I am in my car. I am lost in thought as I listen to Sara Evan’s song, “I Get A Little Bit Stronger.” It is a song that is an ode to healing little by little after a lost relationship. Today there are no tears like these songs usually drag out of me. It could…

I feel compelled to share this unbelievable video. It is prompted by the innocence and purity of love of a six year little old girl. I am so taken by the insight and words of this young child that I have actually highlighted below some of her most powerful quotes. Below that you will find…

I am busy cleaning this morning, but can’t keep my eyes off the television. I watch the President and the Pope walk towards the platform to address the crowd. I am transfixed by Pope Francis, as is much of the world. I listen to the correspondents. They point out that it is not only the…

I open the front door. Two of my high school bestie’s greet me while my chocolate lab Hazel jumps on them. I grab at her trying unsuccessfully to make her behave. I hug them both. We have had this night on the books for months. It is our attempt to finally get better about seeing…

I walk up the mounting block and place my foot in the stirrup while throwing my other leg over the horse. There are three of us riding in the ring this morning. I take a moment to gather myself – the reigns and other stirrup that is. “What a beautiful morning!” I announce joyfully. I…

I sit at my computer. I sip my coffee and think about today’s column. I know what I want to write about. I am angry. The summer has me a few days behind so I sift through my inbox first and open one of my Beliefnet e-mails. I look forward to seeing the highlighted features…

I sit watching television. The night grows dark outside the window. I scan the movies and choose one. It seems like the perfect choice. I think it will inspire me and get me thinking about one day moving forward and meeting someone new in my life. After all, that is what it is about. I…
