Memories
I’ve been reading a lot online about people that have suffered a loss. Most of these posts are on my Facebook page and each time I read about a child, mother, or any loved one who has passed, I think of my mother. I usually do not blog on how much I miss her, her […]
A Marriage
Recently, my husband and I stood up for two friends that decided to wed. I am thrilled for them since, although in different scenarios, they both have been to hell and back. One suffered the tragic loss of a companion after 30 years together. The other went through a relationship with a partner who suffered […]
Getting Together with the Girls
The next thing I declare as very important in the ‘Year of You,’ is not forgetting to do things for yourself. Even though you may be caretaker, in charge in some way of a sick child (or even a family member who is an adult), you cannot forget about yourself. I have often blogged about […]
Mother Nature
I often blog about my fascination with Mother Nature and her ways of the world. Every year, no matter how horrid the winters may be or even how mild, mother nature shows her true colors just about the same time each and every year. One day it happens. I walk outside and there they are… […]
Graduation Day
Like most of you out there, I’m celebrating my nephew’s graduation from college and his success in becoming a teacher today! Of course he does not have a job as of yet, but I have complete faith that he’ll find one before the summer comes to an end. I wish him all the happiness and […]
Loving Yourself
Every day, I awake happy the moment I open my eyes. I smile almost all day and, as most of you who know me personally, I am never at a loss for words. I embrace life, love life, and try to make each day-hour-minute worthy of all I have to give to the world. Each […]
Mothers Day
I hope each and everyone of you had as nice a mothers day as I did this year. The only thing missing is my son who is still away and will be home this week. I guess it was as close to perfect as it could be. This being the ‘year of you’ had me […]
Staying Strong Not Knowing the Results
So, you or your child are ill. You go from doctor to doctor and begin to feel the pressure of not knowing. Then you have a scare that it may be something very serious. Now you have to wait for the final results and that’s the problem. Recently a friend and co-worker went through a […]
Crazy Weather
We have enough on our plates every day with family issues and responsibilities, especially when you have an ill child or family member. With all we have to do, when the weather controls us it can put a damper on our week. Today, we are only experiencing heavy rain, which here on the East Coast […]
Thank Yous
Nothing makes you feel better that the two simple words, thank you. Recently, we had a major fundraiser and were able to gift out 210 of my books to various charitable organizations. Although I do not expect a formal thank you, it was really nice to receive a few with deep appreciation of our gifts. […]
