Sharing Joy
My dad has been a photographer since he was a teenager. He worked for school newspapers and yearbooks, and has been involved in several camera clubs and organizations through the years. He has thousands of photos, negatives, and slides; some that date back 80 years or more. He printed his own pictures with darkroom equipment […]
It’s Not About Me
This morning in prayer I was thinking about what it takes to best serve others with love. The words that came to my mind were, “It’s not about you.” It is truly freeing when I think about things in this way. If someone says something that hurts my feelings – It’s not about me. More […]
Ask Siri
So last night while I was at dinner with my friend, I kept my phone out . . . just in case my parents had to contact me. I checked it from time to time and was pleased that there were no emergency calls. Later, my parents told me what happened while I was gone. […]
What is Success
A good friend and I went to dinner tonight to celebrate her birthday. We have been friends for about 25 years now and have always had a great time when we get together. She is one of those people that attract and/or intrigue other people. The hostess in the restaurant sat us at a booth in the bar. […]
Good Friend Connection

A New DIY Retreat
A couple years ago I participated in a “DIY” retreat called “33 Days To Morning Glory”. It included readings, small group discussions, and watching videos at the weekly meetings. The author and leader of the video teachings is Fr. Michael Gaitley. He is a young priest with a heart on fire with love for Jesus and […]
Answered Prayer
This morning I heard from a friend who asked for prayers. Her mother was headed to the doctor’s office with a serious condition and of course she was very worried. I sent the word out to family members who know her and we all said some prayers. My friend called later in the day to […]
Epiphany
Epiphany! Aha! I get it now! I love the word, the meaning, the church celebration. The gospel reading Matthew 2:1-12 was the story of the wise men – or Magi – who made the journey to see the infant Jesus. They knew and read the signs in the sky. They followed the star to the […]
Quiet Prayer
I was having a hard time thinking about what to blog tonight. So, I put on my new very soft warm pj’s that my sister gave me for Christmas, wrapped up in the prayer shawl my prayer group gave me when I moved, climbed into bed and turned on the electric blanket. I started praying […]
