Christians refer to this time as the Feast of Weeks or Pentacost. Jews call it Shavuot (pronounced Sha- voo- ot). In any case, this was the time of year to welcome the summer harvest. We eat cheese blintz. That’s kinda like a cheese crepe. They are very yummy! Jews make quite a big deal about…
Ruth lived a long time ago in Moab which is in the present day Middle East. She was a pagan priestess. But she fell in love with a Jewish artisan named Malon. She married him, but he died shortly after. Her mother-in-law, Naomi wanted to go home to Judeah (Israel). Ruth refused to let her…
I’m auditioning for a play tonight. It’s called Steel Magnolias. I’ve been in the play three times before. This time, I’m going to play Ms. Ouiser. She’s played by Shirley MacClaine in the movie. In this clip, Ousier is wearing a black coat and is very grouchy. How fun! I get to let out my…
Today was a rough day. Someone I loved very much died. Today was his birthday. I miss him so much. He was a good man. They are out there – good men I mean. You just gotta know where to find them. He was one of those people who stands by you – through heaven…

I know it can be hard, little sisters. You gotta CHOOSE your thoughts. I always tell my students “just because you have a thought, that doesn’t make that thought true. Have you ever heard yourself say… “Boy, am I dumb!” We all say it to ourselves sometimes. That does NOT make it true. Somedays, you…
I love this song. I haven’t found my white knight. You gotta know, he doesn’t always come for you. Sometimes… Your strength is going to come in handy someday. Dragon fighting IS a reality. Dragons can be a boss that doesn’t understand you and piles the work on. It could be a life choice that…
I know, I know. I hate it when some busy body comes along and demands that I smile. But, it is actually really good for you. I was in a training today with a brain research specialist and he said that real smiles and forced smiles BOTH make the brain release a chemical called dopamine….
Wow! Do you realize how long I’ve been writing you? And I’m still going strong. How can she keep this up? It’s simple. This is what love looks like, sweet sisters. I do not want you to forget that I love you. So I continue to remember you every day. It’s become a ritual. As…
