It’s often said that you don’t know the value of water until the well runs dry. Well, I don’t know if anyone says that but we all know the popular saying “You don’t know what you have until it’s gone.” Sadly, that old saying plays out in many marriages, where a woman only begins to …
Every relationship is like a garden. You can plant all the right seeds, love, commitment, loyalty, but without water and sunshine, those seeds will struggle to grow.

Last week at the mall, I caught a lady staring at me. And it wasn’t one of those stares that you immediately know what they mean. It was an expressionless one, but I knew it wasn’t a blank stare; she wasn’t lost in thought, she was actually looking at me. But what the look meant …
You know that feeling when you finally taste a meal that feels like it touches your soul? It’s not too spicy, and not too salty. Not undercooked or overcooked.
