I hope you had a most wonderful Christmas! This was Mowgli’s first, and I think he was overwhelmed by all the chaos. I got us all up super early because I knew our stockings would be filled with Santa. Woof! As is our Christmas day tradition, we were slugs. We opened gifts, grazed our […]
Sharing Christmas
As a child, I was always afraid of the Grinch as he stole Christmas! It took me years before I could watch the entire cartoon and learn that he had a change of heart at the end. Christmas was saved after all! I recently watched a newer version of the classic tale starring Benedict Cumberbatch […]
Kranky as I Jingle All the Way
You’ll get the title of my blog if you have seen two Christmas movies that deserve coal in their stockings! Yes, I am talking about Christmas with the Kranks starring Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis and Jingle All the Way with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sinbad. Although different movies, their theme is the same: being […]
We are Children of God
I take great comfort—especially these days—knowing I am a child of God. He loves us as His own, and He has great patience with us. I like to think of life as a road trip with God. He’s driving as our Father, and we are in the back seat. Within minutes of the trip, we […]

Happy New Year from Sedona, AZ

YOUR HEALTH This is the season of miracles. Have any doubt…just consider everything your body does in one minute. Complex systems are operating without our awareness or assistance. We breathe; blood gets pumped to all our organs; organs process food; and we benefit! Perhaps if we considered our body a miracle, we might feed […]
Kuma gets into the Christmas spirit!
Being a mountain dog, I was eager to explore Texas hill country when we lived there. My humans were kind enough to plan a trip to Fredericksburg so we could do just that. The drive is a little over four hours from the Houston area, but we stopped in a lovely town called Boerne. They […]

YOUR HEALTH You may try to hide what is going on in your life, but your skin is probably giving you away! Yes, our skin is often a clue as to what is out of balance in our lives. When we experience redness, it usually means high levels of stress, which increase our Cortisol levels. […]
