I used to just read it in various books and magazines, but now it’s happening to me! My children are growing up and slowly having lives of their own that last night as I drove down the road after dropping my son off to his activity, I realized that sooner or later I will have [...]

Three weeks ago, I attended a professional seminar and was very pleased by the approach of the facilitator on his topic. Although the subject matter was intended for the workplace, the audience appreciated his examples that applied to people’s lives in general. He boldly declared: “Life is all about relationships!” While discussing the 3Ps for [...]

I got up early this morning thinking about the many things that I need to get done. They just simply keep coming. But I’ve learned to be grateful for these responsibilities when I realized that working—in whatever form—is a privilege.

I sat speechless the other day as I listened to someone talk about her thoughts on ending her life due to something that other people would consider a great blessing. Just a few days prior to that incident, someone I knew grieved tremendously for the loss of the very blessing that this [...]

It’s funny how things turned out for me this week! I thought I was already feeling stressed about the multiple things that are simultaneously going on in my life, when apparently the One up there has a different perspective and draws up a completely distinct plan for me! Yikes!!! He gave me [...]

I love watching musicals—Broadway or off-Broadway. From those that my kids adore such as Charlie Brown, Peter Pan, and Beauty and the Beast to the more sophisticated ones like Miss Saigon and Phantom of the Opera. But there was one musical that made it to the top of my list despite it [...]

I was inside the North Tower of the World Trade Center when it was hit by a terrorist plane on September 11, 2001. I thought it was a good day for me to die… but my life was spared.
