I never saw the movie, “Waiting to Exhale,” but I know the feeling. Some events have such a build-up that when they finally happen, “whew! It’s over.” And then, it’s time to inhale and jump over the next hurdle. Today, I am thankful for those moments of rest between those hurdles letting us refill ourContinue reading “WHEW! 01.08.2021”

GRATEFUL: 4th Day of Christmas
A new trend in Psychology is to study Well-Being. One of the top finds is that keeping a gratitude journal helps in being happy. Write 3 things you are thankful for each day. And join me in a prayer of gratitude.
TENDER BREATH OF ENDLESS LOVE; ADVENT WORD: BLESSING
