This blog may seem familiar to my readers of What a Great Word. I paired it with the Scripture that says: And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28, NIV God works! Say it out loud! […]
Perhaps we spend a lifetime exploring our heritage, figuring out where we came from and where we belong. We grow up hearing stories of our parents and grandparents and though some of those impact us, we go on to create our own stories, sometimes without looking back. My sister recently shared this photo of my […]
“I love you” is the most beautiful and most misunderstood phrase in any language. It’s a phrase that reminds us that somebody sees us, and cares about what is going on with us. It’s a phrase that brings a sense of longing, or belonging, or connection. It’s a phrase that comes with a mixed bag […]
Have you ever had someone in your life who loved you unconditionally, cared for you when you couldn’t, or wouldn’t care for yourself, and was loyal to a fault? They did all they could to help you become the person you were designed to be. They had their own style, their own way of showing […]

I’m dedicating this blog to an amazing woman who has been my friend and my mentor for over forty years. When I first met Margaret, she was a direct answer to prayer. I was new to Long Island, in my early twenties, and was looking for a new church home. I had visited a couple […]
What makes us happy? Though variations on the usual drivers of our happiness quotient exist, here’s a few reminders of why you can smile again today. Work: Whether you’re working away from home, or you’ve been retired for a few years, work that fulfills your soul makes you happy. When we consider the work we […]
One of my favorite books to write was one I called “Every Day Is Mother’s Day.” The idea of the book was the reminder that once you become a mother, you are always a mother. You don’t take a leave of absence from being a mother. You don’t get paid for being a mother. You […]
