Are you as contented as a 2-year-old?
A few years ago I was eating breakfast on the deck with my oldest grandchild, Bauer, 2½ at the time. Thanks to my husband’s green thumb, the deck was bursting with beautiful blooms. As I stumbled around, chiding my foggy brain to wake up, little Bauer let out a small toddler sigh. “It’s lovely out …

“I refuse to be robbed of peace…”
Have you ever met someone and been amazed at the JOY and PEACE exuding from that person? Did simply being in their presence make you feel better about yourself and your world? I’d like to introduce you to one of those kind of people: my friend, Bola Montoya Taylor. Bola was a Filipino jazz …

Happy Trails to You!
Did I ever tell you about the time I sang in church with Roy Rogers? It was the fall of 1969 during my senior year of high school and my family was newly attending a small church in Apple Valley, California. One Sunday morning the four of us traipsed into the little sanctuary toward …

“Folks are usually about as happy as they make up their minds to be.”
I can’t promise you that Abraham Lincoln really did utter these words, but they have been attributed to him as far back as a 1914 newspaper column, and I agree with Honest Abe—or whomever really said them. And I can promise you that our minds can have an amazing impact on our bodies. I got …

Do You Need More Sunshine?
Do you start feeling a little funky in the fall? And by the time winter arrives are you downright depressed? Does your energy level disappear during the dark and you feel sluggish sans sun? Perhaps, you like me, have Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), a type of depression related to changing seasons. Now I must be …

Matt vividly recalls the moment the doctor gave them the diagnosis. “Acute leukemia were not …

“Do one thing every day that scares you.”
I love this quote attributed to Eleanor Roosevelt. I can only imagine how many “scary” things this American First Lady had to do each day. She was described as a shy child and was orphaned by age 10. Later her husband, Franklin D. Roosevelt, was stricken with polio, necessitating her expanded role in his political …

Given No Hope–Alive and Well 50 Years Later
“There is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.” Christopher Robin to Winnie‑the‑Pooh in Pooh’s Most Grand Adventure I love these words of encouragement from one best friend to another. They were the sentiment of a life-changing pep talk given to me in high school …

Can ANYTHING else go wrong???
If I believed in a “technology curse” (which I don’t), I would be convinced someone had put one on me! Allow me to recap the past few months of my life with technology: My cell phone Apple ID was all screwed up sending me dozens of error messages everyday. And after many, many hours of phone conversations …

Isn’t There a Faster Way to Wait?
“Why does it take so long to get back my blood work?” “I have to hang on the whole weekend for the test results?” “What do you mean the doctor can’t see me until next week?” “This waiting is killing me!” Ever moaned any of these phrases? I sure have. I once made the mistake …
