The Special Bond Between Grandparents And Grandchildren
As a child, my family and I spent part of our winters and summers with Grandma Sara and Grandpa Jack (my mom’s folks) at their home in Windsor Gardens near Denver, Colorado. I have wonderful memories of them. At night, Grandma Sara used to tuck me into the roll out bed and tickle my forehead with her beautifully manicured nails while singing lullabies as I drifted off into slumber. I loved watching Grandpa Jack clean…
LIFE IS ABOUT CONQUERING CHALLENGES
Over the past year, I’ve had the opportunity to interact with some special people that I met. I remember speaking to this particular person about self-worth, values, love, and inner beauty. I remember challenging this person to look outside of the situation that they were living in and press the reset button to reestablish the rules of the relationship. Wow. Why would I say that? Well, we are often byproducts of our last relationships or…
A Thanksgiving Tribute To My Husband
Around Thanksgiving I think about the things for which I am grateful. We are fortunate enough to have a roof over our head, food on our plates, and heat for when it’s cold. We have loving family and friends; we have our son and enjoy a nice life. I am especially thankful for my wonderful husband who is the love of my life and an amazing father to our son, The Littlest E. I sometimes…
Keeping Me Engaged! Marriage Is Not A Singular Event
(Note: This is a repost of a blog I’ve previously written, but I thought you might like. Yes, today is not Sunday, it’s Friday. Happy Veteran’s Day to my Uncle C, cousin LA in Memphis, and cousin R in Florida and to anyone else I missed.) Quick post for this fabulous Sunday. I believe my wife has come up with the perfect remedy for all women to keep their husband’s engaged during pregnancy. Every and…
Be Inconsistent Sometimes
So I spent a weekend having fun with my friends and family. I commented on my theory regarding consistency and relationships. My comedy has evoked questions about how I came to this conclusion. Context is necessary. Consistency. I have this ongoing love affair with my take on love and relationships. One of my intelligent buddies TC put up a Facebook message that told his female friends to stop messing with inconsistent dudes! Hilarious. I agree….
High Heels Destroy Love: Love Is Shorter Than 5’11 And Corny!
Thinking about love, relationships, and expectations again. I had a hilarious time at homecoming. I got to see friends from years ago and make new ones. I think about the friendship me and my wife have and the ongoing cultivation of that friendship. I also had a chance to reflect on what brought us together and the elements that can tear us apart. I told some new female friends I’ve made via AY, T,M,T, and…
Parental Heartbreak: How A Sock Can Bring You To Tears
It’s only a sock, and a tiny one at that. From toe to orange-and-blue striped top, it barely stretches from the heel of my palm to the second knuckle of my middle finger. Yet my eyes start to tear at the sight of it. There’s the green streak where Joaquin, newly walking, stumbled while running down a grassy hill. A brown, kidney-shaped spot reminds me of a bloody torn toenail. Formerly white, afternoons of experimenting…
Love My Cottage Beauty Routine!
I’ve been on vacation – one of a very few chances I get each year to get out of the city and live a slower paced life for a few weeks – at a cottage near where I grew up in Ontario, Canada. This is my time to unplug, forget about work stresses, get into the sports I love but can’t keep up with all the time, soak up some sun, get to work on…
