Cancer is taking so many people away from us. It’s taking our family members, our friends, our animals, our co-workers, our co-worshipers and school children. It is a horrible disease that claims the lives of so many. It seems like every week there is someone else that I learn has cancer. And it seems like […]

Set An Example
We’ve all heard, read it and thought it hundreds of times. “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you“. Right? Did your parents and grandparents try to teach you the ‘Golden Rule’ when you were a child? But, it’s hard, isn’t it? Because sometimes people are just downright mean. Set an example. […]
The Best Doctors
Here’s my list for the best doctors in my life. Yes, of course, I believe in medical doctors and, believe me, I have my share of visits, but these are the best “doctors” for everyday healthy living. Prayer-I believe in the power of prayer. I believe it is the greatest force on our planet. And […]
You Deserve To Be Happy
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 […]
Beauty Of A Good Heart
All of us have our own perceptions of beauty. We see a beautiful face and we think, “Oh what a beautiful face”. Or we see a really fit, youthful body and we think, “They look so young and fit.” And sometimes our thinking is wistful. We long to be like them, to not have the […]
Be Grateful For The Little Things
We get busy. We are running here and there. We are raising a family. We are providing for our family. We are working. A lot. We are caught up in what is happening at our jobs, in our schools, in our Churches, in our Community, in our States, across our Country and all over the […]
