I decided to order a piece of Cobaltoan Calcite and a chunk of Rose Quartz to commemorate this era of my life, to celebrate my first two books—“The Gift of a Dozen Reasons” and “The Gift of a Dozen More”. To me, the bright pink color symbolizes joy. This is why I chose bright pink…

The Gift of Gratitude: Giving Birth to Joy and Peace
The common theme in my two books, “The Gift of a Dozen Reasons” and its sequel, “The Gift of a Dozen More”, is gratitude. In gratitude, we glorify God for all He’s done for us, and He in turn fills our hearts with true joy. In gratitude, we find peace in various trials. When we…

The Gift of Coming Home

The Gift of a Hummingbird
I saw my first hummingbird of the year the other morning. I was starting think they weren’t going to show up this season, but I kept putting the nectar out, even though I felt a little silly. If you know me, you know I love birds, especially hummingbirds. I love them so much, I’ll continue…

The Gift of a God Thing
I saw something recently that shockingly would change the entire trajectory of my life and my heart. There before my eyes was a photo of an autism awareness tee shirt. I loved that tee, and I had to have it! This tee shirt was a very good thing for me—good message, good color, good design.…

The Gift of Baby Steps
Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin. (Zechariah 4:10) One of my babies at work is learning to walk. It’s brought me so much joy to see him make his way around the playpen, holding on to the gate as he moves step by step. Of all…
