Today (and absolutely everyday) I am ever so grateful to come home to a place where critters are excited and happy to see me (even if it's just for the fact that I'm the hand that feeds them)!!!
Time for Gratitude: Day Ten
Time for Gratitude: Day Nine
Today I'm grateful for those moments when one of my loved ones intuitively knows I need a picture of something or someone present in their day. It just makes me pause from what I'm doing or feeling to appreciate the lives that surround me.
Time for Gratitude: Day Seven
I'm grateful today for surprising moments. I'm not a particularly adventurous person. I don't seek out thrills or out-of-the-ordinary things. However I try to never say no to new opportunities. So when my friend Jennifer suggested we go to a "Field and Vine" experience, I quickly accepted the invitation. The Field and Vine events are catered…

Today I'm grateful for lazy days. Once in a while- being lazy is a gift.
Time for Gratitude: Day Five

I always try to remain open to the chance to learn new things- whether it's professionally or personally. Sometimes I'm prepared to learn and other times the lessons come out of nowhere. May I…
Time to Honor: Poem for my Oldest Sister
I'm not a poet. I wish I was a poet because poems are shorter than stories, and much more to the point. With that said however, I decided to write a poem for my sister Trish on her birthday (April 30th). So Trish, here you go. Happy Birthday. I love you. And no- poems don't…
Time to Reflect: Perceptions of Differences
I’m an introvert. Shocking to those who know me, but it’s true. I’m an introvert and when I walk into places, I do not usually want to be noticed. I simply want to do what I need to do, visit with those I care about, and leave…unnoticed. I’ve always found myself a bit “odd”. I’m…
