A Tragedy and Triumph of the Human Spirit
This has been quite the week of reflection for me. Our country, and the entire world, was stunned when life seemed to come to a halt during the shootings in Aurora. I can only speak for myself, but I believe most of us felt the same…shock and concern of what might come next. It was […]

I was recently published in Inspirational Woman Magazine, an online magazine that really spotlights women. Take a peak at the recent issue to see my latest article. I look forward to all of you reading it and then letting me know your thoughts and opinions on what I have written. The magazine is quite powerful and […]
Remembering My Purpose
As I sit and drink my coffee this morning, I start to think about recently being in the hospital and all I went through, then I think about my childhood and everything that happened to me. I often say that I think it all happened for a reason. Well, it did! All I went through, and […]
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 […]
Ronald McDonald House-A Success!
On Friday night, we did a dinner at the Ronald McDonald House of Southern New Jersey and had a wonderful time. The food was wonderful and the guests of the RMH were so nice and very appreciative. We had some of our areas favorite restaurants donate food to help make this dinner a success. A special THANK YOU […]
Very Exciting
A few days ago when I opened our newspaper, it was exciting to see that a local girl won Miss New Jersey. I have been friends, both personally and through business, with her older brother for years and I am certain that he and the entire family are bubbling over with pride and excitement over […]
Clean Bill of Health
Due to my experience in the hospital, the surgeon decided to do another MRI to check things out. This particular one covered my pelvis and abdomen and took about 1-1/2 hours (not fun). This was to take an extensive look at exactly what is going on inside, making certain nothing was missed. Well, the good news is…I can […]
Being Patient
One thing I have learned from being ill as a child is patience. For some reason, it may go hand in hand with being sick or just months of being exposed to hospital beds, surgeries, tests, and such, along with the ongoing forever “waiting”. Yes, I said waiting. Waiting for results, waiting for appointments, waiting […]
