I was just thinking. Please bear with me. Just wondering…do you think we should change the marriage vows to something a little less permanent? I mean, forever, until death do us part, in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad, I mean, really, isn’t that a bit extreme? Forever?! I don’t know […]
With permission today’s post is written by my beautiful cousin, Grace Alfredson. These are her elegant words: Today is suicide awareness day. Nine years ago today, that meant nothing to me but for the last nine years it has meant many different things. In 2011 it meant shame, in 2012 it meant guilt, in 2014 […]
“I got flowers!” she announced. Wait. Let me back it up. My husband has been undergoing physical therapy to recover from his knee replacement surgeries. Yes, you read that right, surgeriessss with an s, both knees got replaced. Mike told his therapist, Roxy (not her real name) that his wife (me) had a new book […]
Hi Lucille, I wanted to reach out and see if you could help me with something I am going through. I’m kind of out of things to turn to so here I am. My fiancé and I are getting married in nine months. Today, it seems so far away. My fiancé goes to school three […]

Much of what you’ll read in this post will not seem possible. You will stop and say “Nah, no way that happened.” Right out of the gate I’m telling you it’s all true, every single bit. And I totally get it, because I’d be like, “No way, I’m not buying this.” So, you can believe […]
Have you ever wondered, What is she really thinking? Have you ever felt confused about your fun time? Reading this will give you a window into things many women are hesitant to say to their men. If nothing else, perhaps this will open dialog between you and your beloved, enhancing adult nap time. As you […]
“Above all, keep fervent in your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins.” 1 Peter 4:8 (NASB) Years ago my husband decided to let his hair grow long. But he didn’t just let it grow long. He had a mullet! I personally have nothing against men with long hair, but in terms of […]
I turned 56 yesterday. They say you should never ask a lady her age or her weight. Well, I’m not telling you my weight but turning 56 is kind of a big one-more-step-toward-over-the-hill step.
