What Color is your Hope?
I see hope as yellow. Like the sunshine. Others see hope blue like calm water or white like purity easily lost. Hope is a dream a wish for something to come. It isn’t faith. Faith is something you have that says you trust someone else or yourself to do a thing or keep a promise.…

What’s Your Story
“Do not judge my story by the chapter you walked in on.” ~ unknown I have always loved the quote above. It is more than a quip about not judging others. It reminds us that everyone has a story. What you see when you interact with a person is one page in the story of…

Weird is Relative
How many times have you done something that you knew other people would consider weird? How many times have you actually been called weird? Why be like everyone else? Be unique. Be brave. Be different. Be fabulous. In my family we have a motto, “Embrace the weird!” Don’t worry about what others think. Just be…

On Loss and Sadness
This is my last post for awhile about death.

When to Walk
Every human should know when to walk away and you do know. It is hidden in that small voice that whispers to your good common sense. It is not easy to admit it to ourselves that our time at a place or with a person is done. Most often others see it before we do.…

Assumptions are Dangerous
You know what they say about assuming. Who they are I have no idea, but the saying goes, “To assume makes an ass of you (U) and me.” I have to admit I assume things. Often when I do, it is the negative that I assume. As in, “He will hate this.” or “He thinks…
