Rebecca Fowler was my 2nd grade teacher. She was a kind lady who seemed very old to my 7-year-old self. She taught me kindness in every action that she took. She is the first adult I remember reading aloud to me, giving me a love of reading that exists to today. She also taught me…
I’d arranged to meet a new friend for a cuppa and chat. As luck would have it, we both pulled our cars into parking spaces outside the cafe at the same time. As we greeted one another, I commented on a rather unusual brooch she was wearing. Merryn told me that she’d admired it on…
When I was in my twenties I lived in GA and we lived on the military base there. Every morning we would see a few homeless people on the streets. We had stopped and given them money and something to drink (coke, water, Dr. pepper, lemonade), whatever we had with us. I looked into their eyes…
My son has always wanted to save all of the people that were unfortunate not to have a home or even a meal. Many times my son has picked up a homeless person and taken him to breakfast and given him some cash.Â

He is bright, pretty verbal, friendly, funny, lovable, and my inspiration! He inspires me, and so many others that have entered his life!…
This year, I was blessed with a very large tax return. A woman that I’m close with (I consider her family) has lost 3 babies to a rare genetic disorder. Two were more recently in 2014 and 2015.
One of my coworkers was having a lot of things go wrong. Mother-in-law has Altzheimers and broke her hip, daughter has health scare. So much was going on and on top of it she had a couple days and she had to host her book club. She was worried and figured maybe she would just…
