I sometimes wonder what women would do if there was no other agenda than to simply better themselves and care for others? Somewhere between the feminist movement and the sexual revolution mixed and contradictory messages have been presented to our gender on the role, actions and attitudes of females. Equality or Superiority, Self Confidence or Self Interest, are women Sexually Liberated or Sexually Demeaned? Have these cultural shifts made us better or simply confused us?
I once again have Bronchitis determined to awaken me every night to a 3-hour coughing fit between 12 and 3 a.m. It’s been going on for a while so even though I had already gone to the doctor I returned for a second visit. He agreed with my pitiful assessment that I needed immediate help and wanted whatever that meant. A steroid shot then an antibiotic shot. After that a prescription for a strong antibiotic and more steroids!
I know we’ve all been convinced Mother’s Day occurs each year on some Sunday in May. I sometimes wonder if it's a restaurant and retail conspiracy. But I’m here to tell you that is not the mothers day I love. Yes, it’s on the calendar, all children, spouses, and various family members are required to give gifts or send flowers.
Your girl has been invited to the prom. It’s a great moment in her life; she dreamed of being a princess since she was little and she is certain this is the chance. You on the other hand, knowing everything that can happen on prom night have a bucket load of misgivings.
We spend an enormous amount of time telling our children they are capable of achieving. Whatever they dream we tell them to do. We tell them they are smart, talented because we want them to believe they are! But what if our actions tell a different story.
The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down. Proverbs 14:1 - Ladies, we are all a builder or we become a member of a demolition crew. The tools we use are our words, our actions, our nature.
The scurrying of the Christmas season is in full swing. Decorating the tree, stringing the lights on palm trees out front then put out the Merry Christmas lighted sign. Pulling the other boxes from storage I try to remember why I have all this stuff, I unpack it anyway. The Santa photos from the girls growing up, the table setting I bought years ago, the Snow Village and the four nativity sets (can never have too many nativities)
Thanksgiving is one of those special holidays. The warm and fuzzy kind. It’s an opportunity to share the day with amazing friends and family. We can eat an enormous amount of unbelievably rich and highly caloric food with absolutely not an ounce of guilt (what’s not to love about that?). It’s the day we sit back and enjoy all things that are good in life. Most of us take the time to ponder and share with thos
Recently had lunch at a wonderful lakeside restaurant where my server was a cute incredibly perky girl in her mid twenties. I love that age because this is so often the beginning of new life roads. I am intrigued about whom they are, where they are going and what they plan to do about it. So, as I often do I asked her what her future held, which she answered she said she was looking at bridal magazines. The obvious response from me c
Have you noticed we ladies can hold onto to almost anything? I’m not talking about the sweater we have worn for the last 8 years that’s soooo comfortable but threadbare. Or the tweezers that used to pull out hair without taking an ounce of blood with it. You bought the good ones. They cost $ 20.00, which surely means they were meant to last forever.
