What an extraordinary time this has been for the world. To those who have lost friends and family, my heart and prayers go out to you. I know this has been devastating for many – from the loss of loved ones, the loss of jobs, money, in many cases homes. Watching the news is disheartening […]
Graduation
Everyone looks forward to this rite of passage. Parents look forward to seeing their children take flight into adulthood. Children look forward to laying claim to “getting through” the craziness of school, school, school. But finding ways to celebrate in the current coronavirus pandemic adds a whole new level of “I survived it and lived […]
Celebrating
2020 has been a challenging year in so many ways. For far too many this has been a time of loss: jobs, schools, businesses, social connections, and the most horrific – loss of loved ones. It can feel pretty daunting to just get through the day – let alone think of celebrating anything. But life […]
Happy is Not Cancelled!
While things are pretty rough and it is going to take awhile to figure out next steps – it is still very important to remember what we retain! Life is happening – even in this midst of this difficult time. Birthdays are happening, weddings, babies are coming into the world, graduations are reached, anniversaries are […]

Here in Texas, it has been a very rainy spring. While grateful for the rain and how plants are just bursting into bloom and greenery, we are tired of the gloom. The current situation with the worldwide pandemic makes the gloom more difficult. Kids are home from school and everyone is just ready for things […]
Something Fun
This week I’ve had the opportunity to use the Zoom tool to meet up (virtually) with a wonderful group of women from my church. It was so nice to see their faces in “real time”. I hope that you are finding ways to connect and reconnect with people virtually while we get through this pandemic. […]
The Importance of Social Distancing
The CORVID-19 virus has had a devastating impact around the globe. We are likely a bit behind the curve in getting a handle on it in America, but people are now stepping up and beginning to understand how important it is to “flatten the curve”. During this time, it is difficult to know how to […]
Be Safe – Be Sensible
There have been a lot of jokes about the people hoarding toilet paper. By the way, that needs to stop. Now. Really. Stop. But that hoarding “reflex” comes from a good place. We all want to take care of our families, friends, ourselves. And while there has been a lot of scary information floating around, […]
