How do you overcome and survive the loss of two people within two weeks of each other? No matter who you are pain is evitable. It doesn’t discriminate or care about your financial or social status in life. It’s like an unwanted visitor who knocks at your door and you pretend you aren’t home. Pain doesn’t care it will bombard it’s way […]
My pastor said during a sermon that “I’m the answer to someone’s prayer.” I found it to be profound with some many levels. How many of us have wondered why am I here? What is my purpose? I don’t have any gifts. I’m just blah. There’s nothing special about me. I don’t know about you but I have been there and done […]
I lost one of my closest friends two weeks ago. One week I visited her in the hospital and we talked about going to Panama City and seeing the white sand beaches again. Then the following week she was gone. The pain of losing someone that close to you leave wounds. I know they heal but right now they are exposed and […]
As I look back on 2012 I wondered what happened. All the things I needed, wanted or just hoped for were still back there. As I crossed over in 2013, I wondered was it just a dress rehearsal for the real things that are yet to come? I’m not making any resolutions for 2013 because I know I won’t keep […]
How could someone be so evil to murder little children? They were babies who didn’t get the chance to enjoy life or to see this huge world of ours.

It’s all the hoopla of shopping and baking that has made me not a happy camper. What happened to the old days when we celebrated the […]
Loneliness is a sad word. It creates something in all of us that we don’t want to identify or talk about. But I can honestly say I haven’t experience loneliness in many,many years. Why? Because I don’t depend on anyone to take away loneliness. I create and do the things I enjoy that doesn’t have to involve other people. I love […]
No matter the trials and tribulations of life, I do love love. For me the best things in life is my husband and son. I love our small close-knit family. I find myself hurrying through the day at work, so I can be with my family. We laugh, joke and eat together. Just these small moments wash away the worry, […]
In the bible King David said that he encouraged himself and Apostle Paul said I make myself happy. I think of these two statements often. So many times we look to others things, whether it’s job, partying or other people to give us the measurement of happiness we seek. I love my husband and son greatly and they do make […]
“I Choose Joy Because Happiness is not Enough” by Author Kay Warren is such a profound thought. Like many, you probably thought that joy and happiness were the same but it’s not.
