I’m pretty much known in my family (maiden home included) for being the one all about cracking up. What do I mean? I seek for and thoroughly enjoy funny things, events, comments, memes, video clips, you name it. If it’s funny, I’ve got to see it. And when I laugh, it’s from the depth of…Read more Hardy-har-har.

Gracefully aging
It would appear that everybody is running away from those first hints of wrinkles, that first turn of gray in the hair. At first glance, I’d be quick to say: I don’t blame them. But then again, you know by now that I’m quite the muser. There’s a lot to ponder about that behavior. …Read more Gracefully aging
The intolerance of tolerance
Nowadays, the big thing in the US (as it was in Europe when I lived there years ago) is tolerance. It is the current zeitgeist. On the surface, there seems nothing wrong with it. After all, the idea is that we should be open to people who are other than us, accept them, be loving…Read more The intolerance of tolerance
This thing called Life.
Today I’ve decided to write on life. The everyday, the normal, the tedious. I happened to be thinking of this the other day when I was feeling super worn out from taking care of my kids, a day I found myself wondering when night would come. Or more, if there’d happen to be a sliver…Read more This thing called Life.
When the waters rise
We recently experienced the Category 5 hurricane that had a somewhat fitting name. Is it just me or does it also happen to you that when you think of the name “Harvey”, you conjure up an image of a pretty rambunctious kid? It was just me? Ok, well, let’s just play along with my imagination…Read more When the waters rise
Oh, for the love of…!
Friends, a struggle for me to grasp is the idea that God the Father, Abba, loves me. I have been able to wrestle with and come to an understanding that Jesus loves me, but I have always seen the Father differently from Jesus. You too? Anyway, thing is, I’d thought that way all my life…Read more Oh, for the love of…!
A cause-less generation?
If you’re any bit like me, you wonder why it appears that everyone is hyper sensitive about things nowadays. Why they seem easily angered, and why it seems there’s a constant need to protest something. Anything. Now, unlike, say, in the 70s, they’re not about to legitimately protest things like war, but you’re likely to…Read more A cause-less generation?
What’s DAD got to do with it?
So, Father’s Day 2017 just took place, and a few noted friends commented on the lack of equality in how it is usually celebrated compared to Mother’s Day. Just one of such comments got me thinking. I indeed realized that for Father’s Day, the stores only devoted a fraction of their shelving to such greeting…Read more What’s DAD got to do with it?
Insecure lovers
This post might be a short one. Just a heads up. So, you’re either thinking: “yaaay! I’ll read this quickly then and be on my way” or “man! Why????? I always looove her posts”. I sure hope you’re of the latter category – or I’ll have to reach through this computer and…and…I don’t have a…Read more Insecure lovers
Strong-th?
If you’re like me and have a crazy high metabolism, you’d know that there are times when you just don’t feel strong. One moment, you have all the energy in the world and are moving at a rapid pace, and the next, you feel like sitting down. Sometimes even lying down. That moment when you’re…Read more Strong-th?
