Why Do Birds Not Freeze?

I am a lover of nature and the gift of life. Inspired daily by the blessings of my children and grandchildren, I have had rewarding careers in education and United Way. I enjoy birding, photography, writing and life-long learning. I am passionate about furthering conservation of our environment and especially bird habitats. I have a close walk with my Lord & Savior Jesus Christ. As a 15 year breast cancer survivor, I believe strongly in Living With A Hopeful Heart and am committed to advocating for early detection and spreading the message of hope for all. My post-breast cancer life motto is "Don't Waste the Miracle!" So, I'm all about living, loving and building memories with my family and friends and, hopefully, leaving this world a little better.

Life is a journey and each of us has our own experiences along the way. We have trials, challenges and great joys. I believe God places us on earth supplied with daily gifts to brighten our days and bring meaning to our lives. How do you find your joy? Are you an inspiration seeker? I'm here to share with you some of my gifts along my journey as it takes its turns and twists. There will be a mix of my love for birds in God's great gift of nature, a few guiding-life principles, a healthy sense of humor, the blessings of relationships, and some of my own life experiences like breast cancer,survivorship and even that ugly old word divorce. Please come back and visit and share with me your thoughts and experiences.
