Who’s Your GPS?
I have my own personal GPS that usually accompanies me whenever I travel. No, it’s not a Garmin or a Tom Tom, it’s a Ron. I feel pretty sure that God placed a global positioning microchip in my husband’s brain at conception. He navigates crowded streets, buildings and airports with the greatest of ease. But […]
A Word Please
I’ve grown to dislike New Year’s resolutions. I used to make some fine ones in my younger days only to have them turn to dust by the end of February. Since I’m allergic to failure, I decided to ensure my success by simply not making any resolutions. Problem solved. Or was it? Now that a […]
Get to the Point
Maybe I just grew up to be a teacher because of the crayons. My childlike heart always jumped just a little on those first days of school when I saw all those sharp points of color standing at attention in those bright yellow boxes. Today, that obsession has grown into sharp points on bright yellow […]
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas from the whole Jackson/Ellis clan! May God bless you this year with more than enough joy, grace and peace to share with everyone you meet.
A Hallmark Life
I’m a Hallmark Christmas movie junkie. There. I said it. It’s a crazy thing since those movies are all so predictable. The soft-hearted guy breaks up with the diva, meets the love of his life, goes through some ridiculous predicament, trusts Santa to lend a hand and finally ends up with Miss Perfect. It’s the Christmas theme […]
Smiling Eyes
“You’re picking up toys on the living room floor for the 15th time today. Matching up socks. Sweeping up lost cheerios that got away. You put a baby on your hip, color on your lips and head out the door. While I may not know you, I bet I know you wonder sometimes, […]
Exhale!
What’s your mood today? Happy? Content? Frustrated? Sad? If life is going your way you probably feel pretty good. The sun is shining in your world and your face wears a big ‘ol grin. You take deep breaths, point your smiling face to the sky and fling your arms out wide. Some of you, however, […]
Thanksgiving Color
The colors of the leaves, the temperature and the crispness of the air make fall my favorite time of year. Maybe that’s what helps make Thanksgiving my favorite holiday. With Thanksgiving you get all the food, family and fun of Christmas without all the stress of selecting, purchasing and wrapping gifts. Thanksgiving gives us a […]

Our Very Best Friend
One of my dear friends celebrates her birthday today. Being one year and one week younger gives her plenty of room to poke fun. Our birthday “season” got me thinking about how blessed I am to have friends who love me and add color to my life. Good friends encourage us to be better and […]
