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…
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…
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…
Everyone is pretty much the same…
I blog, I tweet, I stumble, I Pin and I Facebook. I spend hours 'connecting' with the world through my computer. Friends from yesteryear as well as new ones, the internet has given people an international audience to promote causes, share lives, seek new friendships and reconnect with old ones.

5k/10k Honey Run
I want to host a fundraiser for the Honeysuckle Foundation for Children with Cancer (www.honeysucklefoundation.org) in September one in South Carolina and one on Long Island.

The tragedy in Arizona is all over the news. We have been inundated with media reporting any and all aspects of it and the heroism many exhibited during this time. I am happy for these stories of courage, but I also feel we should remember those who are heroic each and everyday of their lives. …
Faith
In the holiday classic Miracle on 34th Street my favorite line is, 'faith is believing when common sense tells you not to.' There are many times in our lives that we are called upon to have faith. For some it comes in the form of religion but being religious is not a necessary criteria. It…
New Year’s Resolution
2010 is almost over and a new year about to begin. I am ready to take the Christmas decorations down and get life back into some order. After a busy two weeks with my family around to celebrate all that is good in our lives, they have left and I need to get back to…
Making A Memory this Christmas…
My daughter graduated from the University of Florida this past weekend and is now home. Although she did not want to walk for graduation, she is not into all the pomp and circumstance, I asked her to do it for my benefit. Like a rite of passage, I wanted her to complete the journey of college with the ceremony. …
Divorce and the Holidays
Life is very interesting. We all plan our futures and God laughs when he throws us a curveball. Change is something that most of us want nothing to do with as it makes us uncomfortable, yet it happens each and everyday. We never notice it because usually the change is slight and happens over time,…
