I have always known that words matter. Words are powerful and in a single moment can make you feel loved and special but words said in the heat of anger or despair can also destroy. A word of encouragement from a parent, a teacher or a college professor can change the trajectory of a persons […]
Three Words Gave the World Someone Special
I called and she picked up

I called and she picked up. I wasn’t sure if the number I had was her landline or her cell. If it was her cell it was a gamble as she often lost it or it wasn’t charged so when she picked up I smiled. Several times I told her who I was but two […]
The Gift of Everyone’s Story

When my Dad was a boy he was rather introverted. He much preferred to spend time with his dog and his duck. Yes a duck. My grandmother claimed this duck produced the tastiest eggs ever. Never had a duck egg so guess I will take her word for it. In any case my father was […]
So I was just hanging there like a side of beef….

It’s Thoughtful Thursday..Spread kindness like glitter
It’s Thoughtful Thursday : I will always be up for you..even if it’s 3am

I have been kind of absent here. I had good intentions to get posts written but real life got in the way and then there is my dedication to procrastination. I have written dozens of posts in my head but somehow they never made it onto paper or on the computer. In a nutshell our […]
Letting go and finding kindness…It’s Thoughtful Thursday!

It’s been awhile since I have had the time to post on Thoughtful Thursdays. Feels good to be back and I am grateful that I have lots to share. Ironically I have been graced with many “thoughtful” moments from good friends, family and chance meetings with strangers who will never know how they touched my […]
