Recipe for Peace

So, what’s your recipe for PEACE? In a day and age where chaos seems to be the theme of the day, what gives you a sense of calm? For me…it’s pretty much what’s listed on the meme. So in order to achieve PEACE, I think on the things that warm my heart (my blessings: kids and grandkids and my pup),…

Change Your Perspective

It is time…especially with a new year fast approaching…to take stock of our lives and consider whether or not a change is needed. Ask yourself these questions: Are you happy with where you are at in life? Do you desire more in your life? Do you think you can change certain things? Are you willing and determined to succeed in…

The day before Christmas….

The night before Christmas and all through the house…. not one light was blinking nor mistletoe hung…it was all quiet and still in the house. WHAT? Have you become a GRINCH? Are you out of your mind? You don’t celebrate the most beloved holiday ever known to man? The crowd roared with disbelief! With eyes that twinkled and a dimple…

Perspective…

Yep….so true. Everything that happens in your journey here on this side of the time realm….is all about perspective!  How’s that you say? Well, how you view something, is how you will approach it. If you view something that happens to you as catastrophic…or devastating..than you will possibly sink into despair or depression. Falling into this trap and having this…

The Story of Life…inside Chanukah

The story of life you say? Yes. I believe that one can discover the meaning of ‘life‘ inside the symbolism and history of this minor feast day….this historical event where a handful of determined, patriotic, God-fearing people overcame the struggles of an oppressive, tyrannical, ruling elite. Stay with me, let me explain. We can all agree that ‘life‘ has value…

A Cowboy Hat

So….what’s in a cowboy hat? Well, I’ll tell you – when you put one on, you’re whole attitude changes, your perspective changes and you just feel ‘different.’ Go ahead, try it…I’ll wait. ……… Ok…so – what’s the verdict? Did it translate you into a totally different atmosphere? Did you stand a bit taller, lift your chin a bit higher? Well,…

Mid-week Ramblings

Here we are again…mid-week ramblings. So as I catch my breath from the past weekend after having a really fun-time with family, I’m already looking forward to seeing them all again. The two great grandbabies are just sprouting up like weeds…and my grand daughters are not babies any longer either, they are turning into beautiful young women! How can this…

A Season of Lights…

The calendar has rolled around to this Season of Lights….and I’m not talking about the red, yellow and green light strings hanging from all the rooftops right now. I’m talking about some inner light emanating from a few special candles in a menorah on my kitchen table. Being by myself, lighting candles by myself….has been a little disconcerting this year….

Hump Day….

Yep……that’s what today feels like for me. Trying to get past the hump.Sometimes one just has to keep going … even if everything seems to be falling apart. And…while my advise to everyone who asks how to get out of one of those slump/hump days is to change your perspective. But then, as we all know, sometimes your own advise…

A Time to Pray for Peace

As we enter into another ‘end of the week’ I’ve realized that almost all of humanity takes a deep ‘sigh of relief’ that the week is over. Anyone ever think of that?  It’s strange … all of humanity takes a deep sigh of relief when Friday rolls around. Maybe it’s a God thing. So as  Friday rolls around, let’s pause,…
