What She Wanted to Say (and What I Needed to) 7/13/2025

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt This week has flown by, and there’s been a great deal going on. Not to mention, a topic wouldn’t come to me no matter how much random information I threw at myself, hoping something would spark a little creativity. I even came up with the idea to simply ask my daughterContinue reading “What She Wanted to Say (and What I Needed to) 7/13/2025”

The Blessing Unsaid 11/17/2024

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt Maybe it is the time of year.  Have you ever had those moments when you were doing something simple, maybe a routine activity and you are suddenly struck by how overwhelmingly blessed you are? Is that just me?  I have had several moments like this lately when I was almost reducedContinue reading “The Blessing Unsaid 11/17/2024”

A Thankless Tale 4/14/2024

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt Today I give you a story of woe. It is a tale full of frustration and strife. There is disappointment, perhaps even a bit of anger. It is a true story as well.  I experienced it my very own self over the course of the past few weeks.  Many of youContinue reading “A Thankless Tale 4/14/2024”

A Grateful Nation 11/12/2023

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt This weekend we in America honor our veterans.  I feel like, and I am most certainly talking to myself here, that this is a terribly underappreciated holiday. We are a very patriotic country and we do try to do a good bit to honor those who have served but I don’tContinue reading “A Grateful Nation 11/12/2023”

Thank Heaven for Small Mercies 11/27/2022

Celebrations 6/6/2021

And It’s Not Even Thanksgiving 2/21/2021

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I am not sure what caused it but I seem to be waxing sentimental today.  I thought it was a matter of me hearing the somewhat nostalgic moan of the breeze whistling against the windows during a moment of silence.  I don’t suppose many people really have that much by wayContinue reading “And It’s Not Even Thanksgiving 2/21/2021”

Wisdom from an Imaginary Table 11/22/2020

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt This blog is proving more difficult to write than originally anticipated. I had thought to myself that writing a blog extolling the joys of Thanksgiving, since we are to that week of the year, would be a tad on the effortless side. However, the ebb and flow of tides in theContinue reading “Wisdom from an Imaginary Table 11/22/2020”
