Instilling Legacies of Faith, Hope, and Courage
April 6, 2020 byAt Callaway-Jones, paying tribute to Life and Legacy is our mission. We ask, “How will you be remembered?” in our pre-need conversations and in times of immediate need. We focus on the legacy a person creates in his or her lifetime and how that legacy can best be shared in bringing comfort to those we leave behind. It’s true our funerals have changed, short-term, but only in numbers of Continue Reading…
Thank You for Following Our Lead During the COVID-19 Pandemic
March 19, 2020 byThe good news? There’s no social distancing required with our fur babies right now! For the rest of us: We can all appreciate our nation, state, and city leadership as they have anticipated how to keep individuals alive and thriving—physically and economically–with Centers for Disease Control programs addressing this COVID-19 pandemic. We especially appreciate our health care community, first responders, and hospice caregivers for all they do 24/7, and we Continue Reading…
What Would You Give for One More Day?
February 28, 2020 byRecently, the phrase “What I wouldn’t give for just one more day” has been stuck in my mind. Each February, as we gather with those remembering their loved ones lost at Valentine’s Day, then the meaning of “Leap Year,” one bonus day, February 29th, a “gift of time” that people tend to forget. What a difference a day makes! What if we took the approach that every certain date (whatever Continue Reading…
Brazos Valley’s Heart of Giving on Full Display This Week
February 21, 2020 byI really love the month of February in Bryan-College Station because there are so many different activities and opportunities to “give back” to– important nonprofits that need our help. Every year the theme might change, or it might not, but the reality is that during this special month, people come together to celebrate an organization and salute the volunteers who advance its causes daily. Last Friday, Valentine’s Day was very Continue Reading…

Welcoming a New Decade—Omit Resolutions, Add in Your Dreams
January 13, 2020 byLet’s see by show of hands (virtually), how many of you have already abandoned your diet resolution, going to the gym, or your promise to yourself to clear your home of one item every day for the next year? If your hand is in the air, don’t feel badly. After all, resolutions are just goals—ideas you list—compiled maybe a week or two before year-end. They come to mind when you’re Continue Reading…
The Spirit of Christmas Is What We Make It
December 25, 2019 byOne of the things I like most about the holiday season is that people seem to be smiling more than usual. It’s often in anticipation of being together with family who lives at a distance. Just like the old days when we were growing up, people planned far in advance where they’d be this week of the year—together with family. It wasn’t in any book,, but I think I heard Continue Reading…

And lots of them are in downtown Bryan! Notice the lovely City Continue Reading…
A Season of Gratitude, A Community Feast of Giving, and Time Spent with Family
November 27, 2019 byEarlier this month, several Facebook friends began posting daily “What I’m thankful for” entries, and it was fun to check and see what everyone was sharing. For some in my life, “grateful for friends and family” was a common theme. Nice to read. Others were grateful to have a job after months of searching for one. Glad for them, I thought. Others were glad to be expecting their soldiers home Continue Reading…
Honoring our Brazos Valley Veterans
November 11, 2019 by“Thank you for your service.” Whenever I see someone in uniform, just as you do, we say “Thank you for your service” to them. The usual response is a quiet smile from the men and women in military service to our country. What we mean by that is more than five words of sentiment. It’s not just reserved for those who served in world wars, which goes without saying too Continue Reading…
