A FATHER'S LOVE
It was Monday night last night, and for me that meant watching one of my guilty pleasures, “The Bachelorette.” I usually don’t like to admit it to very many people because somehow spending two…See More

Mail used to be exciting. The mailbox always used to hold a certain mystery as I approached it. You never knew if it would be the day you received a much anticipated letter, an invitation, or announcement, like “You have just won Publisher's Clearing House Sweepstakes (it could happen) Nowadays, though my husband and I will let two or three days elapse before we…See More
Kathy Laffitte posted a blog postTornado Preparedness—Can You Ever Be Prepared?
The picture on the television screen showed mass destruction when I came in from work. Like most folks I don’t have enough time to listen to the news during work hours, however, with the last couple of days of bad weather in Oklahoma, it wasn’t a complete surprise, when my husband told me they had been hit by what…See More
Kathy Laffitte posted a blog postMOTHER'S DAY IN THE MILITARY
I could hear cadence being sung near the parking lot at Ft. Sill’s Reynolds Army Community Hospital in Lawton, OK. My husband was in the Marine Corps at the time, but he was assigned to an Army base for training. I was in labor with our first child and like many first time mothers; I arrived at the hospital in early labor. Much…See More
Kathy Laffitte posted a blog postDo Not Be Afraid
I have been parking by a small tree in the parking lot at my office all winter, waiting and watching for the first signs of new spring life. Finally, finally that little tree budded and I felt like it was a call for celebration, so I went out and bought a pack of gum on my lunch hour. Hey, a girl has to live every now and then! I love my job, but being in an office day in and day out, often has me longing for the sunshine, the smell of freshly mown grass, a piña colada by the poolside. I can’t…See More

the value of communication and are passing that information on in the world."

The phone call came through as I stood in my father’s kitchen, “Hello..you want to speak to who?,” as father handed me the telephone with a quizzical look, “He says it’s a message for you.” While the caller still remains unidentified by name, he told me he was a…See More

Mary Burchnell commented on Kathy Laffitte's blog post WAITING"Learning to wait is difficult but sometimes rewarding but learning how to
just calm down and take life as it comes (no waiting) is always rewarding.
Thanks so much for your articles, Kathy."
Kathy Laffitte posted a blog postWAITING
We all know what it means to wait. We wait in line at the checkout counter, in heavy traffic, and for the mailman. We wait for birthdays, our first job, and our first child. When I was a little girl I really learned how to wait by waiting for Christmas. I spent the week before the holiday combing the house trying to find evidence of wrapping paper that gave a clue as to what packages might be placed under the tree. When the day before Christmas finally arrived, I could hardly contain myself.…See More
