Welcome 2016!
It's been a wonderful start to 2016. A nice breakfast at home, cleaning up the house and putting away the final remnants of Christmas decorations followed by a movie. And of course we will have our traditional ham for dinner tonight. I treasure these moments…quiet...
A Wave of Gratitude
A special thanks to my husband for this beautiful post.This season is very special in our family for a number of reasons. We look forward to time off work, to being together, to play in the snow. It is a very special time when we give thanks for the incredible gifts...
2015 – Enough
My word for 2015 was "Enough" and I feel like I embraced the word more than I ever dreamed I would. There were more times than I care to admit where I felt like I could not begin to measure up, but when I stopped and thought about the situation I always came back to...

The Season Has Begun
The Advent season begins four Sunday's before Christmas and ends on Christmas Eve. It is the beginning of the liturgical year for Christians and is the time Christians prepare and anticipate the birth of Christ. When the first Sunday of Advent arrives, I feel like...

Last week I had the privilege of talking to a mom with a newly diagnosed baby boy with hemophilia. Hearing her pain, grief and devastation over the phone was heart wrenching. I wanted to reach through the line and give her a hug to reassure her that things...
