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.

Together we can keep learning about ourselves and others!

You would think with the aging population and the numbers of baby boomers who are retiring with disposable income, there would be a little… Read More
How Special Are We?
Anyone my age remembers a time when you had your “Sunday” clothes, your “Holiday” clothes, and your “good shoes.” I will bet you also remember dishes in the house that were only for company or holidays or the myriad of other things that your parents designated to be used only on “Special Occasions.” The chairs were covered in plastic that… Read More
