are excited about. Don’t let others make you forget that. ~Unknown. Have you ever been at a point […]

Working Towards A Cure-Michael J. Fox
We all remember him. In Back to the Future. Was there anyone that didn’t see that movie? Michael J. Fox was the personification of youthfulness, of hope and of dreaming of the future. Little did he know that just a decade later, his main acting challenge would be to act like someone who didn’t have […]
Take Care Of Yourself
A lot of us give and give and give until there’s nothing left for ourselves. We will work tirelessly to meet the needs of our families, help out friends and co-workers and stay involved with our places of worship and communities. Yet we never take time for ourselves. Rest and self-care are so important. When […]
Ride With Faith
I received an email a few months ago that inspired this blog entry. A woman in her late 50’s wrote to me about her fear of losing her faith. She’s had a very rough past couple of years. As I read everything that she has been through, my heart was heavy for her. She lost […]
I Want A Happy Life
As I’ve grown older, I’ve learned to recognize stress “triggers” for me. People who are always creating drama or who are involved in conflict will bring stress into my life if I allow it. I’ve learned over the years to make sure that I steer clear of the drama and conflict folks. I don’t want […]

Believe Them The First Time
I always try to look for the good in others. I want to believe that there is goodness in everyone. That everybody has a good heart…that everybody wants to help others…that everybody wants to see others blessed. For the most part, I believe that it’s true. I believe that most people have some goodness in […]
The Ride Goes On
Life goes on. No matter how much you wish that life would slow down just a little bit, it just keeps keepin’ on. And it always will. Life stops for no one. While on this ride called LIFE, you have to take the good with the bad, smile when you’re sad, love what you’ve got and remember what […]
Old Roads, Old Dogs, Old Folks And Old Ways
Let’s slow down for a second. Inhale and slowly exhale. Just breathe. Isn’t our world fast? Today everything just seems to be so sped-up! You hurry to get showered and dressed for your day. You hurry through your first cup of coffee. You hurry to get out the door, drop the kids off and hurry […]
