empowering women hour by hour
During our lives, we go through many changes. As a child, we grow, go to school and learn many of the important lessons of life, such as gratitude, accepting our differences and how to love one another.
As an adult, we also go through growth, schooling (although not always in a formal setting) and learning to [...]
What do you create in a given day? Do you create order, sympathy, tears, paintings, poetry, piano music, cookies, cakes, kisses for booboos, clean clothing, drawings, sound, singing, strength, faith, love, hope, help or healing?
We have myriad opportunities each moment for creativity. We are creative beings who have innate needs to create daily. As women, [...]
Summer can get kind of gray and rainy where I am. It’s windy and dreary and very, very wet, and even when the weather clears for a little while, some time later, the wind and rain start back in full force. And it’s got me thinkin’…
How many times are our lives like that? The “storms” keep [...]
I have a friend who has been in the hospital for more than a month. We met a few months ago and have become friends quickly. Several days a week, I travel to the hospital to visit. I’m not consistent about the time of day, so I have met many nurses who have cared for [...]
For my friend, Donna, who is up to her proverbial ears in “The Music Man”….
“La-de-da-de-da-de-da-de-da,” sings the infamous Professor Harold Hill to the tune of Minuet in G. “La-de-da, la-de-da.” He teaches his students that if they can “think” the music, they can play it.
Now, I have had some conversati0ns lately with dear people in [...]
So, I have this friend. Her name is “Favorite.” Okay, that’s not her real name, but it’s what I call her. In fact, she calls me “Favorite” too. I can’t even remember the last time I called her by her actual first name (haha!).
And also, I have this long-running joke with several of my friends [...]
Marissa is on a leave of abscence today and so we are posting a previously posted blog. Enjoy!
I’ve pretty much always loved baseball, as well as most sports, and country music. Until recently, no one really knew of my love for these things. Somehow, when I was a kid I got this funny idea that [...]
Women’s health issues are often at the forefront of my mind. I feel fairly self-educated through my own study, through personal experience, and through hearing first-hand experiences of women in my life. As a mother, I have learned more and am fairly well-versed in topics such as prenatal care, breastfeeding, birth control, and baby wearing. [...]
If you haven’t figured it out yet…one of my favorite things to blog about is baseball. Everything from the national anthem to the final strike out fills me with a sense of pride and gratitude to be there witnessing such a fun game. I love the steps of a proper pitch and the graceful slides [...]
So, today February begins…the month that’s hard to spell, the month we celebrate with pink & red, the month we think of warming our hearts with love.
As I am thinking of February, I am pondering the ways I can show love to those who mean so much to me by scattering some sunshine. Yesterday, I [...]
