While I enjoy a few days of R&R, here is a timely re-post from the start of Spring last year… Spring officially began [this week.]. As the temperatures warm up, windows open, trees bud and flowers bloom, thoughts turn to… Spring cleaning? Yes! Why not make it a family affair wrapped around charitable giving? First, [...]

Sunday Service: Spring cleaning, Spring giving
March 25, 2012Thank you Thursday
March 15, 2012Monday, on a flight from Chicago to Columbus, I sat next to Elvis. Well, sort of. I sat next to a startling Elvis look-alike, an actor/musician playing the part of Elvis in a musical currently running in Chicago. He and a few more cast members were on the flight. The others were sitting in the two [...]
Book Review: Nearing Home
March 3, 2012Nearing Home written by Billy Graham, published by Thomas Nelson Inc., 2011. Do you ever think about when or how your life will end?

Book Review – Emotional Equations
February 27, 2012Over the last six months, I have been learning a lot about measuring performance at work. “What is measured gets done,” according to Peter Drucker. Makes sense, right? However, as someone who has spent more than ten years immersed in building on a culture of service, studying the impact of leadership, and committed to the [...]
Thank you Thursday
February 16, 2012Every day, I DVR The Ellen Show. In the evening, I catch up as time allows. Last night, I watched Monday’s show with guest Jennifer Lopez. Jennifer was wearing a black skirt with the word L-O-V-E across the front. Ellen commented that it is good for the universe to wear clothes with positive words like that. She asked [...]
Thank you Thursday
February 9, 2012Last weekend my husband and I spent four days with our son, his wife and their 2-1/2 month old baby. Last time we saw them, the baby was only two weeks old. So much has changed so quickly! Today, I am thankful for the joys found in this time with our grandson. It’s been a long while [...]
Thank you Thursday
January 26, 2012As I write this, it’s Wednesday evening, and I’ve been sitting with my fingers poised over my laptop, talking to my husband and watching a recording of today’s Ellen Show. Until a few moments ago, I was stuck on what to write for this week’s TYT post. It has been a very trying few weeks. I’ve been [...]
Sunday Service – Be a snow angel
January 22, 2012We woke up to our first “real” snowfall yesterday, about three inches covering our neighborhood. While I plugged away at a project for work, my husband went outside and cleared the snow from our driveway. Listening to the morning news, I heard that in the New York City area, not too far from where most of our family [...]
Tuesday Tidbit
January 10, 2012Have you tried Pinterest yet? Essentially, it’s an electronic bulletin board on which you can “pin” things you find online that “interest” you. You could set up a board to collect ideas for your wedding, how to decorate your new house, vacation destinations or fashion ideas. You can also peruse boards that other people have created and re-pin their [...]
Recipe for a happy new year
January 1, 2012N0 alcohol, no pork and sauerkraut, no herring in this new year’s recipe! This comes from appleseeds.org, quoted from an anonymous author. I hope your new year is made of all these things. Take twelve fine, full-grown months; see that these are thoroughly free from old memories of bitterness, rancor and hate, cleanse them completely [...]
