We just planted trees in our yard a few weeks ago. Forty of them! It really didn’t take that long to plant them but it does take some time to water them. They have to be watered every other day so I have to be intentional about watering them because I want them to live. […]
Something I find so special and sacred is that only the Father can truly see my heart. Even when we are real to others as we share our stories, the One within us – our Creator and Savior – is the only One who truly sees our entire heart, the complete picture. Even when we […]
Have you ever sensed you needed a time of rest? Or maybe you just needed to reset? These past couple of weeks have been a time to clear my calendar and simply rest. No rushing. No appointments. Just rest and a time of reflection. I truly believe when we take time to rest whether it’s […]
My heart rejoices that it’s springtime! Spring means flowers. And one of my simple joys is flowers! Whether they are wild flowers, fresh flowers, or even the little wild violets sprinkled in the lawn, they simply bring joy to my heart. They are a beautiful reflection of the Creator.

Last week, I lost something and forgot something, all in the same day. On the days I drive early in the morning, I always treat myself with a coffee from Dunkin Donuts. (Treat yourself every now and then – that’s a blog for another day 😉 ). I realized as I was getting ready to […]
I was taking a walk in the mountains last weekend and while it was chilly out, I embraced the sunlight and the anticipation of spring that I know is so close. Most of the trees didn’t have buds but I did notice that a few were trying. My soul was delighted at the glimpse of […]
