Quilting
So–I’ve wanted to learn to quilt since I can remember. I have always admired those who could, and watched a few minutes of a quilting show or two, here or there, marveling at skill and patience and designs and artistic ability of quilters…not to mention that most of the women that I know who do [...]
“Take a stand; make a change…”
Donna requested, about two months ago, that I write about new beginnings. So that’s exactly what I’m going to do. Let it never be said that the mPower bloggers never did anything for the people! Change is an interesting thing. It can be exciting. It can be scary. It can be welcomed. It can be [...]
“And I was like baby, baby, baby, ohhhhh…”
I had a brand new experience lately. Early one evening, I started feeling this funny bloated feeling in my abdomen. It didn’t go away. It became more and more painful. So I did what any logical person would do when experiencing a medical problem: I called my mother. I described my symptoms, and she told [...]
Where knowledge ends…
In the 1970s, a movie came out called Lost Horizon. Never heard of it? You’re in good company; it flopped in the box office, and was never released on VHS or DVD. (Fun fact: Burt Bacharach and Hal David did the music.) I know the movie because my mother knew the music, and I learned [...]
My Friend
Today, my friend is dying. I don’t tell you this to make you sad. I am sad that her time on earth is soon to be over, but I am very grateful that I have been blessed with the opportunity to know her. We haven’t known each other for a long time, yet I am [...]
The Greatest Adversary
I am a nerd. For any of you who’d disagree with me, I’ll prove it to you by the following statement: I was watching Star Trek: The Next Generation recently (now do you believe me? lol), and some random guest star scientist dude was chatting with Wesley Crusher, the teenage son of Dr. Beverly Crusher. [...]

Tamera is our guest blogger today. She’s a great friend, and offers great perspective on life today. Enjoy! I am studying to become a special education teacher. I learn that all of my students will learn differently, and I think everyone learns differently anyway. So, if everyone learns differently why when we get a paper [...]
Women in History
I always wondered, as a child, why all the heroes were men. I was an avid reader and only a few biographies were about women: Florence Nightingale, Betsy Ross, very few others. I love that my daughters have grown up with many biographies and stories about women. Even though print was lacking, our heritage stories [...]
Compassion
Pauline is our guest blogger today. She is the mother of 4, grandmother of 15, great-grandmother of 9. She is known for generosity—and her biscuits—and she is a true southern girl who cooks for those she loves. Pauline shares an experience with her great-grandson from a few years ago. I have had problems with my [...]
Amazing Things
This week has been one of the most difficult weeks of my life. I made a major decision, and by acting on it, made a major change. Some of the ramifications of that decision have been extremely difficult to deal with. And what I have discovered through all of this is that I have an [...]
