Digging for Love

As I started helping people in conflict work to reconcile, I knew what steps needed to be taken and what words and actions needed to appear in that process.  But getting to the place where “they” recognized what needed to be done with regard to their own contribution to the problems was the big obstacle

Salty Advice

“Where food meets faith” is the opening for a blog I want to feature here.  Isabel D. Price is related to a dear friend of mine – so that is how I learned of her email blog “New Life Promise”. She regularly reminds her readers that faith-focused food is all about finding nourishment.   Although

Savoring the Photos

It’s graduation season – and if it were not that, it could be wedding season or holiday season or new babies season (yep, that is every day!) or any other occasion where photos abound!  Everyone is snapping photos, texting them to each other, sharing them on social media.   My first grandchild is graduating from high

Are You an Intercessor?

Intercessor is kind of a big word that I just skipped on by not thinking I would ever need to know about it.   I thought it was something only a few folks were “called” to do.   But then a dear friend of mine who moved far away with his wife to be close to

What Do I Do With All This Stuff?

What stuff?  It’s all the family history stuff – you know, letters, documents, obituaries, funeral guest books, Bibles, photos, media (VHS, super 8 film, audio cassettes, etc.), family tree sheets (half-completed by some unknown person), newspaper clippings, annuals, and the list goes on and on. Maybe you are the Family Historian by choice – active

The Best Bread Ever

Did your kids have a habit of saying “best ever”?  Like “best brownies ever” or “best vacation ever” or “best bike ever”?    I find myself in that groove, too.  Always searching for the “best ever” in recipes, fix-it’s, gifts, photos and family stories – whatever subject you name. And when I started eating gluten free,

Stress –  Good or Bad?

Is stress good or bad? OK, you are going to get the “lawyer” answer here – “it depends”! Probably the most common words you hear when someone is talking about stress are negative words – stress is something to be avoided.   But truth be told, it is a natural and expected part of daily life

What? That’s Not Our Surname?

I have one foot in the genealogy world and one foot in the “family passed this along” world. What is one of the biggest challenges to both? Organization.  And for more reasons than the obvious one. For genealogy-focus folks — did you just make a trip to a library with a family history focus?  You

Who Do You Trust?

Let’s go at this a bit differently, ok?  At first glance, when you see “who do you trust”, you may start searching through your list of “mom” “dad” “close friend” “attorney” etc., evaluating each one. But let me re-direct you for a moment.  Back to when someone you thought you could trust actually failed you.

Motion is Lotion

I was recently with a friend whose mother is 90 years old, still drives, is active and is mentally sharp.  Her mother’s favorite saying about activity is “motion is lotion”.  I loved that!   And I so agreed with her as I had recently discovered some back & hip pain relief exercises that were really helping
