Being About The Journey

Now that I’m older, I find myself reflecting on the choices I’ve made and the paths I’ve taken. The good and the bad…the right and the wrong. There are moments when I wish I had done certain things differently—taken a different risk, spoken up, or maybe waited just a bit longer before making a decision. […]

I sure miss the world the way it was before I understood way too much. Back then, life felt lighter, simpler, and full of wonder.

You are needed, loved, and appreciated even if it doesn’t feel like it sometimes. Life can feel overwhelming, and it’s easy to believe that your presence doesn’t make any difference. But it does.

Opportunities come and go, perhaps quietly, and if we hesitate too long, those opportunities can slip through our fingers. So do it now. […]

For those who were alive 50 years ago during our nation’s Bicentennial celebration, you’ll remember just how big of a moment in history it was.

Today is Good Friday. As you enter the Easter weekend, you are invited to pause and reflect on the profound meaning of this sacred season. Easter is more than a holiday or a collection of cherished traditions—it is a powerful reminder of hope, redemption, and the promise of new life. The biblical account of Christ’s […]

Old age is the season for reflection, a gentle period when life encourages you to sit with your memories—both joyful and painful—and find peace in them.
