Hiding…. Do you ever want to hide? I know I have certainly been guilty of hiding at times in my life. Recently, I had some cosmetic injections done – with the hopes of erasing some of the age lines on my face. The doctor doing the injections told me the procedure would erase 8 years […]
Scars As I was reading a book recently, I noticed the main character seemed a bit odd. She might be described as type A personality; high-stress, impatient – maybe even a bit aggressive. As I continued to read, the story began to give hints about the scars this young woman carried. Little by little it […]
I Still Believe… While walking one day, God spoke to me about believing. Walking through an event like a pandemic can leave us with many doubts about the future. Yet, as I walked that day, I heard Him say: “Still believe”. My mind turned to the many times I had doubted: the premature birth of […]
Anyone else relate to this title, Healing Is A Beast? I certainly can! The Beast I was reminded of this recently, in a very painful way. It started out as a normal Saturday morning. Tim and I enjoyed our morning coffee together, did some brainstorming about changes we could make with our business, took our […]

The first is when Joyce Smith arrives at the hospital and is escorted into the ER room where her 14-year-old son lies lifeless. All life-saving measures have been stopped. John fell through the ice into Lake Sainte Louise, […]
A while back, I flew out to spend a week with my daughter Mia, her husband Sam and their first baby Aiden—then only two weeks old. I was so excited to meet my newest grandson! Having a newborn in the house meant there would be some big changes and adjustments for their little family. I […]
Usually I enjoy occasional travel, but last year was very different. Not only did I spend more time traveling than most years; there was an unprecedented number of delays. I’ve come to expect holdups from snow and ice when flying in the winter. However, I mostly took flights in the summer, so it was odd […]
Visiting my daughter recently, I noticed she had put the cards on display that she’d recently received for her birthday. There they were all on top of her mantel.
