I say too many "ums," I talk too fast, my stories tend to ramble, but it's always fun sitting down with fellow bloggers Vicki Atkinson and Wynne Leon from Sharing From the Heart of the Matter. I sat down with the two of them recently for their podcast to talk about my crazy planning skills... Continue Reading →
There’s no crying in baseball
When I played Little League Baseball, I was small for my age, but I was quick and fearless out in the field. I mainly played second base and would often get to balls that I shouldn’t have been able to catch. One game in the middle of our season, we were winning and needed just... Continue Reading →
Looking for my front row seat

Play it again, Sam! and great movie lines
I love great movie lines. Yes, I love them for all the reasons that everyone else loves them. They make me laugh, smile, or cry — sometimes all at the same time. I love everything about them. Oh, sometimes we remember the lines wrong. In the classic scene from Casablanca, Ingrid Bergman leans on the... Continue Reading →
