Every day, my daughter, Kimberly or Real Talk Kim as the world knows her, and I go online at 6 pm and talk to thousands of men and women about the solutions to the challenges of life.

The Next Season
I began wondering today what people would say about me when I’m gone. She adored her husband, she was an amazing Mimi to five grandsons, when her son and daughter called, she always answered. We always loved her as our pastor. She was my trustworthy friend. This is wishful thinking on my part as IContinue reading “The Next Season”
Why Friday?
Why in the world were Henry, Rob and I all home on a Friday afternoon? We were a busy family, and normally, my husband was out and about doing what he loved the most – visiting hospitals, inviting people to church and having Bible studies with new families.

You see, my baby brother, two years old, had just passed away with meningitis and my mom was beingContinue reading “How Do I Deal?”
Early Morning Wondering ….
As I was laying in bed this morning, I did not want to get up until I had my thoughts together.
