A Little Time for Fun Today
This afternoon I had the pleasure of lazily drifting in my kayak on the lake behind our house with one of my dearest friends. We had a ball sharing our hearts, being heard by the other, and just hanging out. We have been trying to get together to do this […]
Read More...The Pricelessness of Friendship
After weeks of praying, prepping, analyzing, and re-analyzing my thoughts on friendship, I had the privilege of sharing the material with the women of Grace Presbyterian Church. We had a ball. Kelsey helped me at my book table, so it was a real party! The experience of preparing was more […]

I have no pictures from today, so I’m sharing this beautiful picture I took yesterday about 5:00am. Its colors are as beautiful and rich as my day was with relationship and emotions. I said goodbye to a dear friend of over twenty years. She is a missionary in a third […]
Read More...A Day to Not Take Pictures
No pictures of the faces in my life today. Today was a private day—a day of one-on-one relationships where taking a picture would have gotten in the way. I can tell you what I did, but I can’t show you. This morning I had a doctor’s appointment. I went in […]
Read More...My Inspiring Friend–from 1977
Today I was reunited once again with my best friend from high school. You know how life goes—each person goes their own way and we lose track of each other. It was harder to stay in touch when we were teens in the 70’s—pre-internet, no Facebook, no Instagram, no cell […]
