We've been told dream big, but how? Dream Big! With years comes experience. When I first started blogging over a decade ago, social media was in its infancy & the way to grow readership & my vision was sharing my blog through channels like Reddit & email subscriptions. Fast forward to today. There are large…
Embracing the future
As days pass & months turn into years, the forward movement of time seems to catch us all by surprise. Our once high energy toddlers are graduating high school, then college while weddings, babies & new homes are the norm. This new norm however, isn't for us, but it is for the 'younger' generation that…
Memories
Experience hopefully teaches us those valuable lessons that we can call upon later in life when facing similar circumstances. In a perfect world everyone would be wise, kind & caring. In a perfect world we would know the problems in our future and tend to them before they became problems. In a perfect world we…
Grateful
Optimist or pessimist? Do you find the 'good' in life and others or do you focus on the 'bad'? Life is a never-ending series of triumphs and challenges.

Inspire
To everyone out there who is feeling overwhelmed, you know who you are. You are mothers, sisters, grandmothers and friends. To anyone who ever said, 'I am done, I cannot do this anymore.' To those of us who have hit rock bottom emotionally, physically or financially, guess what? You are not alone! Having a bad…
Hope
Babies are God's way to let us know that no matter all the 'bad' stuff out there, life is good. My daughter gave birth last week and I became a first time grandmother. I am in love and this new chapter holds promise, joy and hope for us all. The promise of many tomorrows, the…
The Non-coincidental Coincidence
Life has a funny way of presenting coincidence. There are some who say coincidence is just irony, I on the other hand beg to differ. Coincidence in my mind is God's way of putting 'pieces' of life's complications together. Tonight I attended a long time friends nuptials. For someone who has never been married, the…
