Summer at the Ballpark
I have so many memories of summers at the ballpark. Mostly Friday night church league softball watching my Dad play while hanging out with my friends or watching kids I babysat at the fields followed by Mazzio’s pizza with our refill cups. I did play a bit of t-ball and my brother did as well, so it’s fun…

Crafting and creating have always been an outlet for me. I learned to sew as an Elementary student participating in my local 4-H Sewing Club and have picked up other crafting hobbies along the way. I love jewelry and multi-strand bead necklaces, etc., so why not make it myself! This summer I’ve had a lot…
Read MoreIs Mike really magic?
It seems Magic Mike is the hit movie of the summer for girls day or night out and the rave of women everywhere. One of those “everyone is seeing it” movies. One of those that I couldn’t quite define why I didn’t want to see it, but never did want to see it. I realize,…

This summer I’ve been jogging in a neighborhood with lots of hills, having realized yesterday would be the last day I would be working out at 6pm. The heat was finally too much, I will have to go early in the morning or later in the evening. While on my route I regularly see deer in yards, in wooded…

Aside from wanting to be a Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader, my earliest memory of what I wanted to be when I grew up was a Teacher. As a child armed with leftover mimeograph copies from my school I ran a school room in my bedroom passing out, taking up and grading papers of my imaginary students. Throughout my…
Read MorePapa – A Legacy
My Mom and I sat at the kitchen table Wednesday morning having coffee, talking about the decline of my Papa and his eminent death when my Mom mentioned to me if there was anything I would want to share at his funeral, or write. It brought a lump to my throat just thinking about it, much less…

As evening settled in Puerto Rico I returned to my hotel room, opened the doors and settled onto my patio listening to waves crashing as the sun disappeared and the moon arose. There are times I still take my mind back to that balcony, I can immediately recall my thoughts while sitting there. Having been in…

Also posted on Start Marriage Right: When I drove away from my parent’s house on January 1st having spent three weekends with the youngest to oldest members of my family celebrating Christmas and New Years my heart was happy and content. I am thankful for that peace as so many singles feel disappointment during the…

Days quickly become weeks, weeks become months and months a year before you know it. It seems like with any major change after you get through the first month, routine becomes regular and/or a new normal settles in. Since all of my boxes were shaken up and packed up, one month has passed and I can say…
Read MoreI’m praying for you
I can’t even count the times I’ve said it or been told, but hearing “I’m praying for you” spoken over me is one of the most humbling things I will ever be told in my life. Anytime I tell someone that I am praying for them, I mean it and believe prayer is what keeps…
