Although spring is my favorite season, November is my favorite month. It’s because Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. Much like Darling Daughter #1 begins to listen to Christmas music well before Christmas, I like to get a head start on Thanksgiving by focusing on what I am thankful for all month long. I love Thanksgiving mostContinue reading “#GetYourThankfulOn”

When your “cause” becomes your idol…
It seems like we have gotten to a place where “doing what’s right” means doing what’s right for “our team” or doing whatever will advance the cause of “our team”. Our team might be political–democrats or republicans, it might be racial–black or white, it might be men vs. women, or perhaps it’s religious–Christians vs MuslimsContinue reading “When your “cause” becomes your idol…”
20 Seconds of Pure Courage…
What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail? Do you hate that question? I kinda do. I mean let’s face it, failure is inevitable. We all do it. None of us like it. Most of us are afraid of it. And yet. And yet, have you ever accomplished anything of significance, anything thatContinue reading “20 Seconds of Pure Courage…”
#preachingtomyself
This is something I posted on Facebook over 4 years ago but it’s still relevant and God’s still working on me so I thought I’d share it again… It’s so easy….so very, very easy, for us to get caught up with focusing on our differences–our skin is a different color, our political views are vastlyContinue reading “#preachingtomyself”

The last time we met right before he retired he told me, “Well, it looks like I made it!”. Because of our relationship and his willingness to share both hisContinue reading “The Greatest Accomplishment…”
The Day the Neighbors Came, Big Boots or You’re Going to Think I’m Crazy…
I’ve realized over the years that I start a lot of sentences with the phrase “you’re probably going to think I’m crazy, but…”. ⬅️If you find this sentence offensive, please read to the end. My darling husband has this face that he makes when I start telling him with great excitement about my newest idea.Continue reading “The Day the Neighbors Came, Big Boots or You’re Going to Think I’m Crazy…”
The Killer B’s or Judging a Book…
Back in my glory days of working in healthcare there was a group of physicians that all had a last name that started with the letter B. Other doctors coined a nickname for them, “The Killer B’s”. Obviously, as a doctor that’s probably not the nickname you want to have pinned on you, and IContinue reading “The Killer B’s or Judging a Book…”
The fear of bunnies…
But guess what happened. Karen walked in, took a look around and said…
Growing sprouts…
Store bought sprouts can be kind of pricey and that’s if you can find them at all. The ones I’ve bought in the past have cost around $3-$4 for about 4 ounces of sprouts and usually I’ve only been able to find a very limited variety. So I’ve started growing my own. It’s super easyContinue reading “Growing sprouts…”
