The Recipes & Memories
I’ve gotten into a little routine with our youngest daughter. We text each other pretty regularly around dinner time, sharing what we’re making for dinner. I’ll also ask her opinion on a particular spice she might use or how she would doctor up a certain dish. Last night my husband and I realized we hadn’t…

The Power of One – Not
If you’re like me it’s not really in your dna to ask for assistance. I’m a pretty resourceful person, I always say, I have an ops brain, meaning I like to solve problems. I can look at a situation, analyze it pretty quickly and my brain kicks in to how to best handle things. I’m…

Birthday Prayer “Again”…
I think I’ve shared in this little blog before the story of the birthday prayer. We had a dear friend, one who became a father figure to me, later in my life, after my dad had passed away. John was a father figure to many in our group of friends. He was not only one…

God Loves You
I guess that just about says it all, doesn’t it? I’m not sure I need to say much more in this little blog today. 🙂 Seriously, though, as I sat on the lanai this morning spending my quiet time with Father, I asked what I could share about Him today. Those three words popped immediately…

The Transformation

I started a new tradition this year, well let’s say I’m trying to start a new tradition this year. Actually, you could say I’m sort of picking up a past tradition and tweaking it. Years ago, when our kids were younger, we had a tradition of enjoying a Swedish Tea Ring on Christmas morning. A…

A Prayer of Love
I’ve mentioned here in this little blog before that I have a dear friend who sends a scripture reading to me each day. Throughout this Advent season those readings and reflections have focused on the birth of the Christ child. This morning he sent me a beautiful prayer for this Fourth Sunday of Advent, and…

Mother Mary
After yesterday’s little blog post, I felt the need to share a song of hope. It’s one of my favorite Christmas songs, although I don’t think it should only be heard at this time of the year. This song speaks to Mary directly and asks the simple question, “Mary did you know?”. I can’t help…

No Strangers
Yesterday, I hit the road. Oh, there are a few meanings there 🙂 . I made the drive to Daufuskie Island, SC, to visit Haig Point. It’s a beautiful little community that you can only get to by ferry. Once on the island, you can only move around by foot or by golf cart. To…

Walking in the Past
Last night we went to a small holiday gathering at a friend’s home. Just a few friends enjoying a beverage, nosh, and some Christmas cheer. It was a lovely evening, the food was wonderful and the conversation was lively. We all shared our plans for Christmas and it was fun to hear how everyone would…
