    I don’t recall when it started, but I do remember how. On this post about October being my birthday month, Dwight was surprised at how close I am with my neighbors. Well….it’s amazing what love can do and it all… Continue reading

    During my birthday month, the one thing I promised myself I would do is go see a doctor. Not just any doctor, but one who believes in it’s divine design to function properly and that it will care for itself… Continue reading

    My phone rang at 8:00 am and it was unsettling to see it was my sister calling. She never calls that early and my first thought was, “Who died?”, but she wanted to catch me first thing to wish me… Continue reading
