What have you read so far this summer? Here are a few of my faves from among those I finished. Notice I said a few. I read many great books. I’m sharing comments and recommendations for these three. Will you add at least one of them to your TBR stack today? […]
I’m writing this blog post on D-Day, 2022, the 78th anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Normandy. With Father’s Day less than two weeks away, I planned a tribute to dads–mine in particular. Then went down this meandering trail. In search of family photos with my dad, I pulled this one from my stash. No, […]
Looking past many items in my closet in 2020 and into 2021, I reached for the super-comfy leggings and tunics time and again. My obsession with clothes quite obvious. I knew that already. I love nice things and the put together look. With few places to go the joy of shopping evaporated quickly. Uncertainty of […]
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.

HE is ALL we need — our peace, our protection, our provision, our healer, our joy, our salvation, and way, way more. Please find […]
Do I dare mention it again? COVID-19 is everywhere. When you’ve put in nearly seven decades of life, you’ve seen shifts in direction in many facets of life and culture. Some are better than others. My life having personally touched lives of those born at least as far back as the 1880’s. I’ve heard first […]
Author, Candace West, has the spotlight here today. Reading her debut novel, Lane Steen, I identified deeply with the emotions and experiences of the title character, her life and her family. Our circumstances were different, but the pain manifested in incredibly similar ways. It was a delight to be a very early reader of the […]
NOTE: 2.25.23. I first wrote this post many years ago. In light of the recent earthquakes in Turkey and Syria, it seems very appropriate to share it again.
