People are like stained-glass windows.
They sparkle and shine when the sun is out,
but when the darkness sets in,
their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within. ~ Elizabeth Kubler-Ross

Kitchen Magic (1995)
What I remember most about the women in my family during my childhood was their magic. I grew up believing in women’s magic—the wonderful smells that came from the kitchen and the joy and contentment they made you feel when you walked in the door. I always thought that’s what a woman’s magic was all ...

Sometimes we drag ourselves through the day (especially on Monday). We see life as a series of duties, chores, tasks…one very long to-do list. We all have responsibilities, whether we like them or not.

That’s why, when something unexpected happens (usually something bad), time seems to stand still. Suddenly something captures our attention...

“The man with a new idea is a crank until the new idea succeeds.” ~Mark Twain
Have you ever wondered who the folks were who invented post-it notes, white-out tape, and voicemail? Neither have I, but I want to honor them anyway. I can’t remember what life was like before these modern little conveniences.
How do you suppose other people reacted to their ideas when they first came up with them? I can imagine it—“Why would you want a note to stick to ...
