A Fall Morning
As I walked my dog this morning, the sun was beginning to rise. It drew my attention and held me there, studying the beauty of the moment. I then took a breathe and slowly looked around my year. Although it is sad to say goodbye to the summer and the beauty of the flowers and […]
A Gathering
Planning a fundraiser is a job. There is no doubt about it, no getting around it, and no easy way in or out of it. I say these words only if you want it to work. I have been a fundraiser for years and was self taught. I read a lot, planned a lot, recruited […]
Dream Vacations
Since the day we were married, my husband and I planned that we would someday make a trip to Hawaii. Thirty-two years later, after many years of no flying, not enough time to do it, no flying, too far…did I mention not wanting to fly especially that far,we got on the plane and made the trek. Nine days in […]
Chicken Soup
You know the old saying, “Chicken soup is good for the soul?” Well, it is. I’ve always believed it from the time I was a child when my grand mom and mother made their special chicken soup. I would stand by their side and watch each step and savor each moment with them and the […]

Staying Healthy
Everyone has goals and purposes in life, I assume, but how we get there is a different story. Because I was so ill and weak throughout my life, I feel very focused on taking care of my body so that, as I grow older, I will be able to stay strong and healthy. I am […]
Comedy Night
I am super excited about my upcoming Comedy Night introducing my new book The Crusaders of which I am a super hero along with six other amazing authors. I love life and I love to laugh. I wake up in the morning smiling and go to bed at night doing the same. I never really […]
My Son
Today, 24 years ago at 8 AM, my labor was induced since I was past my original due date. After having been through all I had been through in my life, why would my pregnancy be any less difficult. At 4 1/2 months, I had surgery and now, over 9 months, they fire up the […]
Childhood Cancer Awareness Month
As September comes close to an end, I ponder about the this past month, and I think of all the posts about Childhood Cancer Awareness. Everyone jumped on the band wagon and shared, posted, liked, commented, etc., and to say the least, it was quite touching to read all that I could read. We banned […]
