Trying too hard
“How are you doing?” A question many of us get asked multiple times a day. Sometimes I wonder what people’s reactions would be if I answered that honestly. “Terrible.” “Questionable.” “Way more emotional than I would want.” A time and place exists to be that honest, but before I can even dare to be sincere…

A Faithful Friend- In Memory of Doug Comstock
I am greatly indebted to A man I hardly knew Doug lived each moment with purpose and care And dearly loved his wife–they were the sweetest pair.

Trust&Transition
Christmas will be here before we know it. Personally, that makes me quite excited. I love this time of year! No, I have not started listening to Christmas music yet- although I have been tempted to. I started to recall the excitement I had as a child, especially when all the gifts were around the…

Unfoldin Joy
Do you ever feel like your life has been put fast forward mode?You realize change is taking place but you feel as if you have no control, that everything is meshing into a confusing blur?
