  • You Are Not A Wave December 1, 2021
    Mitch Albom said, in his wonderful book, Tuesdays, with Morrie, “You’re not a wave, you’re a part of the ocean.” This quote has hit me more than once over the past few days as I walk along the deck or watch from the stern of the ship or stroll on a beach. I watch the […]
  • Preserving Tradition November 24, 2021
    I have wonderful memories of holiday meals with my extended family. We would all gather for every major holiday–Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter–and most of the minor holidays–Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and often Independence Day. The faces at the table changed over time. Babies came, loved ones passed, and new husbands or wives appeared. Always present, though, […]
  • Are You Simply a Human Doing? November 17, 2021
    Lately, I see so many people, particularly young people, desperately trying to figure out who they are. Most people can’t answer the simple question, who are you? When asked, the majority of people would probably respond, I am so-and-so’s mother, daughter, son, cousin, husband, etc. OR they would respond, I’m a doctor or a teacher […]
  • Sisters in Faith, Love, and Grace November 10, 2021
    It’s been almost six years now since I first walked on the holy ground of Israel where I met the people who would come to be major players in my game of life. I still can’t believe the many gifts and blessings I received on that pilgrimage and the countless ones I’ve received since then. […]
  • A Past and A Future November 3, 2021
    A couple days ago, something I was working on with a friend reminded me of this story. When my girls were younger (our oldest, Rebecca, was between her junior and senior years of high school), we visited Italy. Rebecca asked her friends what she could bring back to them, and one of them said, “Find […]
  • How To Stop Living in Fear October 27, 2021
    Halloween week is upon us, the week when everyone wants to experience a healthy dose of fear. We dress up in scary costumes and parade our kids around after dark, visiting haunted houses and homes decorated like graveyards with spooky sounds drifting from open windows. There’s something about being afraid, whether it’s while watching a […]
  • Brownies – Good for the Body and the Soul October 20, 2021
    I am a brownie person, and I’ve raised brownie-loving girls! It’s not unusual for me to come down in the morning (when the girls are home) to find a batch of brownies on the kitchen counter–half-eaten of course! On the other hand, I’ve come down to peanut butter cookies, oatmeal no-bake cookies, and cakes in […]
  • Rosie the Wonder Dog October 13, 2021
    When I was a child, I loved watching Super Friends every Saturday morning. It was my favorite of all the Saturday morning cartoons, and I have fond memories of lying on our basement floor, wrapped in a blanket, while following the adventures of Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Superman, and the rest of the superheroes. Two of […]
  • Reassess Your Gift-Giving October 6, 2021
    I read this morning that Amazon, Target, and other retailers are having “Black Friday-worthy” sales all this month to encourage everyone to do their Christmas shopping while supplies last. According to the financial newsletter The Morning Brew (which I read faithfully every morning even though I know nothing about finance), “Factories in Asia have been […]
  • Be Cured of Your Affliction September 29, 2021
    For the past few weeks, at the urging of my nursing student daughter, I’ve been seeing a chiropractor for the persistent pain in my lower back. After a three-hour consultation but before treatments began, the doctor sent me for a series of x-rays. I think I had more x-rays done that morning than all of […]
