“Social distancing” is a new term in my world. Don’t get too close, don’t touch, and definitely don’t hug. These are words that are quite the opposite behavior in my relationships with people I know and love. This is a time in our nation, and in our world, that we could never have imagined living […]
A Rocking Chair and a Prayer
I have many treasured childhood memories that continue to impact my life, even today. One in particular is my grandmother, Leila Brown, who was known by her grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and cousins, as simply, Mother Brown. She was, indeed, another mother figure to all of us and the matriarch of our family. All of us […]
Get in Line Every Day
It happened years ago on a busy two-lane road that was a major thoroughfare from south to north Phoenix. My husband, Bill, was driving home from work in his small two-door pickup truck and had stopped at a red light. He looked in his rear view mirror and saw a car coming in the distance […]

They are a gentle reminder of what I should already know. “Stay thoughtful today, Susan, in […]
Comfortable With Silence
I recently spent a weekend with a friend at her farm to enjoy cool weather, a change of scenery, and some down time before my busy fall schedule began. Her home was only accessible by miles of dirt road and was completely surrounded by acres of beautiful green farm land. An occasional creek would wind […]
3 Things I Learned from Zacchaeus. And More!

Sometimes the heat in our lives rises to the pressure point or the stress level because… the unexpected happens, our circumstances change, the rug gets pulled out from under us, life comes crashing down, hopes and dreams are shattered.
