Happy Birthday!!!
Last Sunday, I became an uncle: again! Admittedly, this was a special birth for me. Over the pregnancy, I’ve had the gracious honor of witnessing the growth of my younger brother, Marcus, from husband to second-time father. He has become even more focused on what’s most important, which is his family. He reminds me so…

The Last Fermata
It is with a pensive, nostalgic heart that I write this post. Last week, I received news that my former Director of Bands, Ronald J. Sarjeant had passed away, as I awaited the showing of The Dark Knight. I was a little surprised, nevertheless I instantly activated my call list, which consisted of my…

I’m a Bad Mother….
..Shut your mout’! I was talking with a friend the other day, and it conjured up an old story I wanted to share with my readers. Some names have been changed to protect the identity of the innocent.

The most unlikely gift
At first, yesterday shaped up to be somewhat grueling. I agreed to help a dear friend move. [This is also the same friend whose wedding I attended a few weeks ago. Read the post “Heart Smiles” for details.] If you know me, you will know that I detest moving with a passion! I would rather…

Kyrie Eleison
Kyrie Eleison is latin, meaning: “Lord, have mercy.” So, I got up this morning with a few things that I wanted to get done today. I was preparing for an 11 o’clock appointment and was moving steadily around the house. About 10:30 or so, I grabbed my phone to check my messages. As I clicked…
