They say your parents are your first teachers. #Truth Like most kids I thought my parents hung the moon and were the smartest people around. That lasted until I was about 13 or 14. At that point I couldn’t believe my parents had made it as far as they had without my […]
Sometimes it’s hard to do the right thing…
August 17, 2017 by
Maybe that is the wrong title. I’m not sure. I just know right now I want to be somewhere else. And yet I know I am where I am needed. I guess. My heart tells a different story. Five months ago my father passed away suddenly. He was 90, vibrant, full of life until suddenly […]
It’s Thoughtful Thursday! What I learned from Betty’s weekly hair appointment!
July 27, 2017 by
One of my earliest memories is my Dad making dinner for us on Friday nights. He only cooked on Fridays because that was when Mom was at the hairdresser for her weekly appointment. I probably remember those dinners so well because Dad only cooked two things: Scrambled eggs or Tuna glop. I believe the ” […]
Unpacking my suitcase and my heart…
June 12, 2017 by
I totally unpacked my suitcase today. I just dumped it out on the floor. Socks, shorts, pj’s, underwear, shirts,loose change and little pieces of trash spread in a not so artistic heap on the rug at the end of my bed. I went to the bathroom and dumped my other bag and watched my makeup, […]

In the midst of my year of running, life happened ..sadly!

After a long absence from running which I blamed on breaking my wrist a year ago ( lame excuse but an excuse) I started out the new year with high hopes to get back into running consistently and training for a local 10k on April 1st. The irony of having my first race of 2017 […]

The Two Things Carrie Fischer and I have in common!
January 4, 2017 by
The world lost a unique individual last week. Like many of you I have been following all the news posts about Carrie Fischer’s life, and if it wasn’t enough that we lost her, then her mother, Debbie Reynolds, left us as well. The first thing that surprised me about Carrie was her age. I actually […]
