At the age of 24, something happened in my life I was not expecting and could do nothing about. I was pregnant, married five years but never intending to have children. I knew I was not like my mother — she was t […]

How are you adapting in this rapidly changing environment? In the midst of this time of upheaval, I have  found myself reflecting on lessons I learned from my father.

Our father joined the United States Army […]

Women’s morning routines are as varied as Fergie’s shoe collection. There’s a fairly good chance no two are alike. There is one thing, however, that should become common to every woman’s morning, and that is Cour […]

The day was beautiful.  The temperature was perfect, the sun was shining brightly, and the scenery was breathtaking.  You could feel the excitement and adrenaline from the group as the guide explained our a […]

Courage doesn’t always look like what we think it should. I grew up thinking courage was standing up in the face of great danger, being willing to put your physical life on the line to accomplish something a […]

Perched atop my left shoulder is a cute little angel. She’s there all the time–peering at my life from her little white stadium chair, mostly nodding approval, and periodically getting up to whisper something i […]

Sometimes I doubt myself.  I mean I try to listen to my inner voice yet I begin questioning myself.  Sound confusing?  Try listening to my inner monologue that sounds like a dialogue and make sense of it […]
