My heart has been heavy. The world’s heart is heavy.
It was our year to return in person for CFC, and I was naive enough to think it would just… you know… go back to the way it was. I was […]

Childhood cancer does not discriminate and is willing to go after even our most precious treasures… our children. Race, religion, age, gender…. it simply doesn’t matter to childhood cancer. It ravages young to old and once was a time when children had little hope with diagnosis, but with people like you, hope is coming to one day defeat childhood cancer for good.
Former President George H. W. Bush and First Lady Barbara Bush faced this reality in 1958 when they endured the brutal battle of Leukemia, a type of childhood cancer that affects the blood, […]
Setting goals is a crucial part of successful people. Determining where one is headed is the foundation of establishing the steps to getting there, both figuratively and physically. Setting a goal establishes the meaning behind the actions. But realistically, sometimes that end goal can seem so out of reach that it is hard to take the next step or even identify what that step should be at all. Learning how to overcome the mindset of fear when a goal seems out of reach is the difference between success and […]
Have you ever donated a dollar or two to a person standing on the street corner with their cardboard sign, only to drive away wondering if that dollar will even help? That is often the case in giving. We have a desire to donate but find ourselves stuck between follow-through and wondering if our donation will make a difference. That is precisely the reason to turn to official 501c3 organizations such as Creating for Care.
We are living in strange times, right now. The Pandemic has propelled some into a place of guarded […]

Reframe the Brain
Have you ever sat in your home and realized that it needed some serious updating? Somehow, that favorite piece of art you have always loved suddenly seems quite out-of-date. It is as though, in that moment of realization, you are suddenly transported into your Grandma’s living room where everything is nostalgic, but somehow just not quite in style.
Yet, you stare at the décor, especially that picture, and know you still love it. You are in quite a dilemma. You sense this impossible choice of wanting to bring your living space into the current century by […]
It is more than you.
One of the most pleasurable activities I do is sit out by my pool at sunset. We have a cozy little acre and a half nestled in the middle of the city that has become my personal paradise. I grew up in a small town and then spent the first half of my married life out on 12 acres, with horses, pigs, chickens, rabbits, dogs, and a view of the sky that went for miles in the Panhandle of Texas. We had the most breathtaking sunsets this side of the globe […]

Circumstances often cannot be controlled. If we didn’t […]
