For the first time in who knows how many years, I have made a New Year’s resolution. I have decided to embrace who I really am. In 2022, I am going to be turning 45. I figure now is a good time as any to come to accept me… the REAL me! Not the person who others may want me to be. Here is who I am… I am not prim and proper. I was…
The best thing we can give each other for Christmas is something genuine and kind. It can’t be bought at a store. It can’t be made by a designer. The best thing we can give each other for Christmas is ourselves.

If there was ever a time for us to look over our lives, it is now. We should completely forget about what society says. Our needs, our wants are our business and nobody else’s.

As a parent, I can’t imagine my child facing a health issue that puts his life at risk. Even as the parent of an adult child, there is a neverending feeling of responsibility to fix or correct things. Knowing that this health issue is far beyond your ability to correct must fill a parent with an overwhelming sense of helplessness. And unfortunately, that is what a dear friend of my family faces on Monday. Her…
True bravery comes not in the struggle but when it is over. The temptation is strong to remain in the difficulty yet it is ignored. Standing strong and sure but humbled by the experience, carrying the lessons learned to help in the growth.

In life, we are faced with different daily activities. These activities could include going to school or going to work, visiting a relative, going shopping, going for a walk, or watching TV. There are many more activities that one undertakes during a day. There is an activity which is very different from others. An activity that is based on love.

There is no price tag on your life so don’t give one out. You are just as special as the next person. Your life matters too much so don’t give anyone permission to have a say in how you live your life. Believing in yourself brings the kind of life you were meant to live. You may have had some pretty horrible things happen to you and it’s been pretty hard to put it all…
