Although I have been blogging for years & use the internet for many things, research, connecting to others & enjoyment, I am astounded by the growing number of 'influencers' who now dominate social media platforms. From make-up tips, decorating your home, life coaches & what to wear they all seem to have a common theme…
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…
What are you thankful for; family, friends, good health? Thanksgiving is a day to acknowledge those things we hold near and dear to us, but did you ever wonder if others are thankful having us in their lives? Are our family and friends giving thanks for knowing us and being part of their lives? Does…
It's my daughter Lauren and son-in-law Michael's first wedding anniversary. A year of firsts; first home, first holidays and first baby. Time moves on so quickly that we sometimes get so involved in the everyday routines that we forget to take notice of those special moments and they just pass. One year ago today Lauren…

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. The things I write about have…
Another year has passed and what have you done? Have you achieved all you hoped for at the beginning of 2013? Are you happy or sad to see this year go and a new one begin? Welcoming a new year is part of life. Days turn into weeks, into months and into years and they…
Wouldn't it be nice if we lived in a world of people acting respectfully and responsibly; a world where people spoke the truth instead of distorting it? Wouldn't it be nice if your relatives were role models and nice people? Wouldn't it be nice if those who supposedly loved us actually showed it to us…
January 2013 is off to a quick start and another year is well on its way. There is a saying that time flies when you are having fun, so I guess I must be having a blast because weeks just seem to zip by. The new year is like a reboot for our lives, a chance…
