We measure our lives by years and milestones; birthdays, anniversaries and even divorces and deaths, we remember those days in our lives that something major happened. I remember January 17, 2002 very well for that was the day my daughter Alicia was diagnosed with cancer. This week was the ten-year anniversary of our year from hell, right after the 9/11…
Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanksgiving is the official kick-off to the holidays and a day for family and friends. Every year as we sit at the Thanksgiving table, we go around to ask everyone sitting at that table what exactly they are thankful for. Although a hungry bunch does not want to hear an excessively long list, here is…

For the love of money

Take nothing for granted
There are so many things in life we take for granted. Our family, our friends and our health are just some of them. No one gets up in the morning believing you may lose them that day. We get up and do what we do everyday, survive. I find myself doing the exact same thing, what…
Our Own History…
Each day our lives change and while for the majority of us the change is undetectable, it is still there. We grow older as do our children, our relationships change, our health changes and the list goes on and on. For some people the change is instantaneous; a cancer diagnosis, something catastrophic happens, a job is…
Better Living, Better Health a.k.a New Year’s Resolutions
I am trying to fulfill a New Year's resolution I didn't make; exercise more and eat better. I didn't make it a resolution for once I set my sight on that I knew like most people I would fail. I just started. One walk a day a couple of times a week has now turned into…
