October 25th would have been my paternal grandmother’s birthday. Grandma was your typical grandmother. She knitted. She baked. She loved taking care of kids. Grandma loved having her family around, too. If we made plans to meet for a meal… Grandma always wanted to cook! She loved having the family gathered around the table. And they were not measly meals either! Each time we would go home full! One of the most amazing things about…

Books will always have a place in the world. They offer no pop-up ads or other distractions. When you make the deliberate choice to pick up a book, you are deciding to focus on reading and nothing else. This adds to your retention when reading to learn something, and it adds to your enjoyment and relaxation when reading for pleasure. And that book in your hands can carry your mind to anyplace in the world.
Life can be chaotic, and it is easy to become overwhelmed from time to time. When you find yourself feeling as if you are being swept away, take a few moments for the 5 Rs. Reflect, repair, reconnect, rejuvenate, and resolve to be the best person that you can be!
We have all witnessed something terrible happening to a good person. And in these cases, we all ask, “Why”? But the truth is that we might never be afforded an answer to that question.

Sadness, anger, guilt, and pain all add a burden to your shoulders that will never serve a purpose. Decide to carry only valuable treasures with you on your journey. Knowledge, love, and memories of happiness and achievement are as light as a feather and will serve you well as you…
We don’t have a window into the lives of the people we see each day or even the people whom we think we know reasonably well. But we do have the opportunity to be a bright moment in all of these people’s day. A smile might take only a second or two of your time, but it could be the best second or two of someone else’s day. Sadly, many people can hide their pain…
There is nothing that can compare with the experience of becoming one with over 70% of the earth’s surface. It is that one perfect moment of balance between man and nature. But sadly, not everyone has the same appreciation for the sea and her inhabitants. It is up to those of us who have made the connection with the ocean to lead the charge to protect what we hold most dear. “People protect what they…
Every sunrise is like opening a package on Christmas morning. The potential is unlimited, and you should be filled with excitement as you discover what is waiting for you on this new day.
Every day we are blessed to have a second chance in life. We wake up and get to look out our window, all the mistakes made the day before forgotten… thanks to God’s grace and mercy being new each and every single day. Despite this glorious gift, we have this tendency to relive all the times we messed up the day before and even way before that. For some of us, we keep allowing those…
