An Ill Friend
I have been chatting with a friend, who I will not name, about the surgery she has scheduled for cancer. She is a strong, confident, independent, lovely women and has been a good friend over the 25 years or so I have known her. We may not have spent unlimited time together throughout those years, but […]
A Friend
There is a friend of mine who has a challenged daughter. Not remembering her diagnosis and being misleading is not what I want to blog about but it is the person within. Lisa and I became friendly when she opened her business in my area and I began to frequent it. We have never been […]
Grandchildren
Recently, our two granddaughters spent the night at our home. I often write about them since they are a big part of our lives. These two special young ladies are so very full of life. They embrace everything and see everything in such a refreshing way, that it has to make you smile. I am […]
Ronald McDonald House
We are heading to do a dinner at the Ronald McDonald House in Southern New Jersey to cook dinner with some volunteers and to gift my books to the families who are there tonight with treatments and surgeries. Some families are there to stay long term while a family member is treated for something, and […]
Put Your Mind to It
You can do anything you put your mind to. We all can do anything we put our minds to. It goes with the saying “Just do it.” I was a bit nervous about changing my event this year, but I had a vision. Something I did from the past was brought back to life and […]
Try Something New
I often blog about things I do and sometimes “stepping out of the box.” I am what I would refer to as conservatively daring, while my son, for instance, lives life to the fullest. He has pretty much tried it all: surfing, snowboarding, all kinds of sports in school etc. I prefer to be more […]
My Recent Evening of Inspiration
After 6 years, we changed the event enough to make it noticeable. All I can say is, it worked. The venue was the same, the food was the same, and awesome, open bar, and, of course, I was still the keynote speaker. Books were available for purchase throughout the evening. We eliminated dancing but still […]
Losing a Friend
I recently wrote a blog about visiting a very ill friend and how I felt after the visit. One minute we are all here and in the blink of an eye, it is our time to go. Carmen, a long time friend, has left the earth and recently given in to his illnesses. His partner […]
Giving Back
Isn’t that what life is all about? Maybe not for everyone, but for me, it is about living life to the fullest and giving back as much as I can. It may be because of all I have been through in life, but allowing myself to have fun and smile each and every day is […]
Radio Show
I was recently interviewed on a live radio show out of Vineland, NJ, 92.1 FM, with a great guy, DJ Steve. I have been interviewed numerous times and this experience was my favorite by far. Steve and I only chatted over the phone a few times and never met until 5 minutes before the interview. It […]
