Hello, stranger. It’s been a while. I hope you’re all enjoying the Thanksgiving weekend. It’s hard to believe that almost a year has passed since my last post. So much has happened that I hardly know where to begin. What a year it’s been! I often remember encouraging you all to close your eyes and…
Merry Christmas, dear readers! As I write this, I imagine you all as we are – filled with delicious food and desert and wine and plopped down in front of the television. My son is home from Denver and has declared a “History Week”. As it stands, we are watching Gladiator (we watched this in…
Happy Sunday, everyone. I’ve lost my husband to Football season, the sun is shining despite the high winds and I’ve locked myself inside my home as ten wild turkeys circle around my yard, waiting to eat me. Somewhere Along the Way released last Tuesday, September 24 while I was at my nephew’s wedding in Vancouver….
Welcome to Summer! Since our last blog entry, I’ve celebrated my 60th birthday, vacationed in the Philippines, traveled for work to New York and Toronto (more than once), received the award of my life, spoken at a Youth Leadership Conference and finished my latest book! Needless to say, I am so ready for an uneventful…
Something big is happening this week! And it’s taken me a few months to process. I am turning 60! There’ve been so many steps to get here. It’s a young culture, you know. So much emphasis is placed on looking young, acting young, thinking young. And although I hardly feel my age, there’s no denying….
Hope you’re all having a great 4th of July holiday. Before anything else, I’d like to THANK YOU, dear readers for all your love and support during the release of My Goodbye Girl last June 6th. This book managed to keep its #1 New Release flag for a whole month, and I am beyond (surprised)…
Happy 2023! I hope you’re all having a great start to the New Year. Here I am in sunny (windy) Isla Mujeres, having the most creative spurt I’ve had in many months. 2022 felt like a whirlwind. A rollercoaster of emotions and change that happened so quickly, it felt out of control at times. I…
My first blog post for 2022 and on my new website. I’m so excited! Time has just flown, hasn’t it? And in that six month period since I last wrote, my life has changed in so many ways. In February, I found the courage to walk away from a work environment that just wasn’t for…
Week 3 and things haven’t changed at all. In fact, we all have these gut feelings that they’ve actually gotten worse. This morning, I saw my son pull into the driveway from his night shift at the ER. I grabbed the dog and waited by the window to wave at him before he entered the…
There has always been a perception that for people like me, with happy families and great jobs and careers and who don’t post problems on social media, life is perfect and everything is hunky dory. Today, more than ever, I felt the need to write this post. Just an hour ago, my husband, my son…
