Ruby Jenkins' name symbolizes love, strength, and protection-qualities she has embodied since birth. Born without pulmonary arteries entering her heart, she underwent open-heart surgery at four months old.

On a recent Friday afternoon, Ruby sang the ABC song and serenaded her mom, Jolene, with "The Wheels on the Bus." "What she does now...

I really enjoyed the film, "Groundhog Day." It starred Bill Murray – who is generally hilarious – as a TV weatherman covering Groundhog Day in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, home of the famous groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil. But Murray is caught in some kind of time warp in which the day's events, and mis-adventures, keep repeating themselves. I lost track of how many times Murray's alarm clock rang to start one more, identical day. You might be feeling the same way about a couple bills just int...

Isn’t it interesting how a series of unrelated events can lead to introspection and validate plans you have set in motion? A goal I established for 2025 is to send a card or letter to individuals, just because. No hidden agenda, no strings attached. A simple ‘thinking of you,’ a random act of kindness. I didn’t set a quota because doing so seemed to put a limit on potential connections. Since Jan. 1, I’ve sent three cards, one to a stranger who shared a powerful message, thanking her for the w...
