Getting to “There”
“We’re toast.” That’s all my husband could say as he looked in dismay at the departure screen notifying us that our flight was delayed . . . again. “What?” I asked, worried. “We’re going to miss our connecting flight.” Rushing toward the United customer service desk, we were stopped in our […]
Resilience - The Glorious Bounce-Back!
I am thrilled! My Goodness Magazine’s topic this issue is (drum roll, please . . .) Resilience! You know, falling down and getting back up again… falling down again and back up again… One of the best things about life and God is that we get to begin again – into eternity. Each one of […]
Past Issue, May 1 Issue - Fulfillment
To the Letter of the Law by Nicole Walters
Nicole is a bargain shopper who finds cute clothes, a lover of hair dye, and enjoying fulfillment . . . this five minutes.
Picture this: Lima, Peru, nearly two years ago. There I stood before an audience of around 1,000 people, nervous. The guitar began to play, my […]
Use Me Lord!

By any chance did anyone catch Oprah yesterday? The show was […]
Oh, Honey!
Lately I’ve heard several stories about the disappearing Honey Bees. Initially I didn’t pay attention. Paying attention is not my strong suit lately with the little one constantly needing all of mine. But one day, while channel surfing, a story about Honey Bees caught my interest. I was amazed and awed by what I heard.
Let […]
My Best Life Ever!
I’m having the time of my life! Everything, every day is really good. This is the life I dreamed of. Wow! When I was young, I dreamed of being married to a really great man, who I imagined would also be a really wonderful person. Guess what? I am. I also hoped one day we’d […]
When Enough is Too Much
Since giving birth 12 weeks ago, I’ve anxiously awaited the moment I can fit back into my trendy Citizen Jeans. At least once a week I attempt putting them on by jumping, pulling or squatting my way into jeans that just are simply too small! To remedy this situation, I created a plan to do […]
Where The Heart Is . . .
This morning, I came into work with my arms full of bags containing pictures, plants, and various other decorating items to outfit my cube into a warmer, more personal and comfortable place. I affixed a very ethnic and cool sarong to my wall, placed pictures of Marc, Ryan and Cole prominently on my shelves, and even put […]
The Eyes To See
Marc’s Uncle Harry is dying: cancer. After visiting with his grandma early yesterday evening and trying to offer some measure of normalcy, family, and comfort to her during this time, Marc and I sat on our porch, each with a glass of wine and him with a cigar, and talked about, among other things, the pain […]
Indisputable Evidence
“I cut my hair!” my husband said as I walked through the door yesterday. “You did!” Embracing his, um, “new look,” Marc has recently cut his hair very, very close. Which means, consequently, he has to cut his hair very, very often. Sometimes he forgets . . . and I’m happy to remind him.
Looking at […]
