The Game of Monopoly

It seems that no matter what age you are, when it comes to relationships, there is an expectation when it comes to communicating with a new person. You meet and things seem to be okay. A few days go by and you decide to contact them. You haven’t heard from them and doesn’t one of…

Feeling Limited

Relationships..so many of us say that we want to be in them, but yet, so few become involved in them. Maybe it’s because we have this open-door policy to be as a free as we can today. Or maybe it’s because we have become so focused on ourselves that we’re become limited into the amount…

Giving a Gift

As we’re getting older, I find that people are changing. Not so much in their age, but rather in the area of giving. Perhaps it’s because we are all raised differently. We come with a set of different ideas and experiences. One example is being able to give and to receive gifts no matter what…

For a Lifetime

You do everything you can to move on from past relationships. To some extent, we have all done it. We keep ourselves busy by spending time with friends, working, even meeting new people.

Going Back

This past week, I was sitting at a red light, waiting to turn out of a busy shopping center on a Sunday afternoon. Patiently I waited until it was all clear to go, but it took some time, and in that time, I began to watch people drive in and out of the parking lot…

The Wish Jar

Sometimes I have to wonder why relationships have to be so hard. Is it that as we grow older the more wiser we become over time, or is it that relationships have become so much more difficult because we have become busier? I often find that for some of us, we pack our lives with…

The Right Recipe

Last night, after much of my energy just wouldn’t stop, I sat down and turned on the T.V. Flipping through the channels I came across the movie Julia & Julia, the story of a young writer who writes a blog while making every dish of Julia Child’s recipes. It’s been a lot time, but I…
