Book Review – P.O.W.E.R. by Lisa A. Kramer
What if you loved words? What if you loved words and were told you could not use them? No reading. No writing. No words. If you were told you had to give up words completely, would you stop? Could you? Andra BetScrivener has a secret power. But her life – and the lives of those she…

TToT – Hypo Gratitude
Hypo-gratitude. I had to check with Ivy to make sure I was getting the right term, but I think hypo-gratitude is what I have going on this week. It’s that week when you feel the forces of the universe stack against you. The dark clouds loom large and threaten at every moment to open a…

1000Speak – I Am Raising a Compassionate Child
I’m not sure how it happened. Somehow, though, I find myself the parent of a child with a compassionate heart. This little girl cares about the environment. She cares about people and animals. She wonders why and how people can be cruel to one another, whether it’s on a school playground or the world stage.…

This Summer…
This summer is going to be different… This summer I will spend some time on a bit of the usual. I will clean out closets, scrub under the stove burners and above the kitchen cabinets, and think about having a garage sale. But this summer will also be different… I will do those usual things,…

Sweet Tea
A few weeks ago, I attended the most wonderful event. My Daughter’s class invited their moms to a Mother’s Day Tea. The handmade invitations indicated a special event was at hand. I’ll admit I was skeptical. A tea for mothers? In the first-grade classroom? With all those tiny little chairs that no self-respecting adult should…

TToT – Words
Words hold great power. Words can heal or harm, praise or cut down, build or destroy. Words can bring great change. They can bring us to tears or laughter and help us express our thoughts, feelings, hopes, fears, and desires. I am thankful for the abundance of words flowing plentiful in our lives this week…

FTSF – We Need More
I’m struggling this week. I’m angry. I’m frustrated. I’ve had just about enough. Why? People are mean. People are inconsiderate. People are rude. It’s true. You know it’s true. And at risk of this appearing to be a rant (it’s not), I just really needed to say that tonight. All week I’ve tried to write this…
