Loving God, Loving Others, Loving Yourself, and Loving Life
So let me just say that I do not like personality profiles. At least not for me. You see, I never know how to answer the questions. I overanalyze every little nuance in the wording of the questions. When the assignment for blogtember today was to take a personality profile quiz and give your thoughts,…
I love to write and can usually write about just about anything. But this topic – “Write about a time you were really scared” stumped me all day…until now. I figured out that my struggle was actually one with vocabulary. You see, I think there is a huge difference between the word fearful and the…
At my age you have to know that I have learned enough lessons to create a dictionary sized book. I’ll just share of few of my little tidbits of wisdom. They just come from my life and I cannot take any of the credit. Never do anything you would not want to be doing if…

Smell the Rain I love the smell of rain. Words can’t fully give a description of the aroma. Nor can words explain the feeling that comes over me when the breeze surprises my senses. It is a gift met with expectancy of moisture to come. I find myself searching the sky, longing for the cleansing…
The Old Tree There is just something about an old gnarled tree that makes me ponder life. I love trees. I love to sit in trees, lie under trees, gaze through the branches of trees into the sky, and listen to the rustling leaves in the gentle breeze. I imagine the roots of the tree…
What a wonderful way to start this new blog of mine! Welcome to my Mom’s back porch. Living love is easy from here. You see, I have laughed and cried on this porch. I have shared dreams and disappointments, built relationships, and watched my children play right here in this very spot. I think there…
