• Change is inevitable…women can be change…joy is on the horizon.

  

  A few more days and my entire life is about to change. New job. New schedule. Freedom from debt…joy begins! After a decade in a job, I do well. I decided I wanted something more. For myself. For my family. To wake up each morning and be excited about a job again. After the joy […]

• Surgery…strength…marriage survival.💕

  

  I was mostly absent last month due to my husband having major surgery. It was a scary, exhausting month. A lot of tears were shed. I was tested beyond normal limits. The fear of losing my husband gave me the strength to move forward even though I had no idea what I was doing. I […]

• Sunshine and stress!

  I am so sorry it has been a while. All I can say is it’s been very difficult for the past few months. It was like my writing well had dried up. My creative voice replaced with stress and not enough sunshine. Depression and rain. As the oldest child in my family I have always […]

• A year older? Perhaps wiser?

  

  Ever notice that with each birthday it becomes a moment of reflection…your last year…what are you going to do this year? For me it is always a moment to set higher expectations for myself, to reflect on what I didn’t do the previous year…I’m incredibly hard on myself… As quick as I am to be […]

• 🎄Favorite Christmas movies and favorite memories…❤️

  

  Every year we watch certain movies that evoke Christmas for us. It does not feel like Christmas until we see and hear them. My favorite book of all time is “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens… it is such a beautiful story about redemption and second chances… My favorite version of this book is a […]

• Crazy times….for Black Friday sales or something?

  

  It has never made sense to me why people trample each other for socks sales? I am all for good deals…at the expense of someone else’s life or injury…not worth. I can honestly say I haven’t been to Black Friday sales since I was a twenty something…I have since shopped on line for years. I […]

• Happy Thanksgiving…be thankful for everything you have…🍁🍂🦃
