Valentines Day
I remember making my mom Valentine’s Day cards out of red construction paper ..Oh you did that too? Then I would go to Russell Stover and get her a box of her favorite chocolates. Then I would kiss her 100 times and she would laugh and laugh. All of us have had a broken heart. […]
Lenny
He was born one day before Halloween…20 months before I came bouncing out. I called him BaBa but his real name is Lenny. He was so cute my parents entered him in a beautiful baby contest. He won and received an elaborate baby book and a camera! Lenny was not affectionate. But that did not […]
Are You in Contact…
Are you in contact with anyone you went to school with? I am. Her name is Joanne. I walked her to school every morning. I asked her to be my girlfriend and she said no. LOL. Today, I want to talk about a different girl that I went to school with. Her name is Linda. […]

Please Be Kind
This message will be hard to write so bear with me. When I was about 8, I was walking to school and I met a man. He had no legs. His fragile body was on top of a wooden board with four silver wheels. He was selling pencils out of a cup. I sat down […]
Forgive Yourself
In a previous message, I asked you to forgive those in your life who have hurt you…not an easy task. Today, I have a little more homework for you. I want you to forgive yourself for the mistakes you have made in the past. I made so many mistakes in my life. I beat myself […]
Rainbows
I woke up this morning and it was gray and gloomy…. The trees were whistling in the wind and the rain drops dancing everywhere. And I waited, and waited, and then there it was…high in the sky… a magnificent rainbow! Promise me you will always find the rainbows in your life. You are magnificent too! […]
