A Recent Show
We decided to do something different and go to a show in a non-casino on Mothers Day weekend. Not knowing the details and not wanting to insult anyone at all, it somehow was not what we expected. Although it was a non-casino, the building at one time operated as a casino, yet the sound was not […]
My Uncle’s Passing
My favorite Uncle, and really the only uncle that we have stayed in contact with over the years, recently passed. Uncle Harry has been dealing with dementia for about 7 years and also had an aortic aneurysm, among other health issues. Considering all his problems, he managed to always have a great and positive outlook […]
Facing Fears
My granddaughter, who is only 8 years old, told her mother and also me a few times that she wants to “face her fears.” At first, I could only laugh since my thoughts were, “What kind of fears can an 8 year old have,” right? Well, I do understand that there are so many firsts […]
A Recent Interview
Recently I was interviewed, along with a number of people in Vineland, for the Grapevine Newspaper. What we all have in common, is that in the past few years we all were honored as Hometown Heros. In 2010, after my book came out, I was honored as a hero to area communities for what I went […]
A Friends Daughter

Best Recipe for a Cold Night
Finally, winter has hit, temperatures are under 20 and in the single digits around the country. What does one do when the sun goes down and it’s so very chilly your bones are cold?. For me, it’s a simple mix of breaking out the crock-pot for soup or stew and changing into my warm cozy […]
My Book
Wanting to help people in many ways is such a wonderful thing. Personally, I like to meet the families I help whenever I can, but that is not always possible. Writing my book and sharing it is another way for me to reach out and help others. By reading and sharing my words, I am […]
Evening of Inspiration
When you put your mind to something you want in life and work for it, you can have everything you dream of. Seven years ago with a few friends around my pool, we planned to promote my new book and raise money for my new foundation. My dream was for 200 people to attend and […]
Recent Dinner At RMH
We love going to do dinners at the RMH of southern NJ. There is a comfort when we arrive until we are finished cleaning up that we belong. I try to go up with different groups supporting my foundation about 4-5 times a year. It not only is fun and rewarding for me personally, the […]
What do I Want to Learn this Year
Every day is a learning experience in one way or another. Sometimes we do not even realize we may have learned something and sometimes it hits us in the face so quickly that we are surprised that we did not ever learn it before. It could be something simple, or something important, but learning is […]
