Marriage is a tricky gig. It takes work. Some days are good and all you can do is smile. Some days not-so-good, when it takes everything in you to smile. Whether you have been married six months or 60 years, the union of marriage humbles us (daily, sometimes hourly, because...we are human) and makes us… Continue reading Take Your Marriage From “Good to Great”
Where Do You Seek Wisdom?
"You have shown great and steadfast love to your servant David, my father, because he walked before you in faithfulness, in righteousness of heart toward you.

Lonely Wife in the Busy Life?
There once was a young couple living their best life with their four young children. Each spouse worked full time, trying to balance work, school, daycare, and sports for their two older kids, running every which way but loose.

Quit Hanging Out at Sin Saloon
I was standing at the nurse's station and some of the nurses and other staff members, mostly women, were simply talking about this, that, or the other. The conversation then turned to a rather inappropriate nature. I was simply standing there, listening, not really commenting on anything but I was certainly laughing at the jokes,… Continue reading Quit Hanging Out at Sin Saloon

I may be a little late to the game, Friends, but I've been noticing some of my peeps and maybe some sisters that I wish were my peeps (Thank You Social Media, LOL) have posted pics or short statements of whatever they were grateful for, on the… Continue reading Thankful IN All Circumstances
Let’s Make a Difference!
One of my favorite things to do is to get my cool gel pens out, in different colors, and send notes to the people in my life. These might be notes of encouragement, a "Thank You," a “Just because I was thinking of you,” an “I love you, Girl, you got this!” , or "You're… Continue reading Let’s Make a Difference!
