Because we are just entering December, you might be thinking that I am referring to the experience of shopping online while sitting in a cozy spot in my home. But this is a far more critical experience. The gifts that I have received from the Internet are far more essential and priceless than any item that I could have purchased! My greatest gifts from the Internet include a lady in Michigan, one in Canada, and…
This week we celebrated Thanksgiving. This is a time when we come together as a family and enjoy the wonderful blessings God has given us. I remember one particular Thanksgiving when I was a teenager. I had been visiting with my great-grandma before we went out to eat with the rest of the family. When they came to pick us up, my great grandma’s dog ran out! Since I was the only one wearing pants…
There are over 7.5 billion people in the world. And we are all connected in some way, even if it is only by the fact that we are all equal partners in humanity. So know that no matter how you might feel at any given moment, you are not alone. All you need to do is reach out, and there will be a hand reaching back toward you. Friends and loved ones don’t always know…
It is very easy to let precious time slip away from you. As we head into the holiday season, make it a priority to enjoy time with family and friends. It doesn’t need to be big formal events or parties to celebrate the holidays. Impromptu gatherings and small celebrations provide a casual setting to connect with others and share real moments that will become treasured memories. No one ever faced their final days on earth…
On a day when most of us are enjoying a feast with family, Diana’s husband Justin is sitting beside her bed in the ICU praying for any sign to give him hope. She is no longer responsive to pain and is not breathing on her own. But they have seen these dark and hopeless times before. Thanks to the prayers of people across the country and around the world, Diana has beaten the odds before…
This year I would like to say thank you to all of the amazing people whom I am thankful to have in my life. I know I don’t say it as often as I should, but I hope to do a better job of this in the future. It only makes sense to start with my amazing husband and our wonderful son, who will always be my Little Al. (even though he is over 6…
I wanted to reach out to everyone who has “met” Diana and her family through the See The Good posts and everyone else who can offer her prayers and good thoughts. Diana has received a new liver and was doing very well for several days. She left the hospital briefly and was able to see her 5-year-old son, which was a huge boost for her spirits. But sadly, things have taken a turn for the…
The path of least resistance is also the path of least reward. You are stronger, wiser, and more talented than you can imagine. Challenge yourself and make the most of every opportunity that comes to you.
Fear should never be a limiting factor. Instead, it should provide the motivation needed to learn and increase your understanding to overcome whatever it is that is creating your fear. There is nothing in this world that should place limitations on what you can achieve. Master your fear, or it will master you and keep you from reaching your fullest potential. Facing your fear and overcoming it is just the beginning of what you can…
Each of us is responsible for finding or creating our own happiness. And with that in mind, we must make choices and decisions throughout our life that we believe will lead us to happiness. The challenge here is that our choices might not please the other people in our life. But right or wrong for everyone else, we must follow the path that we believe will bring us to a place that is better for…
