Doing Life Together

The minute my husband turns off the light at night, he falls asleep. Doesn’t work that way for me. It takes me awhile. And I am the one who seems to fall asleep earlier and then wake up earlier. But I also find myself up multiple times a night just because I can’t sleep. So…

PETA is located in my community. They are always in the news about something. Even though I am an animal lover and hate animal abuse, I find their antics a bit over the edge at times. The photo to the left was one the few photos I could find in Google images for PETA that…

Before my 84-year-old mom died last year, she received a letter from the church she had been a member of for more than 60 years.

I was deeply moved yesterday listening to the names of the victims from 911. I watched a number of anniversary specials and saw both resilience and heart break in families. My heart went out to those who are still stuck in unforgiveness. While we may never forget what happened on that horrendous day, we, as…

Here are 24 tips to help children cope with fear, especially after a disaster, trauma or life event. Coping With Children’s Fears: When terror strikes, how do you cope? You will communicate…

I finally watched an episode of the Jersey Shore. Figured it was time I knew who Snooki and the Situation were since I have seen them all over the television screen handing out awards, dancing with stars and being interviewed. I wanted to know why these people are household names and creating such a stir.…
