I love February for so many reasons, and Valentine’s day of course is one of them. I love all the hearts and the red and the pink. What I love most though is knowing that it’s not just one day. We have a chance every day to tell those around us that we love them and… Continue reading Love yourself and love others
Sometimes the people you love the most, that you hold in the highest regard, and which you have the deepest respect for, can often hurt you with unkind words and believe that it’s ok. It isn’t ok. Words matter and they can hurt. Deeply. And it’s not because we are too sensitive, it’s because… Continue reading If it isn’t kind, keep it in your mind
I’ve been sick since Friday night with terrible body aches, chills, and a sore throat. The body aches have finally subsided today (yay!) but my throat remains sore as ever. My glands are definitely swollen and when I opened wide to peek at the back of my mouth, sure enough there was tons of deep… Continue reading Hey Pretty Girl
Lately I have been surprised by so many acts of kindness and love that I’m at a loss for words in expressing my gratitude to God and my family/friends and all I can say is a heartfelt Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

After my husband left for class I suddenly became so overwhelmed, emotional, and… Continue reading Option A: The Gym, Option B: Emotional Breakdown
Today’s inspiration comes from my daily Zelda Wisdom subscription. We all have busy schedules and things to take care of but we shouldn’t take for granted the significance of a “thank you” and telling someone how much you appreciate what they did/do for you. Remember that every day is a blessing and we can choose to be happy and make… Continue reading Take Time To Say Thank You
I couldn’t ask for anything more today. As I sit her reflecting on what I’d like to share I feel the warmth of the fireplace radiating on my back, our little bulldog Biggie is sleeping in his favorite spot sunbathing, and I hear the sound of music coming from the garage as my lovely husband… Continue reading Merry Christmas ~ 2010
I spent some time reading Anne of the Islands this morning and one of the things I like to do is take a phrase that touches my heart and expand on it a little bit more. I love how someone else’s words can inspire a worldwind of new ideas in every reader. In the book,… Continue reading Kindness
