When you’ve lived in the same house for many years and it’s becoming too much to reasonably care for, and the expenses just seem to keep growing, it may be time to consider downsizing your home.

One of the biggest re...

Others when under pressure may feel that it is time to slow down and consider things before they act, taking this to the extreme of freezing up and doing nothing. Regard...
“Personalized Christmas Ornaments” is what the sign read inside the trinket store. Excited about buying a personalized gift for her sister, my friend Jill browsed until she found just the right one and proceeded to the counter where the “artist” was waiting. “Can you personalize this ornament for me?” Jill asked with a smile. The lady looked at the ornament and replied, “Well that depends on how much you want written on it. What do you want it to say?” “I want it to say… Welcome to your first Christmas!” Jill re...

Think of the suspense, the survival, internal conflicts, external conflicts, the sounds, and the emotions absorbed into the greatest stories about war. My all time favorite stories to read and listen to are of World War II. I have read true, realistic fiction, and nonfiction stories about American, German, and Russian soldiers in World War II. Also near and dear to my heart are the testimonies of Holocaust survivors, and also of those who didn’t survive the Holocaust. With the spirit of love, gratitude, and joy in the air, I... Full story
