My Life, My Home changed "In an Instant" when my husband of 19 years and father of two sons, was murdered, by a person who was one year older than my oldest son at the time of the incident, a Craigslist Predator who perfected his craft in the juvenile system.  The full story including the murder being sentenced is found under "Living in My Truth"

I appreciate the prayers, the support, the love and words expressed. My ask, my focus is for the continued work of "Planting Seeds", seeds of Gratitude by words, and by actions.

In this season of my life, the greatest joy, is in the many whom have connected and have joined "the work" of planting seeds of Gratitude along with Helping Build Bridges Across. Gratitude is so much than a word, it is an action. 


The question often asked, How can I work a Garden of Gratitude with Helping Build Bridges Across?  Simple, get in where you fit in, never obligated just do what's enjoyable for you.  To review the affiliates and or referrals that send a percentage to HBBA, please visit "Planting Seeds of Gratitude"  and or  "Mailing Out Gratitude".  


"Moments before Memories" allows us to celebrate, as a community, special moments that are meaningful to you, to send you the "unexpected" joy from our village, our community.  Be sure to connect! 


The work is allowing, our hearts to consider how precious this Gift called Life is and to respect that with a humble heart, that we make choices daily, we decide to express loving those around us by our words, and by our actions. Exercising Gratitude "daily", and including "Taking a Pause" when we are not in a good space, recognizing even "Peaceful Silence" can be a blessing in the lives who surround us. 


My prayer is that, flowers can grow out of ashes, for all the lives who have been and who currently challenged by difficult roads, and unexpected seasons.  God's Grace was and is beyond sufficient, looking back He was with me every step of the way, walking and guiding me through a season that knocked me off of my feet, a wilderness of not sure where the road traveled would lead, "In an Instant" life changed.  My focus, after walking through such a tragic season, with a heart tattooed for life, the question, the focus, what can I do with it?!, I refuse to live as a victim and this is the continued work.  Allowing our hearts to know the "value" of time, to be awaken to not taking "moments" for granted. The work keeping us mindful and focused on "Who Promised that Tomorrow will look the same as Today?!"


The work is, includes coming in contact with those we don't know, being respectful, even in places we don't agree, even in those spaces allowing the space to "Agree to Disagree" without offense.  The work is meeting "Hearts" not Faces, not allowing the conditions of any moment, to allow the assumption or judging others based on the chapter, we walked in on for any person.  We just don't know the Story of the Hearts we meet along our travels.
