This month I turn 65. Wow. I remember when my parents were 65 and now it's my turn. Did I ever think about these years when I was 25 or even 45? I don't know about you but, I didn't. Maybe I didn't really believe I was going to live to see 65 or maybe [...]

Beginning to embrace change.
I am sitting in my friend's living room in Singapore enjoying a cup of tea and thinking about the amazing places I have gone to this year. My neighbor in Florida calls me her "vagabond" neighbor because I am always coming from somewhere or going somewhere. Even though traveling has always been a part of [...]
Getting Back on Track
Purpose is a powerful thing in our lives. I guess you just don't realize you need it until you begin to find it again. I believe there are seasons when we are in the process of shifting purpose and those seasons are when we feel like we are floating from one thing to another and [...]
No Rear View Mirror Gazing for Me

Facing Another Season
It says a lot about a person who can say goodbye to the past without any regret and look into the future not knowing what it holds. Every season of life brings with it doubt and fear and possibility and promise. We have to choose how we will face each one. Recently my Dad went [...]
