Reconciliation requires stubbornness–I mean perseverance

December 9, 2018 by Kelly Irvin 6 Comments

As the year winds down, it’s naturally a time of retrospection. At the beginning of the year I chose as “my” word reconciliation.

Doing the thankful walk everyday

July 29, 2016 by Kelly Irvin 27 Comments

Sometimes it takes an enormous, unexpected wake-up call to learn to be thankful for the many things we take for granted.  I received a series of those calls beginning two years ago this July when I discovered I had trouble picking up my feet when I walked. I was on vacation at my sister and brother-in-law’s farm…  Read More
