A gift opens the way and ushers the giver into the presence of the great. Proverbs 18:16 It’s my favorite time of the year! Christmastime is truly the most wonderful. Gathering of families, great food and drink, and celebrating the birth of Jesus. What I especially love about this time is the general goodwill and…
Gratefulness can be hard to practice. Gratitude isn’t something that happens when good things come, it is something that needs to be cultivated. I get so distracted by the many things going on in the world, the mundane day to day tasks that sometimes I completely lose sight of the wonderful things all around me….
It can be hard to stay motivated in during a season when everything seems to go dormant. Let’s face it – fall and winter can be depressing. Some people love this time of year, personally, I am my best in the summer months when I can take my dogs for walks on the beach and…

We had a huge persimmon tree on our ranch and when they were ripe my grand- mother would simply dig a spoon into one and enjoy it as if it were a cup of pud- ding. She also used them to make smoothies. However I liked them best in her famous persimmon cookies. I’ve altered…
