Live your life from your heart

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what
we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into
acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can
turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger
into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings
peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow."
~ Melody Beattie

Vicariously living through pregnant friends

Feeling "LeRoy" kick and move induces tears and an awe of how amazing life truly is

When students are genuine and thankful (even at this time of year)

Reading a good book that sucks you in

Everyday is a gift - live it

Having a dad that's "in the neighborhood"

Sister Tuttle's advice, "I gotta be me".  Oh so true

Anthony's smile and giggle

Taking time to see the trees come back to their full, green splendor slowly each day

Zucchini bread

Late nights and long talks with a favorite aunt

Strong, meaningful embraces

The first 80 degree day

Finding reasons to smile even through the tears

Live your life from your heart.  

Share from your heart.  

And your story will  touch and heal people's souls.
