Scripture: “If anyone else thinks he has reason for confidence in the flesh, I have more: circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee; as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to righteousness under the law,…
I remember this time last year….we had recently returned from our amazing and sun filled trip to St. John- which was healing and spiritual and wonderful. We came back to WEEKS of this- cold, gray, wet….,yuck. Yes, THIS is the NE weather I hate the most. It’s like Heartbreak Hill- just when you think you…
The AWESOME book by Shonda Rhimes -The Year of YES- chronicles Shonda’s process of getting out of a rut and saying yes to things that scared her. It is extremely inspiring, hysterically funny, crazy truthful and vulnerable. It is definitely making me think about ways that I can add some SPICE into my life. So…

“I write because I don’t know what I think until I read what I say.” -Flannery O’Connor This quote is perfect for me. I have only referred to myself as a writer in recent years. It is a big step – and a risk for me-to put my dream out there. To tell people…
Today’s post is a guest post, written by my good friend Lisa. I am trying to convince her to start a blog, because she inspires me every day. Here are Lisa’s words: “……….144 days; almost 5 months is how long I spent in the hospital at the age of ten. I was treated for Spinal…
I just came home from a very special gathering. The church, where Allan and I have been visiting- First United Methodist Church in Westborough- held a Blue Christmas service this afternoon.
