This weekend, Jason & I took a nice long walk/jog along the road that leads from our island (Ocean City) to the next island (containing the towns of Strathmere & Sea Isle). Jason works in Strathmere in the summertime and wanted to check out the beach situation, since storms tend to wash part of it [...]
“Men and women belong to different species and communications between them is still in its infancy.” ~ Bill Cosby
Ahh, communication…. have you noticed how hard it can be? Most fights (at least in my marriage) start due to a lack of communication. Or, to be more accurate, a lack of UNDERSTANDABLE communication.
What do I mean [...]
In case you haven’t noticed, it’s been a little while since my last post. Main reason: I’ve been in California (internet-less) since Thursday!!
I was at an internet marketing event, the first ever Christian internet marketing seminar called Illuminate Conference. My husband was one of the speakers, and I was looking forward to learning and hearing [...]
