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…
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…
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…
HAPPY 2020! I thought I should get all caught up while on vacation, fully aware that I’m a few days late with my New Year post. Hope you are all settling into the New Year with much anticipation and excitement for what’s to come. As for me, I am still living in my over-analyzing (horoscopes)…
Another year, another turkey. Seems like we were just here, cleaning, cooking, preparing our home for our families and loved ones. But not really. We’re in a new home that’s half the size of our old home, in a new neighborhood, in a different state. Everything is so new to us – I’m anxious every…
Mercury is in retrograde. In layman’s terms (because I do read my horoscope every week – whether I take it seriously is another story), I guess that means all hell is breaking loose as we speak. At least for Taurus (me), this is supposed to be a period of questioning, of reckoning, of ultimately deciding…
The month of May was life changing. My feet have yet to touch the ground. Speaking, signing, graduating, celebrating and merging. Where they all lead to, I have no idea. But in every single one of those moments, there were valuable lessons to be learned. On May 16, I spoke at a Woman’s Conference. Delivering…
Wait. How long has it been since I last blogged? Two months? Seems like just yesterday, I was on vacation and writing to my heart’s content. And then stuff happened – work, travel, Arcs for The Year I Left, more work, more travel, graduation, graduation party planning and packing up our house – life, I…
