I’m guessing that not many people would put the words blessings and grief together but I could see no other way. Also I promised myself I would not write one more sad post about grief and losing people that I love but……hang in here with me, I promise this is more about joy than it […]
Traveling with me is such a joy…maybe not
July 14, 2023 by
We are currently on a mini vacation or not depending on when this gets posted. 🙂 My favorite part of traveling is arriving. My not so favorite part is packing and getting the house ready for our departure.

How Did She do it? She just did :)
July 7, 2023 by
I’m not sure how she did it but she did. My friend Susan managed to spread her sparkle of joy wherever she went and with whoever she met. Her tagline, motto, actually her whole essence was “Choose Joy, Bless Others” and that she did every single day! She also believed that “Until Further Notice Celebrate […]

Saturday was not my best day and yet it got turned around in a lovely way. My benevolence/compassion/tolerance well was bone dry. In our never ending move we were trying to sell some things on Facebook Marketplace which is a challenge in patience and endurance. Lots of scammers, lots of people who flake on you. […]

I jumped off a cliff and so can you!
March 14, 2023 by
Well not really but it sure felt like it. It is true what they say. That first step is a doozy. In May of 2021 I submitted a blog post to Her View From Home and it was accepted for publication. Who knew hitting the send button on that one felt like jumping off a […]
It’s Thoughtful Thursday! The Easy Way to Bring Joy to Yourself and Others
February 25, 2021 by
When was the last time you received a handwritten letter or note? Bet it has been awhile. I love receiving unexpected notes or letters . Even if I know everything that is going on in that persons life it is always good to see familiar handwriting in my mailbox. You can bet it is the […]
It’s Thoughtful Thursday…thankful for the mess
February 4, 2021 by
In the last four years you have read about my monumental task of cleaning out my parents house after my Dad died unexpectedly. At the same time we also had to move my mother into Assisted Living. Honestly much of that time is a blur in my memory. I am still dealing with some of […]
