Not Everybody Has Somebody
This saying came to my mind this morning as I woke up really early praying for my cousin who is having brain surgery today. I know there are so many people praying for her. I started praying my "usual daily" prayers for my husband, my daughters, my mom, my in-laws, my...
A Winning Formula
I’ve watched a lot of basketball over the last few weeks. Well honestly, I’ve watched a lot of basketball over my whole life. The whole purpose of a basketball game is to see who can get the most points to WIN at end of a designated time period. We strategize, study...
I Found the Answer
I love time. I know it sounds weird, but I love time. I love watches. I love fun clocks. I love to-do lists and goals and all-the-new-rage Bingo cards that allow me to plan my days, weeks, months and year to the fullest. I love marking off items on the to-do lists. I...
Butterscotch, Cherry or Humble Pie?

Coming Soon!
A sign for the latest and greatest upcoming "whatever" certainly gets our attention, doesn't it? We don't want to miss out on something that is exciting and new and that other people will be in the know about. We certainly have some FOMO when we see "coming soon"...
A Driving Display
I read a fictional story the other day about a lady who got stopped by a police officer while driving to work. She was visibly upset and confused as to why she was handcuffed and arrested. After spending a few hours in jail, the police officer released her with an...
