I decided to take a break from wrapping C...

April 2012 will mark the end of the second year since I was separated from my dream job. Finances are beginning to be a challenge, as savings are now depleted and unemployment has expired. I’ve applied for hundreds of positions, but have had no success in obtaining another job. I have had days of depression, days of anxiousness, days of anticipation, and days of fear since then…a rollercoaster of emotions. I’ve prayed that God would show me what ...

My morning devotions were so awesome and thought provoking that I just HAD to share...

{He guarded him} like an eagle that stirs up its nest and hovers over its young; that spreads its wings to catch them and carries them aloft.  Deuteronomy 32:11

I was reading Ezra 6:1-15 during my morning devotions today. It was about the rebuilding of the Temple. I've read these verses before, but it just seemed like a description of a construction project, complete with all the hinderances and obstacles that are part of a large project. But today these verses stood out to me and I kept thinking about them throughout the morning.

What do you love to do?

I was watching television after Jim left for work last month. Flipping through the channels, I came across a "reality" type show. The facilitator of a team-building activity aske...

A Post worth revisting...Posted on December 28, 2007 at 11:25 PM

I was putting away opened Christmas gifts and straightening up the living room today when I knelt on some pine needles stuck in the braided rug...OUCH! I love having a fresh Christmas tree each year, but I do not enjoy the annoyance of the dried needles. Those little buggers seem to find their way under the couches and baseboards, embedding into the rug and furniture. I have found pine needles ...

Things certainly did not go according my what I had envisioned for the latter half of 2010.

• Lost my job
• Lost my benefits
• Was diagnosed with Sjogren's Syndrome and Diabetes
• Almost lost my hubby to a serious illness
• Had a falling out with one of my children that caused an estrangement
• Found a la...

Today I had the opportunity to interview for another position at Merck.  During the of the interviews I was asked the question..."What do you think is your greatest personal accomplishment?"  Without hesitation I responded "My three daughters." As I listened to myself describe my girls, I smiled and said to myself "Wow, I really have three TERRIFIC kids!"

My girls have nev...

Life has a way of throwing you a curve when you least expect it...:(

My curve was notification of separation from my career at Merck.  I has survived the first two rounds of cutbacks, but was not spared from the third.  Now what?

So many people have offered kind words of encouragement and solace during this difficult time, but one common denominator has ca...
