Imagine with me for a moment that what you have been waiting for, for a very long time, has finally come. You are living the dream! But then the next day you are asked to give the dream up or to give away what you have received? What would you...
Life Issues
Even in the Waiting
Have you ever had to wait for something for a very long time? Are you still waiting even now? Waiting is so hard, isn’t it? Every period of waiting carries its own weight. It might feel like a ton of bricks and manifest as hopelessness that anything will ever come...
It Goes By Fast
Ohhhh, my old friend November… We have a love/hate relationship, don't we? I LOVE the feeling of fall in the air and pumpkin everything, but I am not a fan of how quickly time passes and before I know it, you are gone. We will blink again, and it will be January....

Is It Possible To Love And Disagree?
This year, I found myself very ‘checked in’ during Super Bowl Sunday. I have to admit that normally I am only there for the food and the company. This year was different. I was a part of a project that filmed a commercial especially for the Super Bowl. However,...
Days That Shape History
My hope is that as we share a few moments today, we respect each other’s point of view, even if it differs from our own, as we take a look at January’s of the past and the present. One year ago, January 22, 2019 I texted my dad and asked if my mom had ever...
