Lately, I have been noticing something different about myself. I don’t know why the change is happening, but I do know that I have been more anxious, less patient, and more distracted than usual. I have even been thinking a lot more than usual (I didn’t even think that was even possible). So I asked myself three […]
Okay, if you came here looking for the Slow-Cooker version of Chicken and Dumplings that I promised you, just nix that idea. Why? Because to be completely honest, I “jacked up” my slow cooker dumplings, lol! You see, when I was using my slow cooker, my dumplings were a little too doughy, a result I attribute to […]
A page from the earlier chapters of my life… When I was back in junior high school, I had a boyfriend (who shall remain nameless). He was actually my first boyfriend, and our story is not really all that different from others I have heard. Let’s see. Boy likes girl. Girl starts to like boy. Boy and […]

I’ll be the first to admit that I am unaware of all the parables in the Bible, and today I learned a new one. When I went to church this morning, Pastor spoke on the subject of being able to start again, as I am sure many ministers did on the first Sunday of the […]
As 2015 draws to a close, I’d like to take the time to share with you my 15 favorite items of the year. I know it seems to be a bit much for me to try to narrow my favorite things to a total of 15, but I thought long and hard about these choices, […]

According to Merriam-Webster, fascinating means “very interesting or appealing”, synonymous with words such as alluring, attractive, bewitching, captivating, or even charismatic. Words that can be used to describe basically anyone: celebrity or not. So what makes Barbara Walters’ list of Fascinating People so fascinating?

My “2015 Holiday Season” got off to a great start when Susan, my sorority sister (and long-time friend), invited me to her home for a Holiday Tea.
