"Greed is the root cause for all sorrows" said Gouthama Buddha. All humans have desires, physical and emotional.

If I decorate my house perfectly with matching pillows, perfect lighting and all the right colors, but do not show love, I'm just another decorator. If I slave away in the kitchen, making perfect meals with healthful ingredients but do not show love, I'm just another cook. If I work at the soup kitchen, visit people in nursing homes and give all that I have to...

Just A Spider

I was sitting at the kitchen table finishing my morning oatmeal. A little taste of Autumn sadness had crept into my soul. The lessening sunlight, cooling air, gray skies, and falling leaves all hinted of the Winter to come. I took my last drink of coffee and carried my empty oatmeal bowl over to the sink to rinse it out. Sitting on top of the kitchen counter my two cats sat transfixed, staring above them. I...

You never know what you do or say that may change a person's life forever. I'll never forget two teenagers, Evy and Susan who came to our home often after Todd died. I don't think they ever realized what an impact they had on my life. Todd had been good friends with both of these girls. In fact, Susan and Evy had been with him the night before he died. Evy and Susan were best...

I Am Unique

I was surprised to read that have you ever seen anyone like you. Same eyes, same voice, same face etc. No one is same like us in the world. God has made us unique then why to be like others. Everybody has different personality and different style but we are busy in seeing others and following them to be like them but we forget that in our surroundings many wants to be like us because they find...

Success stories are told, secrets are shared, motivators have been teaching us life lessons and a lot of us still don't get to our goals. This, is what I see.

June 2, 2014 Dear God, My husband is really gone. I guess you had your reasons for taking him from us, but not sure at all what they would be. How I am supposed to carry on without him?

My husband would take care of all that for us. I...

Grandma, some ninety plus years, sat feebly on the patio bench. She didn't move, just sat with her head down staring at her hands. When I sat down beside her she didn't acknowledge my presence and the longer I sat I wondered if she was OK. Finally, not really wanting to disturb her but wanting to check on her at the same time, I asked her if she was OK. She raised her head and looked at me...

Turn The Page

Sometimes you just have to turn the page to realize there's more to your book of life than the page you're stuck on. Stop being afraid to move on. Close this chapter of hurt, and never re-read it. It's time to get what your life deserves, and move on from the things that don't deserve you. Don't try to fix what's been broken in your past, let your future create something...
