Live: Appreciating Uniqueness

by Kelley Taylor, Make Every Day A Holiday

I read non-fiction.  Period.  The last fiction book I picked up was “The Notebook” which I consumed in an afternoon along with two boxes of tissues.  I swore I’d never do that again to myself.
I know there’s something to that…like a flaw of some sort that makes me [...]

My Wish For You: A Visit Home

Today I wish for you to return to the home in your heart.
Everyone has a home, be it the place they grew up, a new home just built or bought, or a love they have known.
Today I wish for you to remember that place. Return to it. Whether physically visiting your old stomping grounds or [...]

To See: The Sweetest Song in the World

I was watching America’s Got Talent last night and this little girl, Kaitlyn Ashley Maher – only four years old, captured my heart. If you haven’t heard her, you simply must to hear the sweetest sound in the world.

Tim Russert Was No Head of State

by Kelley Taylor, Make Every Day A Holiday
Tim Russert was no head of state. He was never elected into office, he wasn’t a president of a large corporation, founder of an organization, leader of a nation, movie or rock star.

To Hear: Did You

Did You
by Hoobastank

would you say everything you could
do the things that you thought you would

did you find what you’re [...]

Have I risked?
Have I given?
Have I received?
Have I loved?
Have I failed?
Have I won?
Have I lost?
Have I tried something new?
Have I laughed?
Have I cried?
Have I written [...]

My Wish For You: Good Drive Time

If you have to drive, whether it’s for a long distance or a short ride, I wish for you good solid driving time where you can look around and notice where you’ve been, how far you’ve come, and where you are today.
I wish for you the knowledge and security of knowing where you are going, [...]

To Hear: Life Is A Highway

Am I on a country music kick or what?!  But this, well this is one of my favorite get up and get going songs. 

 
Life Is A Highway
Rascal Flatts
Life’s like a road that you travel on
When there’s one day here and the next day gone
Sometimes you bend, sometimes you stand
Sometimes you turn your back to the [...]

Live: Drive Time

Have you ever just gone through the motions of your day without really paying attention to what’s around you? I have! I swear I’ve even driven to work and back when, turning the key off, I wonder, “How did I get here?”
I’ve somehow managed to get lost in what I have to do, what’s [...]
