Love Generously!

People who love generously have happier lives. They’re less concerned with getting hurt or being burned. They simply open their heart and pay attention to other people.  And they find a lot more joy.

I found a great video, a short one, that made me feel instantly better. So I’m sharing it with you.  It’s a reminder to pay attention to the seemingly little things. I have all ideas that, when all is said and done, those aren’t the little things, at all. They’re among …

Why Do We Love Music?

Why do we love music? It has magical, boundless ability to filter out conflict and to heal. It has a way of building bridges and tearing down walls. It makes life better. It is tightly connected to feelings – and offers a way to grow love. Yep. I believe so.

I Love These Quotes Because...


God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself. Because it is not there. There is no such thing. – C.S. Lewis

I’m a quote-aholic. So I’m starting a new ‘thread’ in my blogs: sharing favorite quotes and why I love these words. I’ll share often, because there are so many I love.
