Peace Dancing

This past week, one of my Facebook friends posted a video of Dick Van Dyke who is about to turn 99. The background music for this video is “All My Love” which is an amazing song performed by Chris Martin of Coldplay. The video features Van Dyke as he answers questions about his life and […]

I Am Conflicted

It’s happened to me more times than I care to admit. I’ve added a Christmas gift to my cart on Amazon that I know is too expensive and doesn’t fit our budget. My cursor is hanging over the “Place Your Order” button on my screen and beads of sweat are breaking out on my forehead. […]

First Love
