When my mother passed away I was 20.

The scripture is God's plan on how we are to live our lives here and what we are to do to have eternal life.

There are days-depression is a part of it-when if all you do is get dressed, take a shower and put on your makeup, then it is a good day. Your goals have to be much lower. But if you take one tiny little step, then you can take another and another.

I want my kids to be curious, to be interested in a lot of things, to be confident, and to feel they belong in any number of situations.

Im about as straight an arrow as youll find out there.

I think our job as parents is to give our kids roots to grow and wings to fly.

I sensed that my life was better when I focused on things that were working as opposed to focusing on the long list that goes wrong, but I wanted to know if there was any validity to that.
