Autumn brings more than just falling leaves. It brings a cool breeze, vibrant colors and change. It also seems to be the season for moving.
I finished packing last month and moved down to Texas where I am now unpacking all the boxes, trying to find room for everything. Some days it seems there are more boxes to unpack than I remember packing. It’s quite a challenge having to re-organize and re-think my storage choices when I was so used to the set-up I had. But give me a month or two and… Read More

School days, school days, dear old golden rule days…wow, does that tune ever bring back memories! As parents around the country prepare to send their children off to school for another year, many baby boomers are experiencing the season from another perspective. Some of us have an empty nest for the first time, while for others it’s been years since we pushed a loaded cart through the school supply aisle of our local Wal-Mart.
I don’t envy one bit the challenges today’s parents have in getting kids ready for… Read More

Reaching out to others has two aspects. On one side we have God’s Word encouraging us to reach out and help others, to treat our neighbors as ourselves, to shine God’s love and light into the lives of others whenever possible. But what about the other side? When reaching out to others means asking for help—allowing them to do for us that which we cannot do for ourselves? Or perhaps shouldn’t be doing for ourselves? This kind of reaching out isn’t always easy for me. Nor is it easy for my husband

I’m currently reading Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott, the bestselling author of Traveling Mercies. Subtitled, Some Instructions on Writing and Life, it’s turning out to be far more about the latter than the former.
As a writer, I’m always reading books that will help me fine tune my craft, especially since I consider myself sorely lacking in the craft department. I figured Lamott’s book would be a 
good resource. Little did I know that her memory exercises would not only spur me on to be a better… Read More

“The greatest level of wisdom man can hope to attain is the realization of how little he knows.”
Socrates
There will be no lack of reminders as Mother’s Day approaches. Television commercials will encourage us to buy Mom the latest “whatever.” Banners will hang in store windows from the east to west coast. Restaurants will offer elaborate champagne brunches in honor of Mother’s Day. Everywhere we look will be reminders of a special day set aside to honor the women who shaped our lives as daughters.
I used to enjoy this day… Read More

“We love because he first loved us.”
(1 John 4:19 NIV)
Since this column for baby boomer women launched in January, I’ve been talking a great deal about achieving the dreams of our heart. About walking in the purpose God has for our life. I’ve been encouraging my fellow boomer sisters to take more risks—to trust that God has a plan for our life that is infinitely greater than anything we could ever hope or dream for.
Yet while this all sounds well and good and I do believe it to be true, I’ve had a heavy heart these… Read More
