She is such an intentional teacher of children. When there’s a child in her house, there’s nothing casual about that. Judy is kind of the matriarch of all matriarchs as far as I’m concerned. She has 9 children, (resulting in her current 45 grandchildren) and she ran a tight ship. They are all grown, married, […]

Focusing on other people and their challenges, and finding ways to serve, and finding joy in the moment really helps me push aside those thoughts that are all about myself. This episode is a continuation of last week’s story. You can watch part 1 here. Merilee kindly shared some of the feelings and experiences from […]

Turning lemons into lemonade has never been such an understatement as when referring to Merilee. After living in […]
