Dearest friends,
The reason I have been a little MIA on this blog is because I have been working so hard at launching a new website, prayersforhealth.com. After a year of playing around with this blog, I decided that I really needed two different blogs: one for concentrating my spirituality/health/wellness passions and another (this one) to [...]

A New Year’s Prayer
I wrote this prayer to be published in a local magazine (“Fitness Plus”) in January of 2009. The magazine has since been discontinued and I thought I would share the prayer again… happy new year!
God of new beginnings,
We give you thanks for the gift of life.
Help us to welcome the new year with renewal and hopeful a [...]
Cookies and Milk – a winning te...
Milk and Cookies aren’t just for Santa.
Just thought I’d share a little tip for the day…

This is what I feel like sometimes when I am singing in my car.
I’m not going to pretend that I’m up on the music trends of the day, or that I have a heightened talent for finding great obscure music out there. Truth is I am often the last one to know about a great new band or sound, but I sure do enjoy many different kinds of mus [...]
