2015 has come and gone. Today is the first day of a new year and the possibilities are endless. Out with the old and in with the new. I decided that instead of “new year’s resolutions”, I’m going to make small goals for myself. 1. Wake up when the first alarm goes off in the morning. 2.

These are the first goals I’m working on for the first quarter of this year. Did you make any New […]

He lost the love of his life, C.T., our German Shepherd, several years ago. And even though we adopted another dog to help […]
Pray for Paris
I have always wanted to visit Paris. It is at the top of my bucket list. And even after the events on Friday, November 13, 2015, I still want to visit Paris. Why? Because Paris is a resilient city filled with beauty and love. People around the world — people who have never visited France or Paris, like myself — have come together to show their support for this wonderful city. People have changed their facebook photos to reflect a photo of Paris, the Eiffel Tower, or the blue, white, and red flag of France. Famous landmarks have been lit […]
