Having children with special needs is such a challenge! But one thing I've learned....it keeps us TOTALLY dependent on God. No way can I be "in control" because in the blink of an eye, our life could be in shambles.There are days my prayer has been, "Oh God, oh God, oh God" because I just… Continue reading Overcomer

Praying For The Babies
On March 20, 2020, as I was spending time with God, praying against the COVID-19 virus that was overtaking the world and now our country, I felt led to start praying for the unborn babies and the mamas who carried them. I put on my Facebook page that I was doing this, and if they… Continue reading Praying For The Babies
Telling Toys About Jesus
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqSeD5xSfME I hope you enjoy this most precious video of my speech-and-language-impaired son. I printed out what he is saying (with a little interpretation). I don’t want you to miss a bit of it. Here is the whole story. M loves Pokemon. He likes to look them up and find videos and information… Continue reading Telling Toys About Jesus
Too Exhausted For Goals!
January. Ugh. People are like, “Oh I love the beginning of a new year! I’m setting my intentions. I’m writing my goals. I’m picking a new theme or word of the year”. And I’m like, “Nope, just let me crawl back into bed.” In Michigan where I live it’s one of the grayest, dreariest… Continue reading Too Exhausted For Goals!

I’m a Warrior, Not A Worrier!
Today my friend's situation reminded me of the need for this card. There are a bunch of things pressing in on me and my brain is in a tizzy (southern expression for going crazy). *I'm trying to get a seat belt installed before heading south. I had to cut it because my son became… Continue reading I’m a Warrior, Not A Worrier!
Eighteen Days of Whew!
Whew, what a crazy, busy last few weeks! From November 9 to 26 I was rarely home! In that two and a half weeks I: had four days of vendor shows, including three setup-and-takedowns taught reading to kindergarteners for four days, drove to Kentucky and back (7 hours one way) to celebrate Thanksgiving with my… Continue reading Eighteen Days of Whew!
I Won!
Today I defied the compulsion towards People Pleasing!! (A lifetime-long struggle.) Yesterday was grueling for me. I taught reading to reluctant kindergarteners for three hours, went to an appointment, returned home in time to get my son off the bus --his OCD meant he asked every few minutes if we were… Continue reading I Won!
Sparkle & Shine Calendar is Here!
Hello lovelies! Goodness this last six months has been incredibly busy. I seriously don't know how I had time to teach full time before I retired. Of course, I've added three jobs since then, all of them MY businesses. And I am entirely responsible for all three. That along with raising two special… Continue reading Sparkle & Shine Calendar is Here!
To Love Even More~Is It Possible?
Ohhhhh, yes. Sometimes our children are not as we expected--not as we dreamed and hoped. But in the midst of the grief (because yes, there is a grief process as we let go of those hopes and dreams for our children) we form new ideas, experience unplanned-for joys, celebrate the tiniest accomplishments-turned-into-milestones, sacrifice even… Continue reading To Love Even More~Is It Possible?
