How many times have we confided in someone or multiple people, all to have one or more repeat what we entrusted them to hold dear? Time has taught me more lessons than I can count and one of the most important ones is: If you don’t want something repeated, tell God! Our secrets are safe with Him. Not only that, He is our Source that we draw our strength from. We rely upon Him to see us through the good…
Happy Wedding Day to all the Saturday brides! Wishing you well! Wishing you Together, today, always and forever! Written by Kathryn Kaufmann © June 30th, 2018
It’s easier said than done. When someone mistreats us or a grave injustice has occurred, we can carry a grudge like a thirty ton weight. Eventually, the load becomes so heavy, we either flat-line over it or release ourselves from it. There really is something about forgiveness. Whomever it is, whatever it is, however it is…breathe deep, exhale and genuinely wish them well. And what you will find and feel is exhilarating and liberating. Written by Kathryn Kaufmann © June…
Two sweet and simple words with profound meaning that no one ever tires of hearing and they can never be overused: “Thank You!” Written by Kathryn Kaufmann © June 30th, 2018

Are you single? Divorced? Widowed? Never-been-married? Don’t sweat single. Life can get lonely at times, but the key is to never feel alone. One of the most valuable pieces of wisdom my Mom passed on to me was, “You can be married and miserable.” We can stay connected and plugged-in through family, friends, social outlets, social circles, work, school, volunteer jobs, travel and just being kind to strangers.

(Video Photo of Cooper by Mom’s vase) My dog is psychic. Call it crazy, but I swear he knows things. Sadly, after my mom passed away, many of her valuables were transferred from one storage facility to another without me being allowed an opportunity to get a proper accounting before the boxes were relocated. As I began to open the boxes that I was certain were properly marked with a Black Sharpie, I realized much of her stuff was missing…
Have you ever been completely lost without a smidgen of direction? All you know to do is to step out on faith and trust God to guide you without one clue as to where He is leading you to or what He is leading you to do. And then one day, the blind-fold is removed and you realize, through the direction of the Holy Spirit, you have safely landed in a place or position greater than you could have ever…
