Since I had cancer I have had a life motto. It is… Live Fully! It means to take each day and live it as if it is your last. Not to put things off until someday…after you retire…when you have more money…or when you have more time...when the kids are grown…when you finish school…when you … Continue reading What’s Your Excuse?
The Lull
I sit and I reflect. It is my tradition, to take a stolen moment and think on Christmas as it relates to life. It seems to me this year that the babe in the manger is being pushed aside, buried and minimized. It is as if popular opinion thinks that if we aren’t talking about … Continue reading The Lull
Freeze Frame
“Nashville is colder than a milkshake.” It’s what my grandmother used to say, and this past weekend it was true. The temperature dipped low, the wind whipped, making it feel even colder. But even the frigid temps could not diminish the warmth in my heart. Aaron graduated from Belmont University with a business degree in … Continue reading Freeze Frame

The Miracle of Life
“When I die, and I assure you I am going to die…I want you to sue this hospital for everything they’ve got. Promise me.” I spoke these words to my husband with all the seriousness of a woman in hard labor. I was convinced that I was dying and though he knew I was not, … Continue reading The Miracle of Life
