My Typical School Morning

A school day.  I awaken against my will to the kisses of our German Shepherd hours before I had to get up.

Ignoring her wouldn’t help – Lucy would cry and cry for me to get up and let her outside to lie in the first rays of sunshine.

Pick Myself Up

This week I’m focusing on my self worth.  For a long time I’ve struggled with this without realizing.

I thought it was humble to think I was unworthy of spoiling myself with nice things.  After all, there are children starving in Africa, right?  It could be worse.

Please Judge Me

Everyone is making a big fuss about judging one another.  The majority of people are saying they don’t want to be judged.  This is why you should want to judge and to be judged.

Dear Ladies, You’re Beautiful

We’re all different.  Some of us try to act tough.  Some are desperate for affection.  We want to be loved.

I want you to know you’re beautiful.

Keep Digging For Life

Last night I examined my heart.  I haven’t been spending enough time with the Lord lately.  But that’s everyone, right?

But I don’t want to be like everyone else.  I want to have a relationship with God.  So what’s getting in my way?

Dear Christina Grimmie

I didn’t know you, but I knew of you.  Rest in peace, Christina Grimmie.

I’m one of the many fans who found the videos of you singing, competing.  

Stop. Smell A Rose.

Stop.  Now take a breath and smile.

Sometimes we reach a point when we realize we’re trying to do everything – perhaps even too much.

Never become so caught up in succeeding that you forget to stop and smile.

To Parents: Because Family Makes A Difference

You.  You make a difference in your child’s life.

Parents, your children look up to you, they see you every day of your life.  You’re their role model – their provider.  You are the example for how life is to be lived and how situations are to be dealt with.

YOU have more impact on your child than you will ever know.

A Tip For High School Grads

I cannot believe it is June already.  School is about to be out for most children, and so many friends have graduated this year.
