Create The Day By Sharing

There are a lot of things that we can share with others as we go through life that might be of value to someone. My philosophy is that it’s good for the soul to share what you care about, what is valuable to you. One way or another I believe we are all here to…

Create The Day For Mom

Obviously we all know what’s coming – Mother’s day. It’s that wonderful day of the year that  we shower our mothers with cards, flowers, candy or other gifts in an effort to show our appreciation for her years of love, sacrifice, devotion and caring.

I think, “I should decorate, I should buy presents, I should be spreading joy.” But this year, and last year I only felt great sadness. I’ve been missing…
