With Love & Purpose....From the Beginning

Hope

On my way home from visiting a friend today, I felt compelled to stop by the Church rectory of my parish. I had not been to Church in the past two months however, I had this urge making me turn right into the parking lot. I realized that they were setting up for the annual […]

I am my friend

As I drove in my car today, I listened to a song that seemed to make the cars and trees move in harmony; it was as if the world around me was dancing. I came across the Simon and Garfunkel song…. The Boxer. Instead of driving in solemnity thinking about what list I had to […]

A little schooling

Adoption is a metamorphosis

I drove on the same road that I have been driving on for five years now for my job yesterday. Its a really long two lane highway, with a median and two more lanes in the other direction a good distance apart. I love this drive somedays because there are so many trees on either […]

Adoption Equals Love, Love, Love

When we vacationed last week, our home was on the bay. Everyday while I went fishing, or relaxed on the deck, I would see a Mamma duck and her ducklings, she had three. If you ever get the chance to watch a Mother Duck with her ducklings you will see how protective she is of […]
