Supporting from within.

It’s Friendship Friday! This is the day to focus on giving back or paying it forward. I know many of you are feeling the pinch. I know many of you are stressed, mentally exhausted, and ready for the rules to not continue to change from day to day. Me too! But, for now, we areContinue reading “Supporting from within.”

Making your ripple.

It’s Friendship Friday! This is the day to focus on giving back or paying it forward. As I have started in person classes again this week I am reminded how short life is. I am reminded how an actual hug can heal many ailments. I am reminded to be grateful and to be present. TheContinue reading “Making your ripple.”

Picking you up.

It’s Friendship Friday! This is the day to focus on giving back or paying it forward. I don’t know about you but this pandemic I am equating to a grief cycle. One day you are okay and the next you might be a mess. It almost feels like right before Joel (hubby) deployed to Iraq.Continue reading “Picking you up.”

Sharing your paper.

It’s Friendship Friday! This is the day to focus on giving back or paying it forward. Remember when your mother told you to share. So today I am reminding you to share.

Giving back by being present.

It’s Friendship Friday! This is the day to focus on giving back or paying it forward. Since Father’s Day is Sunday I figured I would do a little tribute to my daughter’s father (and yes, my hubby). As my daughter turned 18 about ten days ago life seems to be flashing before my eyes. IContinue reading “Giving back by being present.”

10 Reasons to Give Back.

It’s Friendship Friday! Today is the day to focus on giving back or paying it forward. I thought I’d share 10 reasons of why people give back. I know when I volunteer many of these beliefs are what get me up in the morning. Make an impact. To help your community. This is not necessarilyContinue reading “10 Reasons to Give Back.”

Love in so many languages.

It’s Friendship Friday! This is the day to focus on giving back or paying it forward. Just the other day my daughter sneaks behind me and gives me this huge, smothering backwards bear hug. And then she doesn’t let go. Another girlfriend of mine sends cards all the time to encourage. While another takes gorgeousContinue reading “Love in so many languages.”

Keep checking in.

It’s Friendship Friday! This is the day to give back or pay it forward. Keep checking in on your friends, loved ones, and neighbors. We are not done with this lock down yet. I don’t know about you but right now seems to be a bit tougher since the rules are changing. No one reallyContinue reading “Keep checking in.”

Cards, smiles, graduation, and a sunburn.

It’s Friendship Friday! This is the day to give back or pay it forward. So yesterday was a day for the books. I started out and delivered 35 catalogs throughout Yucca Valley, Joshua Tree, and 29 Palms. This is in place of the Open House since it has to be done virtually. Next Wednesday’s FacebookContinue reading “Cards, smiles, graduation, and a sunburn.”

And some days you are surprised.

It’s Friendship Friday! This is the day to focus on giving back or paying it forward. I have to say some days I am just genuinely surprised at human nature. Some days people can be so rude, obnoxious, and just absolutely people-y. And other days people can be so kind, genuine, and loving that youContinue reading “And some days you are surprised.”
