Saying Goodbye
We attended the funeral of my son’s girlfriend’s father the other day and I felt very certain I wanted to share this post with all of you. Johnathan’s girlfriend had the strength and charm to tell me that when we met, her parents played a major role in how she developed and what she will […]
August 9th: Touch A Truck Event
A few years ago, I took part in the Ronald McDonald House of Southern New Jersey, ‘Touch a Truck.’ We came to the Promenade in New Jersey prepared to sell my books and let kids climb in an ATV I was raffling off. There were vehicles of all shapes and sizes, food, games, and everything […]
A Nice Sunday
I have a new friend I met on a social media site, Joe, who has embraced my book and taken my story to the next level. He loves to write on the side and since he is a doctor, this hobby relaxes him and allows him to express himself. Joe read my story and together […]

A Day at the Beach
Babysitting my granddaughters so is much fun and very rewarding. They embrace life at age 7 and 8 differently than we do as adults. They smile at the small stuff, love being there with us each minute of the day as we care for them, and just make my husband and I love life that much […]
