5th Annual Ohana Hebb 2023
This year, we tried something different! Instead of heading to a State Park in October, we decided to enjoy the beach and stay at First Landing State Park. We wanted to enjoy the warm weather at the beach, so we went in September. Our dates were September 15, 16, and 17. The weather was BEAUTIFUL…

Today I decide to be
As vacation comes to a close, I anticipate the transition. Maybe that is why I woke up at 4:30 a.m. Nonetheless, I was ready to face the day, so I got up and fixed my cup of coffee in the new mug we bought at the farmer’s market. I changed it up this morning and…
Groundhog Day
Just before we left on vacation, Valentina and I discussed family dynamics.

Letting go of the little things so God can do great things…

Station 12
The silent aftermath of Saturday ushers in the resurrection. It is a day of great anticipation because we know the final outcome. The disciples only knew what faced them at that moment. They were running, hiding, weeping, and trying to grapple with their emotions while also searching their minds for any clues from the words…

Cinnamon Girl
The cinnamon broke me. I love cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. I’m a feeler, and sounds, sights, and smells can illuminate my mind and soul. So those spices are me. In fact, Parish will sing to me an old rock and roll song, “My Cinnamon Girl.” It took a lot to get away over the holidays,…
