One Little Word That Will Teach...Gather Are you a goal-setter? A List Maker? A reflect-back-over-the-year person? None of that comes naturally to me. Well, except for the reflecting part. I do like to try to learn from my experiences and the only way to do that is to take the time to evaluate what worked and what didn't.

Top Five Role Models-Living a Life of Love and Inspiration
Hello, Friends! The ball has dropped on 2016, can you believe it? To me, Y2K seems like it just happened , but I guess it has been 17 years.

How to Be Married Part 3
Welcome to Part 3 of our series "How to Be Married". Having a good marriage takes hard work and I know 40 years ago, Brad and I had no idea what was involved.
