I Am with You – Part 4

1379) As a writer, it can be very easy to get discouraged. Before I signed with a publisher for my first novel, The Bottle House, I had no fewer than 40 “no’s” before I got one “yes.” If I had given into discouragement, this novel would never have been published; I wouldn’t have even completed

I Am with You – Part 3

1378) I have mentioned before I am terribly afraid when visiting the dentist. I literally will shake in the chair, and honestly, it’s embarrassing. I do not think the dentist is going to kill me, but what scares me is the unknown, especially if it includes pain. This unknown pain can happen at any moment

I Am with You – Part 2

1377) We have a new little dog in our family. A lovable little puffball of fur, Cayce (pronounced K-C). I’ve never seen a dog with the energy he has, but I have also noticed Cayce is afraid of a lot of things. I’m not sure why; he has had nothing traumatic happen to him, but

I Am with You – Part 1

1376) Our human senses serve us well in this life–until age or disease deteriorates them. I have pondered before what my life would be like if one or more of these senses did not function. I am grateful this is not the case. In considering the gift of our senses, I also understand they are

The Value of Trust

1375) Today’s minute focuses on trust. What is trust? This word is complicated, but because I prefer to be as simple as possible, I would define trust as reliability. If you are reliable, you will do what you say. You are someone others can depend upon. You are someone with integrity, both publicly and privately.

Being Kind

1374) This school year, our building is emphasizing the importance of being kind. Each day, our principal will finish her announcements with, “Remember to be kind.” Why are we emphasizing kindness? Because we’re living in times when kindness is often overlooked and when someone is kind, many are grateful. Kindness is important. By showing it,

The Value of Calm

1373) If you live in Maine, close to the Canadian border as I do, having a woodstove is a blessing. Though there is a constant supply of little pieces of wood and bark in the house, the warmth that a wood stove brings when it is freezing out is unbelievable. Because we have a woodstove,

Being Heard

1372) During any school day, my name must be called out no fewer than 100 times. It is not unusual to hear it shouted out by two or three kids at once. When this happens, I will often say, “One at a time, please,” and the kids compete against each other as to who I

Belonging

1372) When I was in high school, I shared with someone I was acquainted with that I liked a particular band. His reply was, “You should get their concert shirt.” I remember thinking about this short and unimportant conversation years later (probably when I heard this band on the radio). I wondered why people wear

No More Dentists!

1371) I really dislike going to the dentist. (Sorry to my readers who may be in this profession, but I’m sure you’ve heard this many times.) It just seems that whenever I go, a lot of pain (and money) is involved. Recently, I have had to go because I broke a tooth. Having a root
