I sold a property called, “The Dandelion House,” adorned with the theme throughout and even a dandelion painted accent wall.  Upon seeing it, my clients decided to write a contract. Before leaving, mom and two little girls closed their eyes, made the wish (that this would be their new home) and blew on the wall.…

It was our last night in South Dakota. Although our days had been packed with adventure, this special night centered…

Number my days

By dhetzler

January is my birthday month. Today, I’m reflecting on Psalm 90:12 (NIV):  “Teach us to number our days,  that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” I think about the time I’ve already lived. On Sunday, it will be 19,710 days.  That number surprises me. It in itself, doesn’t seem very large, but when I…

A new name

By dhetzler

At an animal shelter, we looked through the glass windows studying the names and faces. Each cubical reflected affectionate looks silently screaming, Choose me, PLEASE! Some dogs had stories, others had no known background. Our gaze met with blue eyes.

Sitting in the void

By dhetzler

 Zorro, full of life and wearing a black bandit mask, rescued us in 2011. Over a decade of doing life together, he filled spaces in our hearts with love—places we didn’t know that needed tender loving care. So as Zorro’s hips began to weaken over the past few months, David and I honored him each…

I wouldn’t change a thing.

By dhetzler

An older (or shall I say, wiser) friend texted me yesterday.  As we exchanged words, we landed on how time is fleeting. Mesmerized by her response, I lingered. “I wouldn’t change a thing.” So many questions came to mind. Does she live without regrets?  How does one get to a point of such acceptance of…
