Did you ever look at someone and think, "wow, they've got it all, not a care in the world"? Maybe even a little shot of envy creeps into your thoughts as you assume they've conquered life and managed to avoid the trials and tribulations that seem to continually seep into your own. I think if … Continue reading A Cross to Bear…

An open letter to my parents…
It was a long weekend, filled with a bit of stress and a whole lot of love. As I sit to enjoy a needed cocktail and an unwinding moment, I am reflecting on my parents and what a blessing they are to me. I believe it's worth taking a moment to write down these feelings. … Continue reading An open letter to my parents…
Holding on to the Right to Speak…
This past weekend, I had the pleasure of speaking to a young man who had graduated college one year ago. He happened to be standing nearby, waiting for a family wedding to start, at a venue my husband and I were visiting for lunch. Intelligent, well groomed, respectful, and a breadth of fresh air with … Continue reading Holding on to the Right to Speak…
Bring Back Childhood…
Sometimes I find it difficult to write. Not for lack of subject matter, there is plenty to talk about, but due to the pushed narratives that have come to overshadow normal healthy dialogue. The country's conversations are being dictated by a small percentage of people with very loud voices. Bolstered by the media, certain political … Continue reading Bring Back Childhood…
Wisdom Gained…
I have known since I was in my teens that I had been gifted with two additional wisdom teeth. “Supernumerary” being the technical term, although I just like to say it is a sign of my super intelligence. It sounds more interesting that way... On occasion through the years one of these little accessories has … Continue reading Wisdom Gained…

Heaven is Real
I watched a documentary the other night about Near-Death Experiences (NDE) and how everyone who has experienced an NDE recounts very similar events. Images and encounters that lead to no other explanation but the truth of heaven and how incredibly amazing it will be. Although many experience this wonder, there are also those who witnessed … Continue reading Heaven is Real
Another spin around the sun
It's my birthday today. Another trip around the sun complete. Despite this being a challenging year, I feel grateful and blessed to be here on this planet; afforded another go around to right some wrongs and live with purpose. Gone is a year full of way too many tears, yet admittedly sprinkled with some incredible … Continue reading Another spin around the sun
Artificial Intelligence: Thinking Without a Soul
Have we not seen enough yet to realize the dangers of artificial intelligence and the world wide web? The infringement upon personal space, cyber-attacks, misinformation, and corrupt and vial content in general. A space where artificial intelligence learns by refining and defining inputted data; data which may or may not be accurate, truthful and/or integral … Continue reading Artificial Intelligence: Thinking Without a Soul
Blessed are the Meek…
There once was a small child, innocent and angelic. A child who by all accounts was incapable of malice, determined to please those around her, and incredibly pure of heart. So innocent and sweet was this child, that she simply did not fit the norm; she was different, there is no doubt, with differences that … Continue reading Blessed are the Meek…
