I turn 50 on July 15, 2027.  Even typing that feels strange.  Not because I’m afraid of turning 50. Actually, I think I’m more curious about this birthday than any birthday that has come before it.  Although, ask me again on July 14.  Because somewhere along the way, I started thinking about Jubilee.  In Leviticus

Looking up the meaning of words has become a regular habit of mine as I become more intentional in writing my book. Intrigued? Good, but this post isn’t about what

I remember packing up our childhood home and finding the tiniest glasses of mine. It was proof to me that I have worn glasses most of my life. Without them, I am not blind, but the world is a lot fuzzier. Several years ago, after many years of not having insurance, I started a new

The road to work has a beautiful view of the coastline and the traffic is minimal. However, this picturesque view is often overshadowed by the many potholes along the road. So much so, the beautiful winding road quickly feels more like an obstacle course. The potholes are not so bad that they would cause immediate
