5 Tuesdays to…Hope

Security Alert…
A charge to my card that I don’t recognize, a call to report it to the fraud department – not so unusual these days. A world turned upside down wanting only self-indulgence, gain at any cost, and no regard for others – what was… Continue Reading “Security Alert…”
A Little Help Here…
Do-it-yourselfer? Got it handled? Not so much… Accepting help isn’t always easy for me. Somehow it makes me feel ‘less than’. That I’m not smart enough, strong enough, good enough. And so it is with too many of us when it comes to seeking… Continue Reading “A Little Help Here…”

Of the Free…
Freedom? An ideal, a wish, a reality? It is hard in a world bent on pleasing self to find true freedom. Whether under a tyrannical government or being a citizen of a country like America, if we define freedom by human reasoning or ideals then that… Continue Reading “Of the Free…”
Passing It On…
Filled, overflowing – do you ever feel ‘filled up’ – the satisfying kind? Like when the skies are blue, no one is in crisis, and you sigh contentedly? That’s my moment right now. We all know in this world that ‘feeling’ can change in the… Continue Reading “Passing It On…”
