I’ve had so many calls and emails from you all wishing us well and praying for us. As many of you know, John’s father, after a courageous fight to recover from two surgeries, finally passed away on February 1. Needless to say, my articles came to a halt around New Years because we stayed at [...]
This is my final post of 2008!
As I close out this year, I am most thankful for my family. As many of you know, my father in law has been in the hospital for most of December. He really gave us a scare. I praise God for answered prayers and am hopeful that he will [...]
Have you ever opened your heart, trusted someone and then felt the horrific sting of betrayal? Have you ever dropped a wall in hopes that the reason for the wall itself was somehow all wrong from the start? That’s the stuff dreams are made of after all. The hope of something we never thought would [...]
This year, my husband coordinated with his father to spend the month of December with us so that he could have long awaited knee replacement surgery. We worked through the late summer and fall to get everything ready so that we could have a quiet December and my Father-in-law could have his new bionic knee [...]
This has been the most beautiful Fall. The trees are turning, the sun is shining and the air is crisp. We’re entering a season that creates stress for most of us…….but when it passes the memories warm our hearts.

How will the world be a better place when you’re gone? Will your presence have made any impact at all?

This week I went to have dinner with my long time best friend of 20 + years, Lisa. It was the first time I’d seen her since the death of her sister Gail a few weeks before. Gail suffered from Cancer and wasn’t diagnosed until she was already in Stage 4. From the time she found out, [...]
I’ve been asked several times recently to tell the story of how I met my husband John. We have quite a story that our friends enjoy teasing us about!
John and I met in late 2003 when he attended the Boot Camp. Now, I don’t get to know people simply by their attendance to the seminar because there are too many [...]
Did you ever see a movie called “The Truman Show” with Jim Carey? Sometimes I think I’m living a life just like Truman’s.
The DANA SHOW! Starring: Dana Hamman!
I just know I am entertaining the cosmos, aliens from another planet or maybe God pops popcorn and curls up on his cloud for a good laugh when [...]
