Topic: The Gift of Forgiveness
I am so thankful for you. I want to ask you to do something for me. Pray. I am beginning to write my new book, The Emotionally Destructive Marriage and I am tempted to be overwhelmed and scared (as I always am when God takes me way out of my comfort zone). It will take me most of 2012 to…
Topic: The Gift of Kindness
Good morning friends, What a beautiful weekend we had here.

Morning friends, Today I’m flying home from sunny (and I mean SUNNY) California where I just spent nine wonderful but exhausting days cooking and taking care of my grandbabies. The weather has been unusually hot and I can’t believe I’m saying this, as a girl who LOVES the sunshine, but I think I’m looking forward to getting back to my…
How to Respond When Someone Hurts You
Good Monday friends, I am in sunny California this week being Nana to Amaya and Leilani and cooking up a storm for my daughter and her husband to have meals to eat for the next few weeks. I’ve decided for this week to share a video on a question and answer session I did at a women’s retreat last year.…
