What’s Your Story?

updated on 11 Comments on What’s Your Story?

Our Story We all have a story to tell…from different backgrounds….to different cultures….and different life experiences. It’s simply what makes the world go ’round….it’s what makes us who and what we really are. Think about it…if we were all the same…lived life the same….even shared all of the same experiences and interests…how boring would that be? Oh, sure…different ones will travel the world…try different foods…different adventures at one time another in their lives, and that is wonderful…but they’re not all …

Reflecting….Looking Back At 2019

updated on 8 Comments on Reflecting….Looking Back At 2019

2019….where did you go? It seems just like yesterday we were just saying “Hello”. But with all of that being said…let me go back in time….at least to January anyway. New year… new desires…new hopes and dreams. That’s what we all look forward to on New Year’s Day. It’s back to work after all of the hustle and bustle of the holidays come to an end. Welcome….February….it’s our 23rd wedding anniversary and Valentine’s day right there after….but for me…”Everyday is …

We’re Only Human

updated on 17 Comments on We’re Only Human

December…it’s probably one of the “craziest” and “busiest” times of the year. It’s full of decorating…shopping…baking…traveling…wishing and hoping. But instead of focusing on what really matters most for this “magical” month, we rush… stress…and run around like a bunch of crazy people. We simply…forget the fact that….”we’re only human”….we can only do so much…there is only so much time of the day…the week…the month. Try as you might…slowing down is always out of the question. There is so much to …

The Beauty In Us All

updated on 9 Comments on The Beauty In Us All

We are all guilty of it at one time or another. We only see someone from the surface only…and with that…we can be quick to judge on the type of person…that person may really be. It really is sad…but so true. The infamous…”Beauty is in the eye of the beholder” is worth more than it’s weight in gold. Haven’t you ever met someone and the more you get to know them, the more handsome or pretty, they become…if only in …

Thanksgiving…The Giving Of Thanks

updated on 4 Comments on Thanksgiving…The Giving Of Thanks

Hands down…Thanksgiving is my all-time favorite holiday for oh, so many reasons. But before I even get to that let us just get to the actual history of Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is a national holiday that is celebrated on various dates in the United States, Canada…some of the Caribbean Islands and even Liberia. It actually began as a special day of giving thanks and the sacrifices for the many blessings of the harvest of the proceeding year. The history of thanksgiving …

Dear Friend……Love, Me

updated on 12 Comments on Dear Friend……Love, Me

This letter is for you…..any of you really. It is my chance to let you know how my heart really does feel…all the way down…deep into my soul. You see, my dear friend…you came into my life when my heart needed it the most. When there was loneliness and perhaps even sadness. You were always there for me to hear me….to just listen and maybe even to offer up some advice. You were sometimes….just there…..just the knowledge that you were …

Because I’m Older Now

updated on 11 Comments on Because I’m Older Now

I can remember wanting everything that life had to offer. From taking trips, to really doing whatever I wanted and even just doing nothing at all. But, I’m older now…..not old….at least I don’t feel that old….just older. But I have come to realize that as all of the years have gone by, I have done those things and so much more. It’s simply putting everything into perspective. I still have so much more living to do. So much more …

The Aging Factor…You Can’t Stop It.

updated on 12 Comments on The Aging Factor…You Can’t Stop It.

Milestones Of Life From the minute that we are born, the aging process starts….sad but true….but it is, what it is. In all reality, at the beginning of one’s life, it’s a relatively slow process. It just “feels like” it goes by faster as we get older. I remember when I was just months away from turning forty… thinking back I can’t believe how depressed I was getting. It’s was just a number, not the end of the world. But …

Just One More Day

updated on 8 Comments on Just One More Day

I Needed More Time “I wasn’t ready to let you go…..this was the hardest thing that I ever had to do.” Losing a loved one, how do you even begin to prepare for it? Well, you can’t really. Life on earth isn’t for an eternity, only the memories are. But, when the time is here to let someone go, the heartbreak is beyond measure. When the loss is through a tragic event, well there are no words of comfort. This …

A Life Worth Living

updated on 2 Comments on A Life Worth Living

What is Life? Our life………its full of ups and downs……sadness and sorrow…..decisions and complications. Life….is full of surprises…excitement…let downs and disappointments. Life…..it’s about lessons and learning….compromises and even compassion. Life….it’s all of those things, but so much more. A Gift We are all a gift in this world….did you know that? You better believe it. We are a blessing and a miracle all rolled into one. This is why it is so hard for me when individuals take their own …

It’s Fall Y’all

updated on 6 Comments on It’s Fall Y’all

Well…”Helloooooo Fall!” I am so glad that the calendar says that you”re finally here…….however, Mother Nature seems to think otherwise. You see, the weather station in my house reads that the high is still in the low 90s, with an occasional “tease” of a low in the high 70s. Living in South Texas, we really only have two seasons…Summer…..extremely hot and Winter….cold, rainy wet slushy mess….sometimes even in the same week! It’s true! Many a week I may have sweatpants …
