The coldest day of the year is the day I get my mammograms. This early January morning was no exception. As I was leaving for my yearly appointment I heard a sleepy voice ask, “Hey Mom, want some company?” from Cassidy, my teenage daughter. “Sure, I’ll treat you to a latte when we’re done!” Pleased I had a companion, out the door we went.

Thirsty Thursdays
There has been a situation in a close friend’s life that left me feeling so helpless. Since I’m a doer, I especially hate this. I’ve already run through all the ways I could help. But it hasn’t made a real difference. Yesterday morning while I was sitting on my back porch with my hot cup of coffee and spiced pumpkin bread (yummy), the Lord got me.

Running is not an activity I enjoy but one I must regularly participate in as my metabolism begins to slow. Tying my shoes, hooking Lucy to her leash, and slowly making my way through the neighborhood are acts of pure discipline and ones I can’t wait to be over. There can be surprising obstacles to

As women, we all practice a certain habit. Don’t worry – you’re not alone – we all do it: A new girl walks into our circle of friends, and what do we do? We size her up. Literally. We literally try to figure out her size. She looks like a size four, you cringe. And those legs – she must
