Have you ever been on a path – a road – a journey and you kept encountering road blocks? Or that path seemed to have lost its luster? The excitement was gone (or really… it never was there to begin with)? You just may be on the wrong path – the...
St Patrick’s Day is tomorrow. A day of luck. A day of green. A day of leprechauns. It is also a special day in our household. It’s my husband’s birthday. Our house has been blessed with a pot of gold – my husband. You’re the pot of gold at the end of...
I remember as a child, being small and always having to physically look up to others. I never thought I’d be big enough to look eye to eye someday. Now that I am, there are still those who I look up to (but not in the physical sense). How about you? Do you...
