One and Only?
I am a huge fan of Costco and Sam’s Club! Buying in bulk! What a marvelous concept! If one of something is good, then ten of the same thing is fantastic! haha! Thinking in terms of “bulk” is quite common. If one shirt fits nicely, I will buy it in every color. Have to have…

One of “those weeks”
It’s been one of those weeks. They are unavoidable, and they have a way of bringing ones attitude into the dumps. The electricity has been off 75% of the time…causing the food to go bad, the water isn’t running, the temperatures are hovering at 35 Celsius every day…and the dust is flying, my rosacea is…

Relentless Pursuit
Life can be such a struggle at times. For some the struggle seems constant. There are seasons of pain and seasons of growth. There are seasons where life seems effortless. Right now I am going through some season…don’t know what it is, but I am tired. I am trying to hard to fit into a…

Travels…
Today has been a day that I have looked forward to for awhile. Not because I want to leave my African village…but because my favorite thing to do is to travel! The sound of my suitcase zipping up is one of my favorites. Sitting in airports, watching people come and go, is something that I…

Laughter!
There is a form of therapy that is becoming mainstream. It’s called laughter therapy. People stand in a room and laugh…that’s it. It starts out as fake laughter, but soon turns into genuine, belly hurting, screams of mirth. Tears and happiness ensue. Sounds like fun, doesn’t it? I know, it obviously sounds a little out…

Toxic Choices
There are times when we can really see the consequences of the decisions we made when we were younger. For example…the career we have, the spouse beside us, and where we live. Often times those decisions were good. We would still choose the same career, the same spouse, and maybe even the same home. But,…
