Angels Among Us ~~ Rachel

November 18, 2017 by Linda A Marshall 11 Comments

Yesterday I did a favor for Rachel. She recently moved, is still feeling overwhelmed with organizing her new space, and I’m pretty good at organizing. It is the least I could do for this angel … a small repayment for her kindness to me during difficult times in my life. Rachel first appears in my […]

Another Welcome Gift of Grace

Her dark, deep-set eyes regarded others intently as she listened to discover the values that guided their life choices. When she was delighted, a huge smile lit up her face. When troubled, her thick eyebrows furrowed […]

The Kindness of Strangers

July 13, 2017 by Linda A Marshall 14 Comments

My tale begins at Dayton International Airport on July 4. My friends Sharon and Kathryn came for a visit. Sharon drove in from Pittsburgh and arrived in time to accompany me to the airport to pick up Kathryn, who flew in from Wichita. Sharon and I were in a small area of the airport as […]

Noticing

June 28, 2017 by Linda A Marshall 12 Comments

  On Monday I had an opportunity to notice how I am being affected physically and mentally by the threats to the protections put in place after the 2008 financial crisis and to the Affordable Care Act. I can’t afford to lose what I lost in 2008. My daughter can’t afford to have another healthcare crisis if […]
