Time for Gratitude: Day One
Today I am grateful for those who understand me completely and love me unconditionally.
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 for Non-Direction: A Direction
I have been thinking of a direction for my blog. The nickname for the site is “9a Clock” so really I can write about whatever I want...cause it’s my time. I’m not a cook. In fact, I literally served my husband cardboard last night (it was an accident. I promise). I don’t particularly garden. I…
Time to Quote: Friendship

Time to Create: Kazuri Beads
On the trip to Kenya, Tim and I met many people and saw many things. After reflecting on the blog I realized I didn’t talk a lot about some of the “touristy” things we did and saw – besides the safaris of course! Dad and Sue put on our “must see” list a trip to…
Time to Give: Holiday Giving
Gift giving can be difficult. How do you find the perfect gift for those you care about most? I try to put a lot of effort into the gifts I give loved ones but sometimes it feels like I am buying things people do not need and may not even want (despite my best and…
I was reminded of a quote recently that I am sure I have heard from time to time but now it takes on new meaning. Thank you Mom and coworkers for reminding me of it. May I live it out daily... “Do all the good you can. By all the means you can. In all…
