Eleven years ago, I was there – at the end of my rope. Holding on by threads, I knew if I let go I would plunge into a bottomless pit of despair. When cancer strikes, and death comes, and your life is changed forever, you are numb from the pain of loss. Any strength you’ve […]
A Bridge of Connection
As I was going through a box of memorabilia recently, I came across a favorite old story that was a simple, but valuable, reminder to always come back to what’s really important in life. Perhaps it will be a good reminder for you also. Here’s how the story goes… Once there were two farmers who […]
The Emotional Pandemic You Face
Most of us have never had to go through a worldwide pandemic that has caused such a magnitude of change to our country and to our daily lives. Millions of people have had their lives uprooted and changed by the physical effects of illness, death, or loss of a job or business. They may be […]
What to do when you are on lockdown
“Social distancing” is a new term in my world. Don’t get too close, don’t touch, and definitely don’t hug.
