Halloween in Greenwich Village in NYC is a cultural happening. Lower Manhattan literally shuts down during the parade. Imagine MardiGras, but with costumes and candy, and where the temperature is hovering right above freezing. It is something you just have to experience. This is my first Halloween in almost seven years that I’m missing theContinue reading Let’s Hear it for Halloween!
I think I’m going to call this season of my life, The Season of Awareness. Before I get into tonight’s post, I have to quickly mention a sponsor. It’s hard to believe that it’s almost time to start thinking about Christmas shopping. But, if you’re anything like me, I like to use Amazon to getContinue reading The Season of Awareness
So you know how Google is coming out with a new phone, and how they’re advertising it all over TV? (And no this isn’t an ad…) But their main selling point is twofold: First, that there’s unlimited photo storage, and secondly, that it can take a “selfie” through voice recognition, simply by saying, “Take aContinue reading Take A Selfie? #narcissism
I’m going back to Ohio tomorrow. Just for the weekend. Honestly, I’ve been counting down until this day for the last five weeks now. I just need to see my family. See how my mom is doing. For those who may be new to the blog, she had a stroke about ten months ago, andContinue reading The Price of Dreams

Allow me to set the stage here. Paint you a picture so you can catch a glimpse of how big of a dork I am. It’s a Wednesday evening. 6:30, and I’m in my little NYC kitchen, making a big, beautiful salad. I was super jazzed because I had bought some ~fancy~ ingredients to reallyContinue reading Beautiful Things
I have a confession: one that I’m really not proud of. But tonight at church, and really for the last couple weeks, I honestly have just felt…nothing. It’s like I’ve been spiritually numb. But tonight was different. I was actually getting angry. I was sitting in the pew, and just inexplicably fuming, being critical ofContinue reading Put the Fire Out
Confession: It’s less than 30 minutes before this post is supposed to go “live,” and I’m still staring at a blank screen. After Monday’s post, I’ve been, underwhelmed to say the least, to sit down and pour my heart out in an emotional and spiritually uplifting post. The response, and rather – the backlash –Continue reading Unfailing Love
My heart is shattered today at the news of the pure evil demonstrated last night in Las Vegas. My prayers and deepest sympathies are with our hurting nation right now, and especially the victims and their loved ones. I’ve been hard pressed to peel myself away from the news to write this post. The levelContinue reading More Than A Gun
