In reflecting on Good Friday, Passion/Holy Week, all that happened and all that followed, it is clear to me that something always occurs in my life during Holy Week to distract me from focusing on what this week means to me in terms of my personal faith and how it affects my life. Some things […]

A BLESSING OR A CURSE? THE (EM)PATH FORWARD…
Can you think of a time in your life when you had to make a decision about which path to take? Kind of like Dorothy in The Wizard Of Oz – “Which way do we go, Toto?” Every day we’re faced with choices. Most are about the small things in life. But sometimes you come […]

With the month of June being named after Juno, the Roman goddess of marriage, home, and family, and also coming off of Memorial Day and celebrating Father’s Day in June, I have been thinking about my stepdad, Ron, a lot in recent days.

WAITING…
This week in 2017 I returned from a holistic retreat in one of the most beautiful parts of the state. After driving the first hour and 15 minutes, then stopping for groceries, I turned down the dirt road that would lead me down the final path to the secluded ranch, my anticipation level was high […]
