Discovering Me! Discovering You!
In this category, In this section it's not that I think my life’s story has been so different than millions of other women out there but it may be just different enough that someone will read it and find comfort or inspiration in the “sameness” or see it as inspiration to look at your own journey and how you became the wonderful you that you are today.
Each day is a new opportunity to learn something new. It can be a new word, a new recipe, a new language. Every day in every way we are learning. Maybe we are coping with the loss of a job or a loved one, dealing with a serious illness, helping our children or something that impacts the way our lives used to be or learning how to make the most of our lives as they are in our new reality. Whether we have entered a new phase of life like college, getting a new job, retirement, parenthood, returning to school to pursue another degree, taking a dance class or swim lessons, learning to cope with illness or loss - every day in every way we can learn and embrace something new.

If you go through life just trying, it could… Read More
Leaving Home – At 65 Years Old!!
A lot of people spend their entire lives living in the same city where they grew up. In some cases, living in the same community only a few doors away from family and friends. I did the same. A lot of people go off to college and then settle elsewhere not returning to their hometown but deciding to strike with… Read More
Happy Holidays!
As most of us are heard to say this time of year, I don’t know where the year went! Particularly this last quarter of the year for me has been so full that I have been remiss in posting new articles to this blog. For that I apologize but rest assured that I plan to be right back at it… Read More
