Being Ill During a Holiday

Try to make the best of being ill on holidays like the 4th of July, or any other one for that matter. If you happen to be in the hospital, or have a child in the hospital, there are ways to celebrate to try to make the best of things. Dress in the patriotic colors, pack […]

July 4th Reflection

Nothing like being American and celebrating July 4th with friends and family! I appreciate all we have here in the USA and on days like the 4th, I am reminded of how proud I am to be who I am. There is so much turmoil in this world, and even in this country, but when […]

The Heat

I cannot believe the heat wave was so bad through June. Our first heat wave came in May, I think, and it was difficult to get through. You want to stay in the house and keep the air running. Going out just to water the flowers is an effort and keeping up with the heat is a […]

I Need Your Help

Most of you know I was recently hospitalized with a bowel obstruction and I need your help! I am almost 100% and am just about able to do everything I did before I became ill, but something is missing. I still tire halfway through the day and am lucky enough that most of the time […]

Shamong Rotary

I spoke at a Rotary dinner last evening and although the group was small, they were very interested in what I had to share with them. When I speak to small groups at dinners I like to share who I am and all that I do. It is a bit different than my regular speaking engagements, […]
