My heart and mind have been full of sadness for the world that we’re living in now. How hard it is sometimes to choose one person when the “mudslinging and insulting” is going on! It has been and still is difficult to listen, focus, and choose a topic and title that we all can agree … More There Is Little Love in Politics
I disagree with the old saying, “Beauty is only skin deep.” I saw a post on Facebook showing women before their applications of make up. Beside each photo was a photo of them with makeup on. The photos of these same women, without makeup, amazed me. They looked so different and yet beautiful in a … More Beauty is Not Only Skin Deep
Over the years I’ve had several interesting encounters with people, which made me feel that I had been led to be at a certain place at a certain time. As a whole, I love people. I was raised in a loving family and was taught in church that God loves everyone. So, I generally have … More Try A Little Kindness
Last night I had trouble going to sleep. I realized that at least part of the day I had had unsettled feelings. I felt like the old person who is always saying, “I long for the good ole days when everyone got along (or wasn’t like this!”) I couldn’t watch the news showing one group … More “Come on People Now!”
Growing up in a loving family, I was taught good manners, kindness, honesty, and love for other people, (regardless of race, gender, nationality, skin color, religion, or customs.) I say, “Please,” “Thank you,” “Excuse me,” and other appropriate phrases, because it is good manners. I open doors for people who are elderly or disabled; mothers … More The Kindness Boomerang
I love people. I was raised in a family with lots of love and activities done together. I figured out that my job in life is to try to help make someone else’s day better. That was partly where my wanting to be a nurse came from. The other part was from my mother who … More A Funny Thing Happened at the Grocery Store
This is a great story of what can happen when you listen to that still small voice in your head telling you to help or give something to someone. Several years ago I bought a solar energy powered sunflower for a dollar to place on my car’s dashboard. It reminded me of the one … More What Goes Around
From childhood on, people comment on whether we look older or younger: when we started school, or graduated from high school, got married, had children, etc. It makes a young person feel older, in a more mature way, when they hear such praise from others. As the younger person hears these magic words, they generally … More I’m Getting Older But Better
Several years ago I experienced a two way blessing with a stranger. I was visiting a young patient and his grandmother in a large hospital. My car had to be parked in a building across the street, where I received a ticket with the time that I parked the car on it. As I walked … More Two Way Blessings
The other day I was shopping at a local store. As I pushed my cart around the corner of an aisle, I saw a lady from India squatting on the floor looking for a certain product on the bottom shelf. She sprang up when she saw me, as if to get out of my way … More Karma is….
