FMM 6 14 19 Sing out Loud!
“As long as poverty, injustice and gross inequality persist in our world, none of us can truly rest.” ~ Nelson Mandela.

FMM 5 31 19 Set a Better Example (upcycled)
“Lively up yourself” Bob Marley Is there anything as unattractive as a slouch?

It has always made me crazy to see people who approach their job in this fashion – it […]

“Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart” ~ Khalil Gibran. The other day I met up with someone I hadn’t seen for a while. And to be truthful, I did not immediately recognize her. She was an acquaintance rather than an old friend, and it was only through the […]

“It was pride that changed angels into devils; it is humility that makes men as angels.” ~ Saint Augustine. Seventy-seven years ago today, a man in his early thirties made a promise that has been repeated over and over again since that Sunday in Salem Congregational Church: “Tomorrow, by God’s grace, I will light a […]
FMM 1 25 19 Scrambled eggs and handkerchiefs
“You’re imperfect, and you’re wired for struggle, but you are worthy of love and belonging.” ~ Brene Brown. I have always admired poetry. If I were a poet I would choose my words with care, then slice and dice and splice lines together so clean and pretty it would take your breath away. Those words […]
