Strength is a Lady Named……
Tomorrow is Mother’s Day and that day always brings up a lot of different emotions for me, as I am not lucky enough to still have my momma, nor was I blessed enough to become a mom myself in this life. I have, however, been blessed enough to have had – and still have – many strong…

Respect… Give It, Get It.
Every day when we go out into the world, we never know who or what we are going to run into. We don’t know if we will come across people that are in a good mood or a foul, nasty one. Either way, it should have no bearing on us or own mood. Why shouldn’t it,…

The True Spirit of Christmas
Christmas, what a wonderful, magical time of year.
