I grew up in a large Catholic family, in a small town. My dad was a doctor, my mom a nurse. We had a lot of fun. We had snow machines; I had freedom to run all over town, we went to Glenwood Hot Springs a lot. My mother, a nurse, was very loving. My dad, a doctor, was...

Christmas is going to be different this year. In my last post I mentioned that we’ve been going to my in-law’s house in the country for 30 years. It’s in the small town where my husband and I grew up. I adore my in-laws and feel blessed that we have...

Yesterday I had to tell my mother-in-law we weren’t coming for Christmas. I think it was hard for her to hear. For 30 years we’ve traveled over the mountain and through the woods to the beautiful home that sits on 40 acres in the town where my husband and...

It happened again yesterday. I met a friend for lunch and she asked, “Where do you keep all that stuff in your brain?” I responded, “What stuff?” She said, “You are like a walking encyclopedia with books, podcasts, videos, TED talks, research studies, interesting...

We had such a wonderful time. The first part of the trip—Germany, Austria, and Northern Italy—we did on our own. Then we did a small Rick Steves tour called Villages of Italy. We skipped the big cities, Milan, Florence, and Rome, this time and just did the...

I just got home from seeing clients. The house is clean and quiet. Our next set of Airbnb guests are set to arrive any minute. Instead of settling down with a book, I hopped onto my Facebook writer’s group (Hopewriters) and saw Emily Freeman’s video in...

4 days ago by lucille_zimmerman I received several #Airbnb bookings this past week. (I had our listing turned off for the winter.) I'm excited to meet our guests. So far we have a couple young gals from North Carolina coming for a concert, and a lady coming for a wedding from England. The lady from England was a bit hesitant---she said she doesn't drive. I told her if she couldn't get a ride back to the airport with some of the other guests we would be happy to take her. I realize that doesn't make financial sense since the airport is 45 minutes away, but…

6 days ago by lucille_zimmerman In April 1999, a woman of God gave me a tiny note and asked me to tuck it into the Western Wall. Her note was a prayer asking for revival in Littleton, Colorado. The day after I put the note in the wall the Columbine tragedy happened back home in my town. We saw a massive revival here. Thousands of people, young and old, filled the local churches. I don't claim to understand the ways of God but I will never forget that note. Many people told me not to go to Israel. They said it was too dangerous. And…
