EVERY MOMent COUNTS!
Addressing negative behaviors in other people’s children is tricky. We’ve all been in a situation where we’ve taught a Sunday School class or supervised a play date and at the end, the parents inevitably ask, “How was he/she?” It’s important not to ‘tattle’ on a child if an issue has occurred and it has been [...]
I was reminded yesterday of one of my kids’ favorite lines: “My mom will feed you!” All I have to do is think about it, and I smile! One particular set of memories comes flooding back, though, with this line. Back when my son was in high school, he had a part-time job near the [...]

But I couldn’t see her in the congested thoroughfare. [...]
A few days ago, I spoke to a group called C3G that exists to help job-seekers in the Atlanta area network and support one another. I do a lot of corporate events, but this one was different; C3G is a faith-based group that meets weekly at Northpoint Community Church, one of the largest churches in the [...]
We, as moms, do so much for others that sometimes we find it difficult to ask for help ourselves when we need it. I think this mom trait is even more prominent in the lives of our single mom friends out there. I have heard from more than one single mom that one of the [...]
“I hate Valentine’s Day,” the middle-aged woman sadly shared with me. “Why?” I responded. “At my office, I have to spend the entire day watching the other women receive flowers and candy, or they talk about their nice dinner plans,” she continued. “My husband doesn’t even buy me a card or show me any affection.

I just returned from a glorious week stateside. I got to travel all alone to my home. I am from small-town Texas. I love it. I got to go to a high school reunion, a church reunion, ride in a parade (which made two loops through town), sing my old school song, and sleep in [...]
