Prime Time for \"Prime\"
Pin itWhat is the prime time to be \”prime\” anyway??? My friend Julie told me about the woman who won the Seattle Danskin Triathlon. She informed me that the winner, Lisa Walker, is a 43 with a 13 year old and a 10 year old. In the Danskin one can sign up as Elite, in [...]
My Heart Aches
Pin itToday has been a difficult one. The child of a friend from church died this morning. When I found out this morning, I felt so sick to my stomach, I felt like I might throw-up. My own physical reaction surprised me… At church yesterday, the pastor shared that M was back in the hospital. [...]

"The smallest deed…
Pin itis better than the grandest intention.” Who said that? It’s brilliant. I am working to integrate this into my life. I find I focus so much mental energy on spectacular ideas that never benefit anyone, because they never get done! I’ve been wanting to send a card to a friend – oh and a [...]
