Hubby and I had a wild weekend. We drove into LA, near LAX from Arizona, and spoke at a church Sunday morning. Doing something like this you really need to be in sync. One goes down, we both go down. One gets off, we both run off. One gets an, Amen, it feels like both […]
I’ve been giving a lot of thought on legacy and what really matters. If you think about it, when we reach our last day a lot of what matters along the way won’t matter at all. There is a book titled “The Top Five Regrets of the Dying: A Life Transformed by the Dearly Departing” […]
I will never forget one defining moment my last year of graduate school. I was required to have a clinical education experience in a hospital setting. When I arrived at the local medical center, I was asked to serve on the oncology floor. Five days a week for the month of January, from 8:00 a.m. […]
I was meeting a friend at church because we would be driving together to go to an event. As I got into my over 15-year-old car I thought, “I love this car.” I’ve always had a bit of a love affair with my car. It’s small, gets good gas milage, and it was oh so […]

We all can remember where we were when we got the news of the tragic events that unfolded that day. My husband and I watched a documentary about the last phone calls made from the Twin […]
As I was organizing my office I came across some notes from a conference I attended. A friend of mine, Pastor Chris Cannon, shared some truth bombs about balancing life for happiness and success. Four main points: -Show up -Be present -Tell the truth -Let go of the outcome He also said… Schedule your top […]
I spent the morning pulling weeds from my front “lawn.” I’m using the word lawn but actually it’s a rock garden—living in Arizona now front yards are often rock gardens. I thought it would be low maintenance but pulling weeds is quite grueling. My back hurts. As I was pulling the weeds I began thinking […]
‘“When you wake up in the morning, Pooh,’ said Piglet at last, ‘What’s the first thing you say to yourself?’ ‘What’s for breakfast?’ said Pooh. ‘What do you say, Piglet?’ ‘I say, I wonder what’s going to happen exciting today?’ said Piglet.
