I grew up in the shadow of my sister, which is kind of funny, because she’s too short to cast much of a shadow. Even so, when it came to personality, she was the star of the show–literally. She played the role of Oliver in our high school musical, and all...

Drawn from my archives As I was driving by Starbucks, I saw the cutest thing ever: a man with a little girl in a fluffy pink coat sitting on top his shoulders. I stopped the car to let them pass by, and just as I did, I caught a glimpse of her smile. Perhaps...

I think we’ve all said it from time to time. In that moment of victory when we’re proud of all we’ve accomplished. “I did it!” we say. And in the thrill of the moment, we want to dance and shout it from the rooftops! I finished my...

Have you ever done something kind for someone and wondered, “Where is the reward in all of this?” Maybe they’re ungrateful. Maybe they’re exhausting. Maybe you have tried and tried and tried to make amends, but to no avail. How many times do...

Back in the day, my dad had a little phrase he used to say. “A little birdy told me…” he’d tell us, whenever we were up to no good. I always wondered how he knew, but I guess with five sisters in the house news had a way of getting around....
