I thought I had more time. I referred to next year as if any of us have control. You can have the time of your life or curse that time was cut short. I’ve read countless reminders to value time and tell those you love that you love them, when…
Several hours have passed since I learned that my Father’s heart said – no more. I am unsure if I am in shock or if I am in comfort knowing that he left this earth, his way. Several years back we had another scare; however, his miraculous recovery caused all…
On Thanksgiving 2014 in the wake of the Darren Wilson Grand Jury decision, rioting has ensued across the country. I’ve chosen to watch The History Channel’s series; The Men Who Built America vs. news reports of those who choose to ‘burn this bitch down’. It’s puzzling to me that anyone would participate…
There are big moments in our life, where all we can do is ‘live small’… almost microscopic. Sure, we’ll pick up, join in and get with the program; however, in certain situations and for undefined amounts of time, there is validity in just pulling back, taking stock. If you’re a…

During a funeral the other day Linda Ellis’ poem The Dash was mentioned. Just a few words of the Orator’s mention were enough for me to retain the name of the poet as well as the poem. Once the funeral was over I looked this poem up on my phone….
Last night while texting with a friend .. he said that he had a great day! I inquired what made it so great and he said: “I woke up!” How many of us really think about life that way? More often than not, we talk about what has caused us pain…
Confidence is a funny thing…. I have more than my share of it. I have taken great risks in various parts of my life, some have failed miserably whereas others panned out to a ‘t’ yet, when it comes to other people…. I am not going to say that my…
