A whole new language arises during the month of March in the house of a college basketball coach.
We use words like “seed” and “bracket” in daily conversation, but even more curious, in my house at least, is the way my husband begins to use the word, “March.”
In the midst of a tight game on TV, Saul will yell out things ... Read More
My husband has banned me from Amazon. Not for shopping. For reading book reviews. Specifically, my book reviews.
I wrote a book and because it was about kindness, I assumed everyone would love it. So when someone left me a two-star review, I cried. Seriously, stupid I know, but I boo-hooed for almost two days. One day for each star.

Is there anyone else out there who was thinking they’d like to make a donation but never quite ... Read More
They say when it rains, it pours. That can be true in trials, but in my life, I’ve found that it’s also true in kindness.

When I was a child, my biggest social challenge was learning to speak politely on the phone. I never had to deal with the permanency that seems to accompany every email, text message or Instagram photo sent through the World Wide Web.
It would be easier to completely unplug, but since my husband is not in favor of going off the ... Read More
