Leftover Conversation Heart
Like most of you, I hate going to see the doctor. Having said that, I do go when I think something is wrong with me. But the truth is, I’m hardly ever at the doctor’s because God has blessed me with decent health. When I turned 50 last year, I knew that I was going…

A Valentine Story
Dear Reader, I wrote the following little story and posted it on Facebook for the first time back in 2013. Since then, I have reshared it on Facebook but now for the first time, I am sharing it with the rest of the universe through my blog. (Insert evil laugh here.) A Valentine Story… As…

A Nail-Biter
For over 15 years, I have gotten my finger and toenails professionally cut and shaped. (And yeah, there have been times afterwards when my eyes said to me, “You call this work professional?”) Being a perfectionist, it was no easy feat (see what I did there?) to trust someone else to do as good a…

Calendar Girl
Happy New Year! Hope it’s off to a good start for you. If not, don’t fret, there’s still hope… One of the things I look forward to every year is buying a new calendar notebook. I do my best to buy it in December because the dork in me loves the thought of starting January…

The First Noel
(Several years ago, I wrote and shared this little story on Facebook. I love it enough to share it with the rest of the universe through this blog.) This morning I was blowing my nose, dealing with bronchitis when I thought about her… The first Noel I met in my life was when we were…

The Mole that Got Away
Part 2of3 STOP, in the name of love! Before you start reading part two, it would behoove you to read part one. We’ll wait for you… The mole on my face started getting picked on, when my family moved from California to Arizona. They don’t call it the Wild West for nothing! It started in…

The Mole that Got Away
Part 1of2 I was around six years old, and it was on a Sunday, when I addressed the elephant in the room. Except, it was actually on my face. My mom had finished brushing my hair for evening church service, and I looked back at her dresser’s mirror to see the finished result. First, I…

A Jewish Heart
Several years ago, a coworker who knew I was a Christian, told me that I was more Jewish than she was. Coming from a “sabra” (native born Israeli), sealed the deal for me and I’ve never looked back. Since then, I have told some that I am a Christian, but I have a Jewish heart.…

OPERATION: MOM
There wouldn’t be an OPERATION: MOM if there wasn’t an OPERATION: MOOSE. If your mind is drawing a blank at OPERATION: MOOSE, perhaps it’s because you haven’t read the blog before this one titled, The 8-Track. If you haven’t read The 8-Track, please do so before continuing here. I think it will be worth your…
