This is 60 I recently turned 60, hard to believe, but as I enter my golden years or silver ones to match the evolving color of my hair, figuring out who I am and what should I be doing for the rest of my life has taken on a new meaning. You see, I never…
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…
What’s your plan?
Happy New Year, the beginning of 2019! A time when New Year’s resolutions are on everyone’s mind. Dieting, exercise, becoming organized or budgeting are just some resolutions people make for themselves. These are all admirable aspirations, but I wonder how many of these ‘ideas’ actually come to fruition? It’s great to say you have a…
Time
I have been told time heals all wounds, but does it? Life is a series of experiences triumphs & tragedies that the passage of time can soften our memories of. Time however, doesn't make those feelings go away. As we grow older & have more memories in our memory bank we can be selective as…

Family
I love my life! There are those who may think my life has not been easy, and it hasn't. I have faced pediatric cancer, an abusive husband, divorce, single parenthood and a host of other things that would make most people cower in fear. I love my life! I am blessed beyond my imagination and…
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…
