Review: The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel
I recently watched The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. It reminds me of a beautiful young man I knew in my Story-Telling class at Brigham Young University whose father was from India, if I remember right. What a precious time I had there ten years ago.

Hummingbirds and Promises
I was cleaning my car out and talking to the Lord, while in Washington last spring. I told him I would need help to know what to do and he just better be there. Then I saw the hummingbird, north of me by about 6 ft and 1 1/2 ft above my head. It hovered…

To Whom Do I Write My Blog?
Blog professionals say to write to just one person. Like when we would have scripture study or homework. I would write to my children. They are strong now. They have found their “life rhythm”. My journey may not be compatible any longer. I feel sorry for them in a way. Not having a “real” mother.…
