Jacque and Friends

This is a great opportunity to turn the page on a new year.  Let’s add some simplicity, and new ideas of ways to do things into this year so we have more time to do all the great things we want to do, and have more time to be with the wonderful people we love!   My daughter-in-law, Jessica and I had a great conversation and shared oddles of ideas that you may want to implement into your life.

This is a conversation with Linda Wismer, a dear high school friend of mine, who has been a widow for many years. She shares her story and helps us understand transitions in the stages of widowhood. We discuss how to be a blessing and encouragement to our friends who have lost their spouse.

We are all created uniquely by God with a certain temperament, gifts and talents…for a special purpose. We find joy and meaning in life when we embrace who God made us to be.

This is a conversation about the beauty and importance of being compassionate and caring women. What does compassion look like and act like? My daughter-in-law, Jessica went through a life threatening health crisis a few years ago and she shares with us what she learned through that time. 

Let's think of ways to bring more creativity into our lives because being creative in every aspect of life brings joy, beauty, energy, fun and love into our days. If you think you aren't creative...please listen! You were made in God's image, and He put His creative power in each one of us! Let's use it to bless others, enjoy life and honor our Creator! Thanks Rachael Hoppe and...

Being a Mom is the greatest privilege, and enjoying our children through every age is priceless.  When our kids become adults so many new possibilities unfold as our relationship becomes friendship.  We have so much to learn from each other.  Penny Tucci has so many good things to say to help us bless and stay close to our adult children. 

My husband, Brian, and I have been in the ministry for 50 years!   We started out young and have been so blessed to serve God and people.  We have grown and changed…for the good.  In this conversation we discuss the things we see differently today. 

This is a great conversation with my sweet friend Cheryl Orluck. We are talking about tending gardens- vegetables, flowers, and the garden of our hearts!!
